The multi talented 23 year old of South American and Jamaican descent, has already worked as a dancer for artists such as Will.i.am, Robbie Williams, LL Cool J and Snoop Dog, touring with them and performing at various award shows.

As a child she received a great musical education from her mother’s friends, introducing her to artists like A Tribe Called Quest, Public Enemy, Beastie Boys and particularly Old School Hip Hop.   She cites all those old school acts as an influence on her music, keeping a distinctly urban sound that she combines effectively with original electronic rhythms. This combination of sounds is clearly visible in ‘Shock Absorber’, a quintessential party stomper peppered with influences from flamboyant artists with personality like Grace Jones, Bjork, Radiohead, Prince and David Bowie.
