I am a vocally versatile singer who can adapt to just about any style of music. My love is R&B/Soul, but I have been known to belt out a Power Ballad or two from the 80's! My voice is clear and dynamic although I would like to work with a vocal coach to help fine tune it. Don't get me wrong, I am performance ready now, but it never hurts to humble oneself and ask for additional help. I enjoy covers of music from R&B, Jazz, and Blues -- with the occasional pop song thrown in there once in a while. I do also write (and copyright) my own lyrics and wouldn't mind collaborating with a creative songwriter. Again, I'm very flexible vocally with the right group of musicians. This would be the first time in almost 10 years that I work with musicians to practice/perform, but I still got it and, if given the opportunity, whomever choses to work with me would see that for themselves.
