Wow, I feel blessed to have met or supported so many Legends of Reggae, including Bob Andy, Beres Hammond, Freddie McGregor, Marcia Griffiths, Junior Reid, Luciano, Sanchez, Maxi Priest, I Octane, Jah Bouks and Etana.
Furthermore, it has been a real pleasure to have worked and performed alongside so many Reggae
Legends such as Carroll Thompson, Janet Kay, Nereus Joseph, Paulette Tajah, Tippa Irie and
Ossie Gadd. All of the Artistes from 'Women with Voices' Album Launch, UK Reggae Showcase, AAA
Success Charity Event, Andrew Sloley at the Chart Vibes FM Winners Party and Terro Melody on the
Beres Tour. In fact, there are too many names to mention.
The first artists of the night were PA’s. We caught Karen Schloss’s last song ‘All I Need‘ on the timeless Silhouettes riddim which had got the crowd bubbling.

Check some of the moments from my musical carrier
I started singing from a very early age and I have fond memories of singing with my Father. My Father had a fantastic singing voice and we would often sit down and sing a range of songs from many genres but mostly Reggae from many labels including Studio One and Trojan.
At the age of fifteen, I made my first stage appearance at the Derby West Indian Centre and I went on to do various other performances there. My influences include Deborah Glasgow, Dorothy Moore, Cynthia Schloss, Marcia Griffiths, Anita Baker, Bob Andy and the Grace Thrillers.
My Parents and family have always encouraged me to sing and they have always supported me. I grew up in a Pentecostal Church so I also have also been influenced by Gospel Music.
I got my first break when I attended a Concert by the legendary DJ Joseph Cotton, which was held in Derby. He offered me the microphone, I sang and I received a great applause from the crowd. This resulted in a collaboration on one of his songs 'Breakfast in Bed.
Mr Cotton then introduced me to his friend, the Producer Trevor Elliott (Musical Ambassador) which led to me recording my 'Debut' single 'My Time' in July 2015.
Additionally, I have since supported several National and International Artists including Etana, Freddie McGregor, Marcia Griffiths, Junior Reid, I Octane, Beres Hammond, Maxi Priest, Luciano, Jah Bouks, Janet Kay and Carrol Thompson.
Voted Number 1 for 5 weeks on Vibes FM UK Reggae Wednesday's with current single 'All I Need'
Placed in first edition of 'The Dub' as 'Recommend Artiste' June 2016
Included in Top 5 Females 'one to watch' alongside other international Artistes for 2016/2017 in US
