Finding My Voice

I started working when I was 8 - acting, performing, voice overs, plays, TV… and I started working with a highly regarded vocal coach when I was 15. He was my mentor and his word was authority. I was an R&B singer, the only caucasian in an all-black musical, Motown got my record and loved it, but didn’t know what to do with a 15-year-old who sang like Tina Marie (the main comparison I got in those days). I had a label A&R tell me I should be more like Alannis Morrisette when she just blew up + that sound was the new trend. I had a strong voice and was told, learned, and thought I had to sing a certain way for my voice to be “Good”

My voice was on the record, but my heart, soul and connection was slowly fading into the background getting locked up. I was disconnected, lost about who I am and who I was told I should and shouldn’t be + I started hating singing and music.

I slowly found my way out of that painful, frustrating place. I didn't understand why I didn’t like singing, the thing I love doing more than anything + why I sounded so bad.

I had to find ME again - what I love about music, what I had to say + how I wanted to say it. I sang LOW, I used falsetto, I sang music that wasn’t my genre…

This experience shaped the person and coach I am. It became the foundation for myself and empowering the artists I work with - to find YOUR VOICE. Let go of what culture and others have told you to be so you can be who you are designed and desire to be.

I want you to LOVE what you do and how you do it. The business of music can make you forget your WHY.
