My experience with the creative force is that when it takes hold, it's all consuming; and discovering your craft requires the kind of determination that must allow for years of practice before perfect—and it's never perfect. The beauty of any genesis is that it's flawed, making every creative endeavor a natural obsession with "playing the mistakes” and revealing your truer self. The goal is to find your own voice. 

As a self-producing artist in New York City whose body of work spans theater, dance and music, the epiphany came when I realized that every project since the beginning was rooted in jazz. Grateful for my achievements as an "expert director-choreographer" (The New Yorker), and "joyous, jazz-inflected dancing both crisp and sensual" (The Chicago Reader), it is my lifelong passion for music that is manifest in my awakening as a vocalist, composer and bandleader.
