Featuring

Embrace Your Passion
I uncovered my passion for music from my family. I began performing on stage at the age of six and it’s still one of my favorite places to be.

Live Life in Song
Life happened and I gave up on my dreams to be a wife and mom. Eventually, I found myself surrounded by musicians that reminded me how much I missed performing.

Be Inspired by Everything
I find inspiration all around me. I try to make my music representative of things that are going on in and around my life. I love telling the stories.

Red & Black Brass Band

The Red and Black Brass Band was created in April of 2020 after Ben Kosberg (bass horn) and Dominque Burton (trombone) took to the street to cheer up the neighborhood. 2.5 million Twitter views later, the band was formed. A dream that had been fueled and talked about for years by the 8 members of this creative ensemble became real and R & BBB has been on the upswing ever since. Born out of a pandemic, the goal was what it will always remain; to bring love and joy through the spirit of music and to help us all remember that we still have much to be grateful for.


The Red and Black Brass Band quickly became highly recognized by many in the great city of St. Louis, MO and were always met with smiles, dancing feet, and tears of joy. The blend of powerful horns and smooth singing with an array of music genres over a New Orleans Second line beat sets this band apart from many as they pay homage to the music so deeply embedded for most of its members, since birth. “We just want to have some fun and make the people feel good. We’re available for any occasion. Come and party with the Red and Black
