I don't like being under someone elses thumb. I'm very supportive of other female artists, especially those trying to make their own statement... trying to do what they want instead of being someone else's Barbie doll.

I'm a woman with a mission. I've learned to believe in myself, my vision and to do things the way I want them done.
