A Memory! This is a throw back picture of a much younger me and my older brother before I began writing songs.  My brother passed away last year of Kidney Cancer of March, 2024.   My inspiration to write my new song, "Hallelujah"  Just Keep Your Heads Up Now, came from God giving me the strength to make it thru all of my grief, sorrows, and pain, losing another love one.  It wasn't easy.    Miss you dearly bug!

MY INSPIRATION IN  WANTING TO BE A SONGWRITER CAME FROM MY MOTHER,  HARRIETT J. FORTE

When my mother was young, she wrote songs as well, and continued to do so, living in Florida.  I dedicated my first song, I wrote to my mother, God Is Love(And So Amazing).  She would have been so proud of me, had she lived to 2021 when it was produced.  She was a minister as well.   She passed away in 2011.   Miss you dearly mom! I know you are up there smiling down on me!

Family Memories

One of my older sister's to your right; in her younger years was an awesome organist.  In this throw back picture, in 70s.  I would practiced on that very same organ.  I use to watched her play, when I was very young.  She was also, my inspiration for loving music as well,  in wanting  to learn how to play the organ better as well. She was a very loving sister.  I miss her  dearly.  She died at a young age of Breast Cancer!

MY STORY

Born in the N.C., now resides in Ohio area, the youngest of all of my siblings;  I grew up loving  music, while attending church. I taught myself to play the organ by ear with basic keys.   Sung in the choir.   My mother wrote songs as well.   Two of my other siblings played the organ and piano as well.  Later in my life embarking on other endeavors thru the years; many years later,  I decided to begin writing poems, and try to write songs.  As it turns out, I didn't realize at the time, that one of my poems would become a song.  

I'm so glad It did!   God Is Love (And So Amazing) 2021, my first song from a poem.   I continued to write my second song in 2022, God Sees Your Heart.   in 2023, My Prayer I'm Abundantly Grateful.   My latest release will be on platforms in the coming weeks, some sooner!  "Hallelujah" Just Keep Your Heads Up Now, 2025.

I love creating Inspirational music that could be place in any genre, such Alternative,  Contemporary , Gospel, Chill, Pop, Jazzy, Christian, unique songs.  If you like hearing music that speaks truth to your soul, you've come to the right website.  

Some of my favorite artist are, and there are so many,  that I enjoy listening to;  no matter what genre;  Hawkins Family, Kirk Franklin, Yolanda Adams, Shirley Caesar, Cee and Bee Winans, Tamela Mann, Rickey Dillard, Patti Labelle, Barry Manilow, Stevie Wonder, Dolly Parton, Billy Porter,  and so many, many other artist and  groups.  

Independent Artist Goals

As an Independent Songwriter, I want to continue to be creative, and  inspire and encourage others with my music, and spread love around the world as long as I live.  If I can touch someone's heart, and soul with my songs, to never give up, keep the faith, to help one another, love one another,  and to put their trust in God, he will work it out!  You are in my prayers! Much love, peace and prosperity to everyone!   New Music has been released!
