Music is a universal language, it transcends people’s culture and brings them together. With music you are able to communicate what you can’t otherwise say, by expressing different feelings and emotion. With music you get a fresh look on life, going beyond service level interaction to form a deep level connection with an audience.

How did you first get into music?

It sounds like a cliche, but I have always loved to sing. As a little girl I was always singing, and this is something that I have passed onto my own daughter too. My professional journey started when I was a choir director many years ago. At around age 18 I was part of a community choir, from here I continued to explore my relationship with music and share it more and more with those around me. 

What inspires your music and what do you hope people take from it?

I am most inspired by my relationship with God. The ability and worship and appreciate my faith in a way that shows me something bigger than myself. I hope that those listening also feel the connection of musical expression and our drawn to explore their own relationship with God. I hope they can find the courage to understand the power of why God loves them and the enlightenment to see that theres a God who truly cares for us.

What new music is coming next? 

My music is generally mixed in genre, and focussed more on the expression and communication that it provides. My new music will sit more into the gospel sound and is something I am developing and singing with real passion.
