I’m a singer-songwriter and producer from Arlington, TX, USA. I have been writing and recording music professionally for 5+ years. I specialize in Positive or Romantic Soul-R&B (think if Sade and India Arie had a baby), but I have an eclectic taste and can write for any genre.

A: Most proud of my debut album Spread Love; everyone who hears it finds a new favorite song, I receive lots of feedback about how songs have provided healing support during hard times and two of my songs charted Top 5 on iTunes R&B/Soul charts.
