Her need to accompany those lyrics lead to playing keyboard, trumpet, acoustic, electric and bass guitar, tenor sax, and fiddle. Following in the footsteps of her singer/poet mother. she got a taste of amazing soul creators, The Funk Brothers and as she grew, so did her passion to create her own soulful sound.
