简介
T-West's vocal abilities were first noticed as a very young child, when she stunned her church congregation with melodic notes that most adult vocalists struggle to deliver. She performed in several talent shows and showcases which helped to develop her versatile style. T-West was greatly influenced by such greats as Patti Labelle; Sade; Anita Baker; Angela Winbush; Stephanie Mills; Chaka Kahn; Stevie Wonder; Phyllis Hyman; Rochelle Ferrell; Prince; Michael Jackson; and Phillip Bailey. As a result, T-West has developed a unique style that integrates lush vocals, melodic hooks, intiguing lyrics and dramatic harmonies manipulating her powerful voice as if playing an instrument. While completing college, T-West continued performing and recording as a solo artist at numerous venues. She has completed a magnificently diverse cd, "STAND FOR SOMETHIN'", as a result. T-West has appeared with and/or has had production and writing collaborations with an eclectic list of pros that include, Steve Jones of Acoustic Alchemy; Diallo Moss; Walter Bell and the Latin Jazz Unit; Lil' Roc; Rhian Benson; Sunchild & Cola of XM Radio channel 61; Ty Gray-El; Justine Love of WPGC 95.5 Washington, DC for BET/Rap-It-Up;Shocklee Entertainment; Phyreneyce; Glen "Rashad" Smith; and Eric "Spade" Haynes for Rythym Shack Studio. Along the way, T-West completed acting and modeling courses to become more multi-dimensional and to further utilize her shapely 5'7" 135lb. frame and striking features. She obtained her SAG eligibility by appearing in a feature film, three television shows, a television pilot, and commercials. T-West gives us a unique performer that's able to slide in and out of different genres (R&B/Soul, Jazz, Hip-Hop, Funk) and skills (singing, writing, modeling, dancing, and acting) very effortlessly. When asked of her ultimate career goal, T-West replied, "My goal is to be a complete entertainer...I want to provide top notch entertainment with each performance."
