When you're a background singer, you're there to support the artist. The transition is up to the person. You have to follow your heart. You make life decisions that will affect what you really want to do. You put that kind of energy out, and you put it out aggressively. And if you work hard, you'll pave the way.

I feel most alive when I'm singing along to old gospel music.

Fighting cancer is my mission right now. The research and development of finding cures for this nasty disease is my passion.
