SINGER/SONGWRITER....open to ideas and co working
Born in Southern Africa, I grew up listening to all types of music and song and dance was a natural part of my everday life. Though I was singing a lot at church it was only after I moved to Denmark in my teens that I was inspired to sing. So I took my biggest step at the age of 18 and moved to Munich to work as a backing vocalist for a reggae band but I ended up working for a popular afro american singer Joan Orleans as well as being part of one of the largest gospel choirs in Germany. After returning to Denmark I took a dance theater education and focused on that for some time. Time passed, I had my beautiful son and the inspiration to write and sing came back. I put up my first band in 2001 and was invoveld in some compilation CDs with some of the most popular urban/hip hop artists in Denmark at this moment.
Unfortunatley I had a lot of set backs in my life and that influenced my work so I sometimes had to step back and focus on my challenges.
Years have passed but it has only made me stronger and the best thing is that I know myself, I have the inner peace. Music is back in my life and it will always be.
2 years ago I was invited to feature in a lounge/triphop band in Moscow and we released a couple of singles together and that process inspired me to want to put up an album together. That is what I am working on at the moment so if any one wants to contribute, please get at me! In need of good beats and hooks!
Besides music, I coach young people in singing and drama as part of community project for the young ones, so that they can stay away from trouble and build up their self esteem.
I also love acting, have featured in short films and a couple of commercials.
