Son énergie, son incroyable charisme et sa voix exceptionnelle (elle a été membre du Harlem Gospel Choir et chanteuse lead de l’Anthony Morgan Choir), tout comme l’excellence de ses accompagnateurs, ont rapidement fait d’elle une des attractions scéniques les plus demandées dans les festivals Soul/Blues Jazz d’Italie et sa carrière l’amène aussi dans d’autres pays européens.
