Jevette grew up singing to the great R&B tunes that dominated the airwaves in the seventies. As a teen she honed her vocal talent through the church choir.

She was nominated in the Dallas Observer 2002 Music Awards along side Erica Badu and N'Dambi. Jevette has played in venues such as Uncle Calvin, Club DaDa, Dallas Hard Rock Cafe, Deep Ellum Live, Gypsy Tea Room, and Ft. Worth's Caravan of Dreams.
