Background
Summary
I am extemely ambitious and a go-getter…I am resilient and very good with people on so many levels. I listen not just hear to what others say to me. I am humble yet confident and have lots of energy and I smile a whole lot. I have a desire and always have to touch the hearts of my audience and always have them feel every word I sing as it’s coming from the heart. I give my all to the audience and make sure I am attentive to their applause and very appreciative. I have a great since of humor and know how to get a crowds undivided attention and keep it. I’m very good-hearted and aso have a very energetic personality. I’m real and not pretentious in any way. I’m just myself. I have lots of class, and am very articulate and educated. I’m very down to earth as well. I am very caring to the bands ideas and their needs and wants on how they’d like to try a certain style to a song I may do in a totally different way. I am working on a new album with my own original music right now. It’s coming along really well.
As far as my modeling career goes, I’m always looking for new jobs and am with one agency just as of yet and am looking to get with another one that will get me out there… not just in California but Nationally.
Specialties:Singing and modeling… I also play piano, guitar and drums very well. I am also very good at engineering in my studio using my Pro-tools. I’m also an expert at harmony! I also write. I love to be in front of the camera and am a natural.

I was born singing with my 3 older sisters singing gospel in 4 part harmoney…I have a lot of gospel sounding soul in my voice and I know from growing up in a half balck and half white church, that’s what made our choir and us 4 Jeter girls so soulful and so into the music because we always sang from deep insifde our hearts. I sing with a big band on Sundays and at a Restuaunt Lounge on Tuesdays….Looking for better work…More pay and better spots. I am use to singing at the best 5 star hotels and restuarants. Looking to get back into that again. Was out of the loop singing because of the death of my mother…I had to grieve for a while and now I’m ready to sing just like I use to. ALL THE TIME. So, if you are looking for a great singer that will garauntee you a following always after the first gig look no further. I am good with a crowd always have been. It’s important to go up and greet and talk to the audience indivuidula tables of people at a time between sets. That’s how I get them to always come back. Plus they love to hear and watch me sing and perform with a TOP OF THE HEAP Band!!! I am an original all the way…You’ll see.
