Talented October, 2012 | Page 14

We read that you performed with well-known music legends such as Frankie

Beverley, Maze, and BabyFace last November at the sold out One World

Tour in Mississippi. Talented wants to know how was it? Did you get

Goosebumps sharing the stage with legends? Did they give you any words of

wisdom?

Oh it was very exciting for me. It was a great turn out. It also was my biggest

performance at that time, and I was the only Female on the ticket ! Yes I did

get goose bumps sharing the stage with such legendary talent with so many

successes. I have to say It was quite refreshing too see Babyface s dressing

musical life. I did meet Frankie Beverly backstage & he said to me that it was

nice to see a young artist staying True to R&B Music. That definitely made me

feel good knowing thats exactly what I would have wanted him to say.

get the inspiration to write so many dynamic, heart filled songs such as “bcuz

ur lonely” and “Fight 4 ur life” both if Im not mistaken are from your new

album “Substance”?

Yes they both are, and Thank you. Im happy to hear the way you describe

my Music. I get the inspiration from my personal life experiences especially

“Fight 4 Ur Life”. Its important for me to share my story on track #1 of my

Albums so I can inspire others. I also get inspiration from women including

myself. I feel very strongly about empowering women in love & life, and I

make sure that comes across in my Music. Other peoples experiences also

inspire me. I tend to be able to put myself in other peoples shoes and feel

what theyre feeling. Im not sure how or why & sometimes I dont want to
