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!

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! *
