My older sister Nikki went to Hampton music school in Virginia, then to another school later in New York.

And I used to listen to a lot of jazz.

My family is very theatrical.

I'm not the classic type - fair skin, very beautiful women of a classic type, I'm talking about now.

Voice is my instrument.

Chick Corea was a great influence on me, musically, as I was growing up.

So many comics have such low self-esteem.
