As a child growing up in Moss Bluff and Westlake Louisiana, I would sing along
to the country tunes coming over the radio...and while I was the only person to
hear most of those songs at the time, it would not be too much longer before
others would be treated to them as well!
I began performing in front of live audiences at the age of 10, and found
myself at home in front of the crowds. I have never really been shy about
doing anything, especially when I was younger! Everywhere I went, I was
singing something, so it seemed only natural for me to sing onstage. Even if
there were almost 2000 people watching, I still felt very at ease performing
and entertaining them. I mention the number 2000 because that is how many were
in attendance when I performed in the Rosa Hart Theatre at age 13! Now, I
perform for audiences throughout Southwest Louisiana and Southeast Texas.
My repertoire includes country, soul, pop, r&b and even jazz!
I primarily perform rhythm and blues songs currently, but I am a fan of just
about every form of music. It does not matter to me what song it is, I
enjoy doing it all! That
"all"
goes so far as to include some music that is not even done in the English
language! My sister and a friend used to listen to Selena as well as some
other Tejano music that was sung in Spanish, so I started to get into it.
After a while, I started to learn some of the songs and began to sing
them for others to enjoy. I really do like just about any kind of music I
come across, and if I hear enough of it, I learn it!
I hope to make a career out of my lifelong love of music. I have been
performing with the Zydeco Boneshakers for almost 2 years. I have also
performed extensively in the Southwestern Louisiana and Southeastern Texas areas
with other artists, including Classie Ballou and Big "Bad" Ike.
