Music Is what I have to give because I eat Sleep and breathe this.
Staci Russell, who hails from Austin,Tx has been singing since the age of 14. She first started out with Carnival Beats led by owner Salih Williams, Then at age 16, she was in a group called "PICK YA POISON" with Y2JJ & Mr. Fitness. They would wind up producing her first hit single "Holla" that opened up everyone’s eyes and made them wonder who the hell is Staci Russell.

She has opened up for many platinum selling artist like Ice Cube, Crime Mob, & UGK just to name a few. Staci is now part of a non profit foundation called "CAKE" (Creativity, Abundance, Knowledge, Elevation) that is working to empower women and girls through music.
