Just when you thought you've heard Jazz sliced and diced 100 different ways, welcome to my paradigm-shift Jazz 101. This first cut has all the components to be a contender in the music arena. We wanted to present a positive message, and focus on good vibes to the listener. We wanted to take you to that good feeling you get when you haven't seen a best friend for a long time. My platform is also to bring a new "swagger" if you will to re-vamp the Big Band era with a splash of a little neo-soul and jazz mix. This first album, presents swinging beats and crooner undertones, just on time for jazz lovers. My vocal style and timbre has been recognized as akin to entertainers such as Nina Simone, and Sarah Vaughn. Thank you for you support and interest in my project in the works. My name is very relevant for it has a dual meaning. I will be supporting school children in "Sierra Leone", West Africa through the non-profit organization called "Mission Direct" with a portion of my CD sales. It is my passion and vocal drive to bring to the forefront the seventh most impoverished group of people in the United Kingdom.
