A bassist and singer who blends jazz, soul, and hip-hop into something entirely her own.
For a quick sense of her, try 'Andromeda & The Milky Way' or 'Bitter.' They're both from that later period, and they hold that same quiet, searching quality.
She came up in D.C. and Boston in the early '90s, pulling from her father's jazz guitar and her mother's gospel records. That mix shows up in songs like 'Andromeda & The Milky Way' and 'Bitter,' where the bass lines feel conversational and the vocals never quite settle. It's a sound that's hard to pin down, which is the point.
Her debut 'Plantation Lullabies' arrived in 1993 with 'Daddy's Girl.' Later albums like 'Peace Beyond Passion' and 'Bitter' followed, and she kept recording after a multiple sclerosis diagnosis in 2008, often with a steady band including Chris Bruce and Kevin Kendrick.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
