Singing my way to 7&4 News

Since I was a little girl I was putting on my plastic dress-up shoes and singing into the back of a hair brush.
Singing has been a passion and a creative release for me for as long as I can remember.
I sang all through high school in a gospel group and in the women's choir. I formed an awesome bond with my choir teacher Dave Fazzini.
After graduating MSU, I had decided to further my education and attend Specs Howard Media Arts School.
I knew that while in school I was going to need to find a job to support myself.
To my surprise, I was contacted by my high school choir teacher Dave Fazzini who I hadn't heard from in years. He said his band "Cancel Monday" was in need of a new female lead vocalist. I jumped at the opportunity to do what I love and make some extra money.
Before getting to 7&4 News I was singing with Cancel Monday Band for over a year. In that time we did hundreds of gigs that included private parties, weddings, appearances on WJBK FOX 2 News in Detroit, and an appearance on the WJR Mitch Albom Radio Show.
Like all bands we went through a couple of band mate changes but finally we have created the ultimate group of musicians and singers that play a variety of music genres including: Dance, Funk, R&B, Soul, Top 40, Motown, Rock and Jazz!!
Here are the men of Cancel Monday Band:
Dave Fazzini (my old choir teacher): Vocals/Keyboard
Glenn Olds: Vocals/Bass
Cole: Guitar/Vocals
Jeff Michels: Drums
Spence Beaman: Sax, Horn, Flute, Trumpet
