"It is personally rewarding to go to a place where people need a smile...a touch...a song. Music is healing, and I'm fortunate to be able to bring some happiness to somebody's day or comfort them with a favorite song."

"If you told me 10 years ago that I would be pursuing a professional singing career, I would have thought you were crazy! This all started quite accidentally by my singing at a block party, and a new career snowballed from there! I pray for guidance on everything, so I said a prayer early on that if this was something I was supposed to be doing, that the Lord would provide the opportunities and guide me...and He has surely done that! I know deep in my heart and soul I'm supposed to sing...and that there is a purpose in everything I'm doing. I don't know what the future holds or what I'm suppose to do with this gift when I get there, but for now, I'm going along for the ride...and enjoying every minute of it!!"

"Country music has evolved into a different sound over the past 15 years or so, and my fans are telling me they like what I'm singing because they miss the traditional sounds from the early days, where the roots of country music started."

I enjoy performing and writing songs that have a more traditional sound, rich with acoustics, like steel guitars, fiddles, harmonicas, etc. - and the "Nashville Sound" that developed in the late 1950's. I love experimenting with different sound effects, styles, and delivery."

"It's an exciting time for country music, especially for women. We've come a long way since Kitty Wells and Patsy Cline opened doors for us, and I think women are being taken much more seriously and doing very exciting things in the industry. I hope to make my mark with my sound and style, and leave a legacy for those who follow."

"I'm also having a great time performing different genre's of music this past year. We decided to offer four different shows; an all country show featuring traditional country thru current country/pop/rock tunes, our special "Tribute to Patsy Cline" biographical stage production, our newest show called Women in Country, and a Variety type show that has a little bit of all genre's to satisfy all ages and musical tastes. I've had many requests to record a gospel CD, so that has been my latest project. It's an inspirational cd fill with songs of faith, hope, love, & morality type issues, and it's called Let It Shine. It's my best work yet and I'm very excited about the new cd."
