How did you get your start? Paul Mac actually started it all for me. I was just a jazz student at the Con and I got a call from his management saying he wanted me on his album. I was such a terribly shy teenager then and he taught me how to fuzz my feathers and swagger in front of people while pushing me beyond my limits as a vocalist. Years later, I’m all grown up and he’s now producing my second album Blastoma.
