INSPIRATION
Watching how my older brother and grandmother sing to emotionally connect with an audience during our church worship service inspired me to sing at an early age. I too wanted this ability to be able to encourage and inspire people through the gift of music.
FAVORITE MUSIC
R&B/Soul and Gospel are my favorite style of music because both of these genres purpose is to make a connection to the human soul either emotionally or spiritually. I love music that not only have a good hook to it, but a great message as well.

OBSTACLES
Growing up I had a speech impediment where people could not understand me. My brother was around me long enough to know how I pronounced words. When we go out he would be my interpreter so that people would know what I was saying. I went through speech classes throughout all of elementary school where I finally was able to pronounce words correctly. This disability impacted my singing because people could not understand me. To this day when I find myself mispronouncing words, I go back to my basic training during elementary school to properly pronounce the words I am saying. I still remember my speech teacher’s name, Mr. Tyler. Even though I have no idea where he is, he made a huge impact on my life.
ACCOMPLISHMENT
My biggest accomplishment was when I obtained my Ph.D. from MIT and when my music landed on the top 25 Billboard Best Adult R&B Songs Chart
INTERESTING FACTS
1) I have a phobia with ketchup. 2) While I was in high school, my doctor discovered that I had holes in my bone which stopped me from continuing to play sports at high level.
