Some house, a bit of soul, a touch of funk and a load of jazz (influence at least). Blend that lot together and the result is something a little bit different, laid back and refreshing. Every other Wednesday afternoon (14:00-16:00 gmt) on SS Radio Deep and Soulful.
Absolutely LOVING the tunes sis!! I've been floating on Strange Attraction all week... your voice is amazing...i can hear your spirit in each note, each breath:-)

Thanks for your correspondence. I see u think of me as poetic. I guess hangin around the House scene has its "perks". In any case thank u for your add. Keep up the good work. U are a true Black vocalist, something that is missing in U.S. radio stations, unless its WBAI in NYC with Jeannie Hooper of the Liquid Sound Lounge or underground college radio stations like in the West Coasts.
