As the recipient for “Best R&B Female Artist” in 2006 at the Underground Music Awards hosted at B.B. Kings New York City, she wowed the audience. It wasn’t just because of her hot performance, but also because of her professionalism as an artist. After doing enough performances at venues and shows like MSG TV to make any A&R blush, she’s learned a lot about the music business and the expectations placed on her as a diva in training.
