Since I missed her showcase in LA recently, I’m pleased that Okayplayer TV was there to capture it… Below is a series of videos they took at the event including live performance, interview footage and also her thoughts on Erykah Badu’s public cosigning of her talent on the OkayPlayer forum.
Still a bit queasy about Puddy (Puffy+Diddy) signing her, but hopefully it’ll be all good and bring her the shine she deserves.
