I could look everywhere and never find anyone else there Who's greater than you are? You're the reason I've come so far The love of the one greater than anything I've ever seen or done The way you care for me let's me know There's no greater love than the one

about

The Girl from Nowhere...

It took 3 years to make this album. It took that long not because I had nothing to say, but because I had to fund this album with a music teacher's salary.

The Girl from Nowhere....

It started as a title inspired by the movie, Girl Interrupted. The title evolved when I thought about how I felt different throughout my life and when I decided to embrace my uniqueness. Picture it - A girl used to being around diversity gets thrown into a zone where everything is homogenized. Air Force brat! Then, I starting thinking about where I came from and how we sometimes struggle to find our purpose and place in this world. Nerdy tomboy was me! I still don't know all the reasons I was put on this Earth, but I know that music is a part of it. Musically, this album is a reflection of my ears and heart. Hip-hop, samba, classical, Go-Go, R&B, pop, rock, gospel, jazz, acapella - it's all woven into this album. I pretty much dig every genre but death metal! No offense to you, if that's your thing.....

I get song ideas from my own experiences, t.v./movies, people watching, cooking, books, washing clothes - yes, exciting, right?

There's...

- the guy (not a size 2 himself) who told me I was the biggest girl he ever dated...

- The robots I see at work who constantly complain but don't really try to change their situation....

- My disgust for the way women treat each other on "reality" shows

- My anthem for work zombies who want out

and so many other songs that I wrote to strengthen, heal and motivate myself and others.

I collaborated with some great artists and producers on this album - Deborah Bond, Frank Javois, AB The Pro, Kenny Wesley, Ama Live!, Robert "Snúhgie" Stocks, Antagonist, Barrington "Barry" Talbert, Ahmed Sirour, JIm B., Jamal Cherry, Anton Genius, Frank Javois and Melyon.

Oh, and some girl named Teisha Marie produced a few songs too.

This album is dedicated to Abbey Lincoln (1930-2010), Marlon Riggs (1957-1994), and my friend/fellow musician Derrick “D. Marq” Smith (1979-2012) . They did not ASK for permission to be , they just were and were life-changers for many people.

There's strength in our differences. If you feel alone, know that you're not.

It's been a beautiful experience making this music.
