How did you first get started in your craft?

Favorite Artist(s) and/or Inspirations?
Etta James, Bette Midler, Carly Simon, Carol King.... so many more.
Favorite Piece You've Created?
I have three CDs and trying to pick a favorite is like asking a mother who's her favorite child.
What’s the most challenging part of being an artist, or something you had to overcome?:
I was sick with septic pneumonia and lost my voice for three years. I am on oxygen 24/7 but worked hard to sing again, which is great for my lungs. I've grown as an artist in multiple genres but focusing on performing my original songs. I am a multiple award-winning blues vocalist and have performed throughout the U.S.

Go see, listen and enjoy the many talented performers in our area. Buy their CDs and share the music.

I'm a true homebody when I'm not singing in the local bars and community events.

What's next for you?
Continue to sing and play as long as the Good Lord lets me. I'm working on my fourth album now.
