SINGER
One of the primary gifts given to me by God is my singing voice. It has a deep, rich contralto tone which evokes emotion well. I have learned a great deal over the years by just listening to God, who has led me in how to use it. As I see it, I did not create my voice, God did. For that reason, I feel fortunate to honor that gift by listening to Him in how to treat it well and grow in knowledge about it. All that I have learned about vocal inflection, placement of sound, dynamics and breathing have come from listening within myself to God's direction.
Because I am also a songwriter, the process of connecting with the audience is very important to me. Delivering the words and the emotion of the song are of incredible value. I have enjoyed reaching into the lyrics of a song and drawing out their richness. When I perform, I connect to the heart of my audience and then speak the message of the words using my body, my eyes, vocal inflections, and dynamics all following the flow of the music. It is a very creative and interactive process through which the audience is engaged in the substance of the song.
I feel I am honoring the generosity of God when I use my voice in this way, whether I am performing Jazz, Pop, R&B or Gospel, but of course the message of Gospel is closest to my heart.

SONGWRITER
I am also a songwriter/lyricist having composed lyrics and melody for my own CD, Where Innocence Can Live, which was arranged and orchestrated by my husband, Brett Mitchell. I have also written lyrics for other tunesmiths and enjoy the art of collaboration greatly. The opportunity to be provided a melody and at times a lyric concept and to honor those with the phrasing of the lyric is truly a pleasure. You can hear my original songs or those to which I have designed the lyric at my gigs. You can purchase all of my and my husband's CD's on our music website.
