Musical Influences: My musical inspiration spans across many genres such as worship music, R&B, Soul, Country, Heavy Metal, Pop, Funk, Classical, Kiwiana, Reggae and Disco. Also influenced by timeless artists from every era, from Lulu and Ella Fitzgerald to Billy Idol and The Eagles as well as Kirk Franklin and Ardijah the list goes on and that’s what I love about music, the options are endless. Over the years I have had the privilege of performing at gigs, but singing in church will always remain closest to my heart.
Musical Aspirations: My musical aspirations are simple; I don’t plan on being a big celebrity. To inspire just one person to start their own music career and to see my baby surpass my own musical achievements would be the icing on the cake for me. For now, I just want to have fun and keep my passion for music alive.
