Indie Soul Mixer 2013 a huge success!

I had such an incredible experience at the Indie Soul Mixer @ DROM last night (April 13th).  There were so many incredibly talented artists and wonderful music.  It really made me proud to be a soul singer.  I appreciate the creators of the showcase, Mike Ashley and Dexter Myers for keeping soul music alive.  This is an annual event and I was so honored to open the show.  I still haven't come down from the my elation of the evening.

Here's my performance of, "The Freedom Song," to open the show:



Enjoy,

Happy Spring! I hope you’re enjoying this warmer weather.  I love the pleasant temperatures and spring flowers. It’s a time for new beginnings.

I have a few performance appearances coming up that I’d like to invite you to this month:

What are you doing this weekend?  I will perform in one of the hottest artist showcases in NYC at DROM on Saturday night, April 13th. The most established event in the Indie Soul Calendar returns to New York for Number 8 at the NY premier night club DROM. I am one of the many featured performers of the evening.
