My pop music inspires positivity and laughter in a sonic caress; I love driving people happy. Iconic voices like Billie Holiday, Karen
Carpenter, Judy Garland and Sarah Vaughan echo in my vocals. Two plus decades of live shows as a “Lady Jukebox” and countless hours studying great writers, created my velvet sound and lyrical point of view.
