Ever since I can remember, i yearned to use my voice far beyond singing, but to teach, inspire and to articulate meaning.  I began writing lyrics at the age of 13, entering my first talent show at St. Joachim Elementary with none other than Donny Hagen (Marvin Gaye's Drummer) and this began the start of my love for music.  Aretha Franklin was my hero and Motown became the inspiration and model for which I would follow. I toured with various bands including Little Milton (deceased) i entertained at many of the Chicago land clubs however I desired to further my education and earned a Masters Degree in Human Services Administration.  When not performing I devote my time supporting  Character Education initiatives and  Theater /Music Arts. My Foundation, Force II B Reckoned also partners with Mary's Kids, which take groups of youth to theater Productions and Roberthouseinc.org. which is a mentoring program.
