Parent Groove class at @hollywoodvibe Norfolk delivering ALL the 90s sass today!

Thank you @sorahyang for your effervescence and for dancing with us mamas. 😎

Mi mamá loves the Carpenters, so they were a must-have when I included these 2 songs in my Sugar & Sazón cabaret - celebrating the most influential women in Latin music that shaped my life and art.

We premiered this a year ago on my berfday, and I’m still experiencing the ripples from this labor of love.

Here’s to celebrating 46 trips around the sun today, and taking one day - more like one moment - at a time.

🎶 Beautiful vocals by @eimajayhawk & @mayaonfiyaaa
🎥 Captured by @themvpcollective
☕️ Performed at @persnicketycranecafe

Don’t let “versatility” become a crutch.

Sometimes my voice feels like a cat who’s lived 9 or 10 lives with all of the different genres I’ve performed. And all of them served their purpose in those specific seasons.

Getting laser detailed has actually opened up doors for me and helped me exercise WHAT I want to do on stage WHEN I sing. It’s also helped me easily walk away or say “no” to things that don’t serve me right now as a performing vocalist.

If this is something you want to refine, my Slay The Stage course helps you ask the right questions that’ll help you:

1. Get focused with which stages you want to sing on right now, and

2. HOW you want to show up when you do! 🎤

Gotta love a nostalgic trend 😎

I keep reading quotes that say something like, “midlife is becoming who you were as a teenager, but loving her this time.”

Now, I’m watching my teen daughters live out that kind of self-love. What a dream come true. 💕

One of my new faves! 🍇

This Diana Krall song also proves that “powerful” singing isn’t about volume. It’s ALL about intention - and I knew for certain that I wanted the audience to have fun, lean in, and feel like they were about to watch a Fosse number.

Shoutout to the amazing @tidewater_winds & @theztheater from this year’s Holidivas Cabaret: Valentine’s Edition.

And I will forever sing this song with @robyn__elle shouting “peel ME a grape, HONEY!” in my head. 😆

If sounding [expensive] means:

Sounding [like you know what you’re doing]

Sounding [like you’ve spent years honing your craft and continue to do so]

Sounding [like you love what you do]

Then yes, honey - I’m all of the above. 💅🏼

This comment was said with concern from a potential event booker, but I took it as a compliment. Because they need the best “deal” to book a professional singer, but they just witnessed the joy-filled experience that the audience and I shared.

Which begs the reminder for booking agents, event coordinators, and concert organizers - you aren’t just paying for 3 hours worth of live music - you’re investing in an unforgettable experience for your patrons, who will be your best marketing for future events.

“Something” en español

Love practicing some ease and softness, and also love Ana Gabriel’s version of this Beatles classic. The touch of rasp in her voice will make your heart ache in the best possible way. 🥀

Just missing @reallucasbehelviolin_ violin on this one!

Have a spiced up cover that you love in another language??

We love a before and after don’t we?

PRACTICE: The 2nd music rehearsal with our music director and accompanist. Still working out belting support, vowel adjustments, and a bit of tongue tension.

PERFORMANCE: 2 weeks later after continued refinement. Killer band & sound mix. Plus a gorgeous Gatsby-esque gown and a beautiful audience.

I get to debut this beautiful project at @artsconnectva Party of the Ages on March 17! Tickets are available on their website.

If you’ve been curious about what this organization does to enrich the lives of our older adults in Hamptom Roads through the power of arts engagement, this would be a great evening to get a taste and see how you can get involved.

Other ways to preserve your vocal energy:

• Pay attention to how loud and how often you’re using your voice throughout the day

• Any foods giving you indigestion or acid reflux? Save those for later

• How much sleep are you getting?

Happy singing & break legs!

SO done with wanting to do everything, all the time. Plus saying “no” or “not right now” is super sexy. 💅🏼

What’s getting your “hell yes!” right now?

“If I’m gonna love you, it’s for sure I’m gonna love you all the way…”

It was an honor and JOY to be a part of Holidivas: Valentine’s Edition at @theztheater in partnership with the @tidewater_winds!

A special “gracias” to:

@lizbrydgemusic for your guidance and celebration of what I could offer as one of your singers this year! Thrilled to now be a part of the Holidivas tradition, and even more happy that we were able to work together again.

John Brewington for your encouragement and leadership as our music director and maestro. Singing with you and the band felt like I was soaring.

@dancing_reef for allowing us to play with your “coralography.” I had so much fun!

My brilliant costars and vocalists, @robyn__elle , @lovingsongstress85 , and @thekobae - here’s to making vocal magic, and I can only hope and pray we get to do it again soon. ✨

All my sweet friends who came, posted, yelled, applauded, and allowed us to serenade you! I hope we infused your weekend with some light, love, and laughter - all powerful antidotes to these crazy times.

