Who Is Valysha aka EmpressV

My passion for music began before I could even form a full sentence. My mother grew up telling this story about the time I stumbled up on top of the kitchen counter and started singing and dancing for everyone to see. I was most likely around age three and my mother described it as an adorable and energetic performance.  Nobody ever told me what song it was playing, nor could I remember what it was. Still, that was the earliest account of my love for performing and singing. My passion for music can go even farther back than this moment. My mother was a dancer and sang in her church choir as a child. She kept this up even when moving from her comfortable and pampered lifestyle in Haiti, to the struggles she experienced once becoming an immigrant. She never lost sight of her own love for song and dance and that love went right into her children. My sister was also and singer in choir, a dancer, and an aspiring actress. Then came me, the shy, timid girl in the corner who didn't know who I was or who I wanted to be. I took the route of trying every everything i possible could and joining every club in school i could from band, chorus, drama, even the biology club. It took me years to find my own way and find my own passion in life. Once I went back to my roots, I found out what I was supposed to do.
