Details:
I was born in Detroit Michigan December of 1958 the 4th of four children to Eugene (a jazz/scat singer) and Katherine (a dancer) Whitfield. The influence of Jazz and Motown molded me into the artist I am today. I began at the age of 7 in my grade school talent shows and musicals and continued through high school. I started my professional career after high school performing live at the local clubs all over Michigan and added a little studio work throughout. Once I moved to Atlanta, GA. in 1986, I continued live performances throughout the Metro Atlanta Area.

My writing began some years ago, however the subject matter of my songs never seemed quite right along with the avenue of which to send them out. I've committed myself to Jesus Christ and from that moment on, my song writing has blossomed into what it is today. I write from my heart, from the word and from the spirit. And I will continue to serve My Lord God with everything that I am in order to spread His message and His love throughout the world.

My mission, as is the mission of all of His children is to see to it that everyone knows of Him and with that knowledge, is able to make the choice which we all must make. To Love God with all of your heart, soul, mind and spirit; to Love Jesus as your Lord, Savior and King; and to love each of your brothers and sisters on this earth. Or, to choose not to do any of these things. My dream and hope, is that through my music, I will at least convince You to follow Him.

My major influences have been (vocalist): Sarah Vaughan, Ella Fitzgerald, (song writers): Stevie Wonder, Burt Bacharach, Kenny Loggins, James Taylor, and Jule Styne to name only a few.
