I'd been in a vicious cycle and circle of people and couldn't see my way out. So I picked myself up one day about 15 years ago and moved where I didn't know anyone.

Painted faces, sun burnt skin, fixed expressions, smiles worn thin.

It sacrifices people's lives and their essences at the drop of a dimeI had a manager once say to me, You know you're worth more money dead than alive.

I like to work spontaneously.

I'm a woman and I'm a backbone...everybody needs one.

I've been collaborating with Ira Schickman on some songs, and there will be many other, great musicians involved.

I've always struggled so much just to appreciate myself.
