Artist History A Chicago native, Echelon has really taken the city by storm! From humble beginnings in the city's Garfield Park area, Echelon graduated with honors from the prestigious Providence - St. Mel High School. Even then she was a real go-getter, effortlessly balancing academics with a multitude of extracurricular activities. She's always had a bubbling personality. And as Vice President of her senior class, it certainly showed! At the University of Notre Dame, she was a proud member of the school's Voices of Faith Gospel Ensemble. The troupe traveled all across the state of Indiana spreading the good news! It was then that she began to develop her crafts. While earning her Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration, majoring in Marketing, she also performed in the theater group "Black Images." Echelon was an actress, singer, dancer and writer with the company! Those early days of performing whet her appetite to become the compelling entertainer that she is today. She's been a busy lady ever since! Echelon says: "Music for me has always been a creative and spiritual outlet. Whether I'm singing Sister Sledge's "We Are Family" during the holidays or grooving to Tamia's love song "So Into You," I'm amazed at how the lyrics speak to your heart. When you think no one in the world could possibly know how you feel, a song comes on the radio and sums up your entire life! I hope my music will do that for listeners. I want them to know "you are not alone." The music tells about the joys, and pains, of my experiences. God has blessed me with the gift of song that I am privileged to share with others. I am truly grateful for the opportunity. You will not hear me sing about "you treated me wrong and now I can go on because she stabbed in your back and you deserved that." No way. Sure I want my music to entertain, but I also create it to remind me that life is a gift from the creator. I know that the trials and tribulations may come but the blessings are just around the corner! And you know, I can't wait to see what happens next!"
