At an early age through the arts, I was fortunate to find an outlet to learn & apply, express myself, create, develop a positive image of myself, and a feel of importance, and significance to the world.

My music has always been important regardless of other projects.

In many inner cities, there are issues of less economic stability, poorer education, community centers being stripped away, arts being removed from the school system leaving many children imbalanced, isolated from their most powerful self... the independent thinker, the creator, the dreamer often leaving children more susceptible to other harmful things out of boredom or feelings of rejection.

I'd like to be remembered as a good person, that gave as much as she could with what she had to give.

Art is the more spiritual side of education that really does saves lives and makes amazing individuals.

Being independent gives me freedom to creatively be great. Standing on your own doesn't always get major exposure or support, but because I make music from a pure place, I am more so excited and relieved that it actually gets out into the universe.

The arts are statistically proven to increase independent thinking, creativity, discipline, balance, and academic improvement in children.
