She recalls sending two church services every Sundaysince she was a child and singing in the choir, and she explains that shestudies different gospel arts when she trains her voice.

Recently,she has released a hot new single, Gametime. This is a motivational anthem, thatinspires many to get up, push forward, and work hard for what is wanted. In themidst of all this chaos in the world, she released another powerful, upliftingsong called, Rise, this hot song is an inspirational piece that calls forpeople to never give up and rise above all the things that might distract ordeter them from their goals.
