Inspired by artists like Sade and Michael Jackson, I’m a 30-year-old singer / songwriter, who’s out to become the number one music artist in the world. Using my love for music, attention to detail, and imagination, I’ve been able to create a rhythm that tells a story. Originally from San Francisco, I was raised in a Christian/Catholic household& was a firm believer, until something very big shook my faith. I was sexually abused by my father at 8 years old. After my abuse, I was silenced for 15 years by the church and my family. As a little girl, who’s father was a deacon, and primary spiritual example, my belief system crumbled under his sickness. I was left broken. Lack of support left me isolated and alone. I came to Los Angeles, hoping to pursue music, and find the courage to share my story. I moved to city of 7 million a victim, and became an advocate.
