About me
Fearless On Stage – a dramatic mezzo-soprano with a range from B2 to E6 – I aim to change lives through live music performance. Possessing raw talent and a superior musical ear, my self-education coupled with classical training renders my vocal agility to belt soulfully and soar operatically. Further, by dancing with a poly-rhythmic fierceness, acting with compelling presence, writing with creative and comedic flair and directing with conviction, I conjure the spirit of each role, creating a SHOW with the audacity to be seen, heard and experienced.Additional skills:
I sing in 10 languages including Bamana (Mali), Deutsch (German), French, Xhosa and Zulu. I specialize in jazz band leading, improvisation and scat. I also have an aptitude for event / gig management and stage direction.
