• Venue address and load-in instructions
• Performance time and set length

Yes, I provide both sound and lighting equipment if needed. However, this must be communicated and confirmed in advance so I can prepare accordingly and bring the proper setup.

Yes

One of the best gigs I’ve ever done was opening up for Bobby Valentino—it was an amazing experience. He was so genuine, and the crowd’s energy was unforgettable.

As for the best venue I’ve ever worked at, I’d have to say The Freeman Café. It was the first place I sang at when I moved to Dallas, and it’s truly become home for me. The vibe, the people, the love—it’s unmatched.

My favorite type of event is definitely weddings. There’s something so powerful about being part of such a special, emotional, once-in-a-lifetime moment. I love helping create memories that people will hold onto forever.

Right now, I’m actively gigging around Dallas with a few weekly residencies, and it’s truly something I live for. I love performing, connecting with different crowds, and pushing myself to elevate the experience every single week.

I’ve been singing my whole life, but I started gigging professionally in Dallas around 2018, after performing at an open mic at The Prophet Bar. That night opened doors—and ever since, I’ve been booked and busy.

I’m most influenced by Kim Burrell—her ability to blend gospel and jazz is unmatched, and her tone is just as colorful and expressive as mine. I really connect with that.

My favorite artist has to be Whitney Houston. Her professionalism, vocal control, and presence are everything. She’s the full package and always will be an icon to me.

As for the greatest song of all time… I’m lowkey having a panic attack trying to choose! There are just too many masterpieces to pick only one.

What sets me apart is my intentionality—every note, every lyric, every moment on stage is purposeful. I don’t just sing; I connect. I bring real emotion, a soulful sound, and a vibe that shifts the atmosphere. Whether it’s 5 people or 500, I make the space feel intimate, like the music was meant just for them.

We typically arrive an hour before showtime for setup and soundcheck. Our standard performance includes two 45-minute sets with a short break in between.

We’re always happy to adjust and perform longer or shorter based on what works best for the venue or event—just let us know what you need!

We’re open to performing outdoors, but we do ask that there’s a nearby power source, a flat, stable surface, and some shade to keep the setup and performance comfortable and safe.

Clients are welcome to choose songs from our repertoire or leave the set list in our hands—we’re happy to tailor it to the vibe. We can also learn up to 5 special request songs ahead of the event with notice.

Previous clients often describe my performances as soulful, engaging, and full of energy. They love the way I connect with the crowd, bring emotion to every song, and create an atmosphere that feels both powerful and personal.
