I first started singing when I was 12 years old. I wrote my first poem at this time, as well. I learned how to play the guitar when I was 17 and although I am limited in terms of playing, I can play "Hotel California" using bar chords, while singing! :) I know the basics but am weak in regards to strumming. I started writing songs at 22 and putting my poetry to music, which I can instinctively hear! My real passion is singing & public speaking. I have a masters in education with a specialization in speech. I teach "Public Speaking & "Introduction to Communication" when employed as an adjunct by various colleges. I run a Karaoke website with over 2700 followers, 1,000 plus members & 3,200,000 viewers. I love to sing karaoke & I especially love performing professionally. I recently started my own "Live Music Karaoke " Show At Restaurant Bar & GrillI - As A Host & was booked there shortly after with my co-host, for our first debut as "Variety Dance Duo". I am currently seeking work as an Independent Artist! If you need a female vocalist for studio work or professional consideration at various venues, etc. I can be reached at: debilynnphillips@gmail.com PROMO VIDEO: https://youtu.be/cdkSkXkzshc
