Ooh.. good one. I'm gonna get back to you...

How it all began...

I first performed in front of an audience-- in front of the stage, actually at my sister's dance recital when I was two. I dragged my mom to dance lessons ASAP after that. My first solo song and dance performance was at age 3. Then came competitions & pageants. I started doing commercials and fit modeling at 5, voice lessons at 6, my first musical at 7. At 12, I began singing lead for a girl's R&B/hip hop group called enVus.

At age 16, I found my way back to Musical Theatre, and decided to stay. I received my BFA in Musical Theatre at the University of Cincinnati, College- Conservatory of Music (CCM), and moved to New York after graduation.

In the works...

Next week, Friday, February 13th, 8PM, I will be performing in a cabaret showcase at the Laurie Beechman Theatre (Downstairs at the West Bank Cafe) on West 42nd Street, between 9th and 10th Aves. There is a $20 cover, and $15 food and/or drink minimum.

Down the road...

I'm getting back into commercial work.
