Native of Los Angeles, California, educated in the Los Angeles Unified School System and worked in the banking, sales, and financial services industry for over forty years.
Learned to play the piano, violin, and flute in my early school years and participated in the Gospel Choir while a college student at Occidental.
My love for singing gospel music began at my home church, Greater New Light Baptist Church and as a member of the Sacred Praise Chorale at Faithful Central Bible Church and the Los Angeles Chapter Choir of the Gospel Music Workshop of America, Inc., (GMWA).
