Artist History I started recording my own stuff after years of asking others to see my vision when and how I saw it-it wasn't working! Although I had some really interesting creative experiences during this time I was writing constantly and could never record them fast enough. So I got into hard disk recording at home. This is where I do 99% of my music. I work alone, with the help of a musician here and there, and ALOT of tech and moral support!! I would encourage anyone to do the same - be self sufficient, and let your creativity take you where it will without asking...."Hey, can I record at your place tonight?"n

On one song, the first track, "Keepin' It Down," she sounds like AnitaBak er backed by either Maxwell's or Sade's band.

This is animpressive document of her taste and maturity as an artist.A
