The Golden Girl
1. My name is pronounced Mu•see•na.
2. In my spare time I like to read, sketch (which I promise share more of soon) and watch children’s movies (because they have the BEST and most imaginative scores).
3. From the ages of 3-8, I studied ballet.
4. I started playing piano at age 11. (…as in 17 years ago. Gah!)
5. In 2005 I received my certification for Pro Tools engineering.
6. I can sight read sheet music, write music notation and arrange for big band and/or orchestras.
7. On stage, I almost exclusively play a voyager or little phatty synthesizer as I am endorsed by moog music.
8. As a member of Common’s band I’ve performed fon two separate occasions. Once at the hometown inaugural ball and later at the 2010 democratic rally in Hyde Park, Chicago.
9. In 2010 I was nominated for a “Best Vocal Performance” Grammy® in the Urban Alternative Category, for my work with The Foreign Exchange.
10. I generally write, arrange, produce, compose, record and even mix all my own music.
**. BONUS FACT: For my 28th birthday I released the‘Gone’ double EP,
which you can preview and download here.
The ‘Gone’ 2xEP is essentially 2 EPs in one – (Urban & Suburban) where I take 3 songs ideas and interpret them based on my early experiences in D.C. and Virginia. Hope you enjoy!

Hello Lovies,
If you’ve been with me over the course of at least the last 2 years, you know what a challenge it has been to get to this point. And so it is extremely exciting to announce that I will be releasing new music tonight, at midnight.
Hey lovies!
As you may know… the chance to open for Jennifer Hudson in Aruba at the SoulBeach 2011 concert was recently up for grabs and thanks to all of your voting, I WON!
Hey lovies! I hope all of you are doing awwwesome. I’m going to make this short and sweet so I’m going to make these 3 little announcements and be on my way. :)
After months of living, writing, and recording, I’ve just bounced a master of my new musical effort. I’m so glad to share my experiences with you all. This EP, which I call “Gone”, speaks from a place of emotional vulnerability. I’m happy to know that it’s helped me through my own personal changes and can help those of you dealing with a troubling time. Either way. It’s coming really soon. Thanks for sticking with me.
Love it, like it, then SHARE it! *

*UPDATE: The EP was extended to a double EP. The 2xEP is available here.
Hopefully you are as excited to be here as we are to have you! As we’ve spent much of this month making (what we believe) is our contribution to Black History Month, by way of new music & art, it is our utmost pleasure to introduce the new beta version of the site.
Feel free to click around. There’s loads to explore.
