Songwriting

I am a professional singer, guitarist, songwriter, and recording artists. I started singing at the age of 3. While growing up, I was involved in various choir ensembles such as Gospel, Jazz, Chamber, and Acapella groups which includes vocal training, harmonization, and improvising vocally. At the age of 6, I learned piano. At the age of 18, I started learning guitar.  I am proficient on acoustic and electric guitar. 
I am specializing in songwriting and vocal arranging. In 2018, I decided to do music full-time not only as a guitarist but also a solo artist. I was mentored by Roc Nation's artist, Nicole Bus for her "Artist Start Up" program in 2020. It gave me more knowledge on the business side of the industry besides the artistry. In 2022, 

I mentored a few women who wants to become more well rounded as an artist both creative and business wise.
I have music on streaming platforms and worked with other artists and producers.
