ABOUT

I’m a soulful, sophisticated Jazz Vocalist new to ATL. Seeking to create a solid sextet for gigs and recordings. Performing original music along with Latin and Jazz standards with an R&B twist. Seeking artists who can commit to one-two months of serious work. No egos, no BS, just bring your love of music and your desire for creating magic. *(Songwriters a plus)
