Back-story: I moved to NYC in 2002 on a whim with no money, no where to live, a CD and a lot of nerve. Anthony Hamilton found me singing in a Philadelphia nite club the weekend of the unplanned move. We recorded "I'm a Mess" in July of 2002 before he landed the So So Def deal. That song ended up being the 3rd single off of his Grammy Nominated Album Coming From Where I'm From. In 2003 I won the Abe Oleman Award for Excellence in Songwriting from the Songwriter's Hall of Fame and BMI. I'm now the President/CEO/Owner/Boss of Sorority Records, LLC. I DO IT BIG BABY!

May they all rest in peace.)
