Hailing from New York City, this singer and songwriter always had musical aspirations, but after college started waiting tables first. A Craigslist ad of a songwriter looking for a vocalist to sing a demo changed all that. Since then she’s lent her voice to several collabs, wrote songs for artists like Milow, did jingle and voiceover work and sung backing vocals for Kanye West and Drake. Based in LA and inspired by Alicia Keys and Etta James, she debuted with “Leave It Alone” in 2010.
Singing about how a rough breakup led to her prioritizing her own mental health, growth and self-love, her new single is filled with positivity and personal development.
