| CW: How long have you been singing and how did you get started in the first place? I’ve been singing professionally for about 7 years but been singing since about age 9.

R&B, Jazz, Rap, Classical CW: Where is your favorite place to perform? The Trocadero in Philly CW: Which emotion more than any other, currently dominates your music?
