Celebrating 45 Years of Musical Excellence |
|
Celebrating 45 years on stage, I've toured globally with my bands, now mainly
offering a vibrant mix of jazz, funk, hip-hop, pop, Latin, world, and dance music.
Last year, I was honored in the Netherlands as the most touring female artist of 2022. Reflecting on the countries I've performed in brings back fond memories and the wonderful people I've met.

If you have any photos, videos, or even secret bootleg recordings, please share them with me to enrich this collection.
