I entered into the music industry literally by accident, without any experience or knowledge, I started to put on events following a road traffic collision on the M1 Motorway that had a huge impact in my life in 2009.
I had to leave my job as a team leader in 2010 because of the effects of this near-death collision. I went through a state of depression and I isolated myself, not knowing why I felt the way I did. In 2012, I was diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder as a direct result from the road traffic accident, and this is where my music journey began.
In 2015 Britain’s Got Reggae a UK reggae competition was born, this was not planned, it was meant to be a one-off showcase, I came up with the name, and I was inundated with artists that wanted to be part of it. We chose six artists geographically, delivered it under City Link-Up, it was a huge success, I was asked to run more shows and I decided to turn it into a competition.
Winners of the competition performed at Rototom Sunsplash in Benècassim in Spain in front of up to 20,000 people and opened up for many big shows including arena selling artists Chronixx & Grammy Award winner Koffee.
I have had the following recognition for the work I have done in music such as:
2015 Inspirational Women's Award
2016 AAA Success Award
2018 Trailblazer Award International Reggae Day
2021 Blac Award & Royal Airforce for Best Online TV
2021 BA Honours Degree in Music Business
2022 The Women's Award for National Open Outstanding Woman In Arts, Media & Music

I am a female entrepreneur with my fingers in a few pies and most recently, I have become a brand-new author with my Introductory Chapter about my life called Trials & Tribulations in Jan 2023. This was in collaboration with fellow colleagues and business partners of Golden Child Promotions Publishing of which I am a director. I will soon be releasing my poem book Trials & Revelations a very descriptive and truthful events that I have experienced, some of which is on child abuse and rape, a subject that is not really spoken about.
I love to inspire others in all I do, I’m very passionate and wear my heart on my sleeve and give 100% in all I do.
