Q: What do you think makes you stand out from your competition?
A: I have nothing to lose and everything to gain … that makes me absolutely FEARLESS and it’s evident in my performances!

Q: What’s your coolest moment with a fan?
A: There was a moment after I lost my son at birth that I wanted to quit. I was still performing but quite sad & unhappy; didn’t think I could keep it up when after a show a fan walked up to me and told me how necessary my music was and how she needed to be at every show.  She hugged me and told me in so many words that she could feel my strength and how resilient I was.  At the time very few, if any knew what I was dealing with.  She has no idea that her words came at just the right time!

Q: Any moments where you felt like you were really breaking into the music industry?
A: Touring the world over – in the States and abroad – with Grammy winning duo Outkast performing their hit ‘Hey Ya’ & I even sang background on the album Speakerboxx/The Love Below.

Q: If you could open for anyone, who would it be?
A: Gnarles Barkley

Q: Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
A: Touring, performing, authoring childrens books, running my vintage boutique & SPA…vacationing in my other home in South Afrika with my family!

Q: Who is your hero?
A: My mom, cancer survivor, a soldier, brilliant!  She’s Gods finest example of Woman!
