said that they liked the song and the vibe. So they flew us up there and I sand
a song for them called ‘Dade
County.’ They were
feeling it and they said they just wanted the R&B singer, so that was a big
break for me. They set up for me to go on 106 & Park two weeks later and I
performed on Wild Out Wednesday and I won.