This has been such a sweet season at The Z theatre. I’ve made new friends and expanded my artistic circle in profound ways. I look forward to being back on stage for the @artsconnectva Party of the Ages on March 17!

So so grateful.

I LOVE working with and performing along side trained dancers!

You know your body SO well - and because of this, you pay close attention to how singing and performing FEEL.

But it can also be confusing, right? Going “full out” in your singing is more about stamina and sustainability. The physical engagement is different - in fact, we’re aiming for “less is more” with your voice.

Learning to trust this takes time. Give yourself grace and follow through the process with your voice professional.

And then, be a cheerleader for the “singers who move” when we need a gentle (and sometimes not so gentle) shove in the right (stage) direction. 😉

A sitzprobe with some “sazón” 💃🏻

Working under the direction of @lizbrydgemusic with Maestro John Brewington of @tidewater_winds is so much fun, and truly fulfilling. They celebrate what makes each artist unique and ask us to put it on full display. So, naturally, I felt right at home - como en mi casa. 💅🏼

Remember that feeling in choir when you KNOW y’all sounded awesome, were so in sync, and it felt great to make music with your friends?

Except this time, there’s no auditions. No solos. No pressure.

Just a room full of music-loving adults tapping into their joy, playing with their voices, and having a great time!

That’s the heart of our Sip & Sing pop-up POP choir experiences.

Comment SIP below to get on our mailing list and get first dibs on our next event.

Of all the inhumane things we’re witnessing in our day and age, I refuse to let anyone strip me of what makes me human - my voice being one of them.

So, fellow music-lover, come sing with me and let’s celebrate LOVE in all of its forms.

Each week I share a performance prompt inside our Passionate Performer membership community. This week, we sang songs that inspire unity.

It’s not lost on me that these lyrics from my bluesy take of Hairspray’s “You Can’t Stop The Beat” can come across overly optimistic in the state of our country right now. It seems like history is, in fact, repeating itself.

But I believe that it’s the artists that provide almost a prophetic voice in these times - speaking truth of what is and what we hope for. 🙏🏼

And it’s that hope that inspires action - action that stands up against injustice.

“Hoy te dedico mis mejores pregones…” - Héctor Lavoe

I woke up this morning with so much gratitude getting to sing with @latinjazzconspiracy at @winterbluesjazzfest. The William & Mary Alumni House is a gorgeous venue and @culturefixva did a fantastic job at creating the perfect vibes for their Mixology & Music night to kick off the festivities.

🇵🇷 Your girl felt right at home singing these legendary songs - and performing my original, “Como Café,” the way I always imagined it - 😘🤌🏼. This group of brilliant musicians makes singing feel like a kid on a playground.

We ALL needed a night where we could get swept away by the music and let our voices (and feet) follow suit.

What a way to kick off my 2026 performance season! 🪩

(And thank you my love @cartwrightcreative for always capturing the best moments)

Thanks to Eric Musselwhite for creating the band charts for my song, “Como Café.” I can’t WAIT to rock this with @latinjazzconspiracy at @winterbluesjazzfest this Friday. 💃🏻☕️

What’s something that “fell through” for you as a performing artist that turned out to be a blessing in disguise?

I think the biggest challenge with declaring big New Year’s resolutions is creating a false sense of already feeling behind or having right to RUSH into another song, audition, project, etc.

Sure, make your goals and vision boards, but also, just be here right now. It doesn’t have to feel like a big giant leap towards whatever the next thing is. All of the practice and prep you did in December didn’t go anywhere.

You aren’t behind. So what do you want to sing today?

Thanks to @veggiesandchocolate for the reel inspo.

This time last year I journaled,

“I want to tell stories that move and inspire my audience, creating moments of celebration and joy. I want to perform my cabaret more than once and also release my first single.”

I ticked off 2 out of those 3 things, but also gained SO many other opportunities that I didn’t forecast - including 2 songwriting showcases, a modeling/commercial gig, an original play, and a chance to invite music-loving adults in my neighborhood to make new friends through the gift of spontaneous singing.

And now, 2026 is opening with music moments that are undeniably ME. 💃🏻

One social media post isn’t enough to also show you all of the stumbles or “failures” you don’t see that accompany these happy moments. Summer was very quiet. I had to take care of some health issues, and recover from the mental, physical, and emotional load of being my own show creator, producer, arranger, box office manager, stylist, music director, etc. - all while still running my own business and serving my coaching community with excellence.

But just know dear passionate performer - every single moment makes way for the next. I believe that with all my heart. I’ve experienced it in my life, and witnessed it in the lives of the artists I have the honor of working with.

I hope you move into this next season however you need to be - whether it’s with enthusiasm, with gentleness, or taking a grand pause from it all.

I’ll be moving with purpose and playfulness.

