Diva-Kee + Musician in Charlotte, NC

SEEKING

ABOUT

Moved to the Charlotte area at the end of 2004 after I separated from the Air Force (5yrs). I've been singing and performing all my life. While in the military I won first place at the Air Force World Wide Talent Competition. I then got selected for their entertainment showcase "Tops In Blue" and went on a world tour for 14 months. We went through the boot camp of performing (dancing/ showmanship included) and we were the performers and our own stage crew. Did I mention that we had our own 9 piece band too? Pretty amazing, prestigious group. I'm lucky enough to be called back to work for them on staff each year now, helping prepare the next group of performers.

I'd like to either form or join a band that loves to play. I love jazz and the blues, and anything funky...but I mostly just love music. I can belt RNB, Rock, Soul, and Country too. It's all in the interpretation.

I write music and love the sound of good harmonies. Prefer a band wth a horn section, just not the same without (guess that's cause I used to play the trumpet)

I'd like to be able to perform in the area some and then eventually state, region, coast, etc... Very hard worker and very dedicated.
