About Me |
|
| ..About me? 1st born daughter of some bonafide originals! Papa hails from Guinea Bissau, Mama from Mozambique (Lusophone to the bone minha gente)....born in France, raised in Cali and currently living, working & loving life in MD/DC. ************** About my music? Been singing since Kindergarten (sang about Betsy Ross sewin the US flag...lol) Did musicals and choirs through elementary and Highschool, of course I sang in the church and trained in Classical from Highschool through 2nd year of College. I was quiet for about 3 or 4 years...then I discovered Jazz (singing it that is) about 3 years ago...and I'm still learning. ************** THE LATEST (as of Winter '08): new begginings, its a new page. just starting off the latest chapter in my legal career....its beautiful. the hours can be long, but I'm loving every minute. As I shift gears, I'm pacing the music. But new things will happen in '08, I'm writing new material and hope to record before the years end. Gig dates will be limited, but when they do happen, I promise nothin but Good music! Hope 2 C U at a gig near you ;-) | |