Cheering you on! ✨

Finishing up the last gig of 2025 🎤

I’ve had a blast this December with @757artsoutreach doing a “Holiday Movie Sing-Along” program for various communities here on the peninsula. We sang from White Christmas, Charlie Brown, Elf, Rudolph, Christmas Vacation, Meet Me in St. Louis, and many more!

Now it’s time to slow down, watch some of these with my kiddos while they’re on break, and actually follow this slower-paced rhythm that winter’s inviting us to embrace.

Wishing you a wonderful run as you finish out your holiday concerts/shows of the season, dear singer.🎶

¡Feliz Navidad y próspero año nuevo!

The goal isn’t to feel completely calm on stage or to feel nothing at all - it’s to know that you can be fully present, pivot if needed, and that you can get up there and do it again (and again).

This takes just as much practice (if not more) as you rehearsing your music and singing scales. Be patient. Be consistent. You’re creating muscle memory to do the hard thing - something most people wouldn’t even attempt in their lifetime.

If you this is something you want to start practicing, feel free to reach out.

You’re meant to feel like yourself when you sing. 🎤

The goal isn’t to feel completely calm on stage or to feel nothing at all - it’s to know that you can be fully present, pivot if needed, and that you can get up there and do it again (and again).

This takes just as much practice (if not more) as you rehearsing your music and singing scales. Be patient. Be consistent. You’re creating muscle memory to do the hard thing - something most people wouldn’t even attempt in their lifetime.

Who in the next season gets to access YOUR voice, music, art, and/or expertise?

Whoever it is, they’re in for a treat because they get to create and collaborate with YOU. ✨

It’s not the Joni cover everyone typically sings during this season, but oddly (or not so odd, actually) I’ve really resonated with this one on a spiritual level this year.

I have more peace now in my thoughtful questions than I ever did in my staunch better-than-thou certainty.

Preach, Ms. Mitchell.

This one’s for all the moms taking all of the good pics. Hand the phone over to your kiddos and make them take a few of you! ✨

I’m in the final days of coaching sessions for the year with our fabulous Passionate Performer members, wrapping up presents AND holiday gigs with @757artsoutreach & rehearsing for the Winter Jazz & Blues Fest in January!

Also looking forward to the start of winter solstice and nature’s invitation to winter the soul, embrace the slower pace, and enjoy all things holidays here at home as the Cartwright Cuatro. 🎄

What about you, fellow performer? Are things slowing down for you or picking up?

Sip & Sing Pop-up POP Choir - DECEMBER edition ❄️

The snow didn’t hold us back! We warmed up our voices and our bellies with @coastalfermentoryuptown brews & food.

Not only did we fill up with taproom with some NSYNC, but friends who hadn’t seen each other in YEARS who registered separately for the event, ended up having a surprise reunion!

Friends, coworkers, neighbors, families - car ride belters, gigging performers, first-time singers, and choral pros - all gathered to sing, try something new, and have FUN!

If you want in on our next pop-up pop choir event, comment SIP below to get on our waitlist. You’ll be the first to get the next registration link for our next event in February. 💘

1. What aspects of my singing/artistry feel the most “alive” right now, and what do I want to amplify in the coming year?

2. If I meet myself at the end of next year, what does she look like? What does she sound like? How does she feel?

3. What would I do this year if I trusted my voice - fully?

I’m excited to see how this unfolds for you, dear performer! 🫶🏼✨

🥂 A toast to education, celebration, and letting the singers you love enjoy the holidays with you.

“She is yours.”

Beautiful words from our Nolan’s Wake playwright, @pattiveconi in regard to my character - Grace.

This work was fast, but full - requiring the utmost care and development to bring it to life. My artistry as an actor has been elevated, and I had a cast/crew who helped me sharpen it.

These past two years have been about taking on artistic/creative works that are honest, challenge me, and elevate female voices. So this was a “hell, YES!” opportunity and gift that @theztheater gave me.

Thank you, friends, for coming to support live theatre, and for the beautiful messages and encouragement I received from those of you who wanted to be there but couldn’t.

I’ve gained new friends & colleagues I admire, new collaborations to explore, and hopefully new stories to tell in the future. ✨

It’s WICKED weekend - thank goodness!

I won’t be seeing the movie until next week (ya know - doing show and getting these kiddos to Thanksgiving break), so I’ll do my darndest to stay in a small corner of the internet until then.

Loved doing this Wicked/The Wiz/Wizard of Oz themed event with @757artsoutreach a few months ago! 💚

When you’re a singer/songwriter also doing a play, you can’t help but create a soundtrack in your head.

This is what I hear during the closing credits if Nolan’s Wake was a movie. 🎥

But also, we don’t always get the resolution we’d hoped for at the end of year, end of a book, or the closing of anything. How do we move forward?

I hope this song helps you find a way to express that. Watch the full lyric video for “No (Year’s) Resolution” on YouTube.
