the Caribbean sexiness of
Rhianna, the powerful voice of

musical style of Madonna, in a
fresh and totally unique way.

of Dominica but raised to the
urban and pop beat of the United

her works. She has also been
very involved in the
arrangements of each of her
songs. She has completed a
multitude of songs in a wide

“There is a feeling that emerges
in each one of us that causes us
to behave in a particular way.
That emotion is so deep rooted
that we accomplish tasks which
we wouldn't normally do or in
some circumstances cannot
normally do. When I sing that
emotion is realized and fed. The
music that I write is a direct
result of a spontaneous feeling
derived from a situation, or an
era in time that I am focused
on. I sing to feed that emotion,
whether it is happiness,
sadness, anger or moodiness. I
use my power of song to create
awareness and empathy...” --

performance is a natural
extension of the sound of my
music." --
