I Grew Up In A Home Filled With Music And Had An Early Appreciation Of Jazz Since My Dad Was A Jazz Musician. Beginning At Around Age Three I Started Singing With His Band And Jazz Music Has Continued To Be One Of My Three Passions Along With Acting And Writing.

I Don't Have Control Over How People Choose To Perceive Me. The Only Thing I Have Control Over Is My Writing.

I Wish I Had Been More Prepared, Both For Success And For Failure, When I Was Younger.
