I've been listening to her perform at the local market night for years. I made all my friends stop, listen, and drop in cash whenever they visited. I always believed in her and always hoped she would make it. She would sing her HEART OUT to 12-50 people week after week.

She sings at our local Village Fest in Palm Springs every Thursday nite. She always draws a great crowd. The crowd is usually families and older folks so her tone is mostly soft and subdued. Amazing to see her really let her vocals loose here. Kudos.

Her brothers words “My sister is talented” with tears in his eyes and a huge smile…that’s love

[regolf.d]

That family is special. From how humble she was walking in, to how her sister wipes a tear from the mother’s eye and her little brother exclaiming how talented his big sister is…… They were definitely raised right and I hope this girl gets everything she deserves.

Idk why but when her brother said “my sister’s talented man” I got emotional. He was so proud of her. There’s nothing better in this world than getting the support of your family to follow your dreams 🥺❤️
