Biography[edit]
As an adult-contemporary / smooth jazz artist and performer, Green has performed at venues including the Staples Center, Madison Square Garden, Wachovia Center, Citizens Bank Park, and the Tropicana Hotel & Casino.[4] Green has performed for MTV’s Rock the Vote, debuted on XM Satellite Radio, been named a MySpace Featured Artist, and signed with BMG as artist and songwriter.[3]
After being told to create trendy “of the moment” music for many years, Green was inspired by CeeLo Green to follow her passion for making classic, timeless music. When she sang with him at the 49th Annual Grammy Awards, he advised Green to just “do what you love.”[5]
As a result of this advice, Green collaborated on her own project of classic love songs with Broadway composer Frank Wildhorn, who penned hits for Whitney Houston and Natalie Cole.[2] Green’s new project of original love songs features her debut single What Love is All About, co-written with Wildhorn.[6]
