Tess started singing before she could walk.

She was born to be a music artist. Tess entered every talent show that her Virginia Beach schools put on.  Harmonizing came naturally and she sailed through school singing in all-city and district choruses as well as  the lead singer with the band, Two Tone Blue and later, as a student with Academy of Rock, she sang with cover band, Indecision.

The big city allure of South Florida gave Tess a chance to hone visual artistry skills studying special effects as well as fashion makeup artistry. But the detour was short lived and Tess returned to singing and joined The Renegades band.

Her journey has been a winding road.
