Born in West Germany, the diva still listens to music on the amp that came over to the United States with her- perhaps that fact combined with a sweet vinyl collection has influenced her vintage disposition & retro style... Growing up in New York, Candi was exposed to many different kinds of music- Broadway standards seemed to be everywhere... Singing in church choir weekly probably influenced her soulful style... an instrumentalist, Candi was well-versed in musicianship that played over to her vocal competitions quite nicely... Having lived in both the city and the country, Candi is just as comfortable belting out tunes on wooded mountain tops and canyons as she is sending her soulful voice out on the subway or random street corners... Her adventuresome spirit has had outlets in quite a bit of skydiving experience and modeling on custom motorcycles for calendars, but beneath the "divatude" is the heart of a romantic poet! ;D
