A teacher by day and always a critical thinker, Electric Lady has a rare artistic form of emceeing not seen among female rappers. With a vast proficiency of educating, marketing, entrepreneurship, journalism and traveling aboard, this Gemini—which she proudly represents—has a niche for continuous internal growth and a spirit for teaching others her knowledge.

“The music that I see, that I aspire to is really just such a high level of expression that in my mind, I’m constantly working towards that,” Electric Lady said.

Her passion for her craft of emceeing is highly influenced from artists such as Jimmy Hendrix, Erykah Badu, John Coltrane and Gil Scott-Heron.

“Music can really be my life; it doesn’t have to be separate from it. I really start to see more serious artist…who were really making their music their life but in a way was meaningful.”

Electric Lady is featured on Aquil’s “Children” and on other musical projects with Philadelphia producer, Y? Arcka. She is currently working on her own projects as well.
