Have been singing since I was a young child. My Father was a street Evangist is Bronx, New York. I used to sing with my Mother for services he had. I also had very diverse church background. When I lived in New York till the age of 14 my family attended an Black Penicostal Church. Whitch had over 100 person gospel choir. This is where my love for gospel music took root. Many people say I have a very special gift because I can sing Black Gospel music whitch is not typical for most Caucasian women. However when my Father passed away my Mother and I moved to Grand Rapids to be near family. This is we're I attended a Methodist church for almost 8 years. I sang in choir, played handball, and sang solos
