Bio
I was influenced by Ray Charles, Billie Holiday, and many of the Blues and Rythem & Blues Artists. I listened a lot to Johnny Ace, The Ink Spots, Big Mama Thornton, Big Mabelle, Fats Waller, Earl Gardner and many of the old Gospel stars like Ethel Waters, Mahalia Jackson, The three blind boys and of course, I sang myself in a Gospel Choir.
Having been raised in the South Bronx, I was influenced a great deal by Afro-Cuban Music, Latin and Jazz. I studied dance under Kaatherine Dunham and learned the Ballet, Tap, African, Acrobatics and Jazz.
I studied the piano and had formal training from the age of three.
