HERE'S A LITTLE ABOUT ME AND MY VOICE OVER EXPERIENCE
I started out as a recording artist back in 1990 the record label dropped my group and I then started working in radio as a traffic reporter with Westwood One Broadcasting. That led to a midday gig in Sacramento on 103.3 The Bomb, then I went to do a Morning show in Stockton and Modeston at 97.7 KWIN after that I came to Los Angeles worked with Steve Harvey in his morning show on 100.3 the beat. I also did some time in New York at Hot 97 at that point I was just done with the politics of radio so I joined a company called Voice Over LA and began my voice over career.

My Story
My First Dream was Music. When I was 8 years old I knew that all I wanted to do was sing. I actually accomplished my goal and took it pretty far. My sisters and I had a singing group by the name T'res, in 1988 we were signed to a record lable,(Priority Records) we recorded an album titled "Hold on To Your Dreams" I never knew how much that title would apply to my life. We appeared on Video Soul our single "Let Me Feel Your Body" made it to 40 on the Billboard charts. We recorded a song on NWA "100 Miles and Runin" Album. I sang on Rico Suave's album too. This experience was one I will never forget it was a huge accomplishment for me and allowed me to see early on in my life that I can make my dreams come true.
