You can expect to be inspired, entertained and hear praises of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. You would get a saved Christian performer who is a living testimony. I understand how great the struggle can be to make the right choices, stay on the right path, say no when you know something will take you a long way off track, and will not be judgmental to the audience, because truly when I judge another, I am also judging myself. Matthew 7:1 I will perform as a solo artists for low budget bookings and with background vocalists/performers for bookings starting at $100. The larger the budget, the more theatrics and background performers added into my show.
Actress, Model, Singer, Dancer, and Writer. Bachelor of Fine Arts in Theater for Acting. Produced shows for stage and television, including gospel plays, television commercials, commercial jingles, movies, a magazine, marketing ads, songwriting and scriptwriting.
My performance versions of my songs are available on CD. They can also be provided in another electronic format (i.e. flash drive or cell phone auxillary). I prefer a body mic with a headset, however can perform with a handheld microphone and a mic stand. I would need access to the performance area and require a mic check prior to the actual performance. The mic check should occur, prior to the house being open to the audience.
