R&B SONG:
Love You More
Love You More is a soulful and melodic confession—the moment love finds you unexpectedly, beautifully, and in a way that changes everything. It’s about letting down your guard, trusting again, and experiencing a love you never thought possible.
This heartfelt R&B tune is birthed from wisdom passed down from my mother, encouragement from my father, and the gratitude I feel for the love that helped me smile again. Every lyric tells a story: guarded hearts, hesitation, joy, and the ultimate decision to embrace love fully.
This song is for anyone who’s ever doubted love—only to find someone who makes you believe again.

AMERICAN ROOTS SONG:
Loved At Christmas Time (Go-Go Version)
This go-go version of my R&B single Loved At Christmas Time is a tribute to the go-go music and culture that shaped me growing up in the D.C. area. Performing in local go-go bands nurtured my love for the stage, influenced my artistry, and helped define my signature sound. This project is my heartfelt way of honoring the culture that raised me and celebrating the powerful impact go-go has made on the world of music.
Loved At Christmas Time (Go-Go Version) is more than a holiday track filled with percussion and signature rhythms—it’s also a reminder that the greatest gift will always be love. Inspired by my mother, Ms. Geraldine Key, who filled our home with holiday music, I wanted to create an upbeat, feel-good song she could dance to.
