English teacher, was the catalyst that brought the fusion. She began her musical career at
the age of ten when she won first prize at a countywide choral competition in South
Georgia. Throughout the years, other singing awards followed, making her aware of the
power of her gift. She had always wanted to perform with a band, but the responsibilities of career and family prevented the fulfillment of her dream. |
