As a vocalist, television personality, and custom wig creator when did you first want to become apart of the entertainment industry?

I honestly think I was born to entertain or “inspire” through the arts, however it was at the age of 6 when my mom realized my talent and begin to encourage me to develop it.

I absolutely love, love, love music. A few of the more prominent artist that inspire me are the late Mahalia Jackson, the incomparable Whitney Houston, Brandy, Luther Vandross, India.Arie, Chaka Khan and Stacy Barthe.

How did you began the craft of creating custom wigs for women?

I’ve always had a passion for haircare so I started on myself. As a result of the countless comments from women (both good and bad) and request, I begin to start doing custom wigs.
