I began my journey in music at the age of five, igniting a lifelong passion that led me to start writing music by the time I was thirteen. As a gospel artist, I embarked on tours across various states and cities, showcasing my original compositions to audiences far and wide. Following my touring endeavors, I redirected my focus towards supporting my youngest sister's musical aspirations, lending my songwriting and production talents to her endeavors. Additionally, my oldest sister and I provided background vocals for her performances. In my own musical endeavors, I independently released three albums, one of which featured a song that garnered recognition in the film industry. This track was featured in a short movie and earned accolades for its originality, further validating my dedication to the craft. Beyond music, I also excelled in athletics, playing Division 1 basketball at a JUCO in Rockingham County, North Carolina, for two years. Despite receiving an offer to play professionally in Italy after having a successful summer pro league, I made the decision to prioritize my education, ultimately earning my undergraduate degree in Sociology from Saint Augustine University. Reflecting on my journey, I am deeply grateful for the opportunities I've had as a singer, songwriter, and former Division 1 college athlete. Each experience has shaped me into the person I am today, and I am excited to continue pursuing my passions and making a positive impact in all aspects of my life.
