Gracing stages as a back up dancer for many well known artists such as Lil Mama and
LL Cool J while also being in numerous videos, music has always played a big role in her
lifestyle. It wasn't until she started secretly posting Youtube videos of her rapping and
singing that people started to take notice of her natural talent for songwriting and artistry.
Becoming a youtube sensation propelled her into the forefront of many famous artists
and producers willing to lend a hand a work with EVG. "Being a part of the industry
taught/teaches me a lot. You have to have a strong sense of self when being an
artist...ESPECIALLY as a woman! I made a lot of mistakes and created a lot of misconceptions of how I wanted to be portrayed due to the pressures of this industry. Being a
female, you are forced to be a certain size, sell your body first, you know. They seem
more concerned with the lipstick that covers your mouth than what actually comes out
of your mouth. I just want to be respected for the complexities of my mind and the artwork painted by my tongue. I feel I can spar with the best of the MALE rappers out there.
I want to celebrate the beauty of my womanhood in a honorable way and give women
everywhere a voice. A REAL voice. Not one that is actually a male being a ventriloquist
with a female puppet. I want to be able to tell ALL sides of a woman's story. When was
the last time you heard about something other than our sexual organs?"
This indie artist boasts over 1,000,000 video views and fans she calls "rebels" worldwide.
Keeping her music inspiring, positive, raw, and real she is determined to make a dent
and start a revolution...one rebel at a time.
