A friend once said to me, “If you talk to a person long enough, everyone has an interesting story to tell.” In Chicago in 2025 I released the double album, “No One Wants You (You’ve Slept With Too Many Men).” It’s about my romantic and sexual life. I hope you find it by turns joyful, defiant, funny and dark but, ultimately, beautiful, because despite the fact that I endured chronic sexual abuse as a girl, that’s how I see the world.

I can’t help but think that reading Yiddish folk tales – with their economy, poetry and humor –  has made me a better lyricist, and that my numerous lovers have been a healing, ethereal gift.

Grammy winner Rollin Weary recorded, mixed, mastered and co-produced the album with co-producer Fareed Haque who has played guitar with Sting, been a Blue Note recording artist and led numerous jazz and classical groups.

I’ve put together a touring band which includes guitarist Haque, explosive drummer Greg Fundis (56 Hope Road), C Mikhail, a promising young bassist who also performs in several Middle-Eastern groups and Regina Doss Rhymes, a powerhouse backup singer who grew up singing in Chicago’s South Side churches.
