It wasn't long after Lovely began her college career that she became active in
social politics. Lovely soon realized that college was truly a Different World,
from where she'd come from -- especially the destitute neighborhoods of Roxbury's Orchard Park, where
she was born and raised throughout her adolescent years.
For Lovely, a Boston native, singing became her all time passion
at the tender age of nine. Unaware of her signing talents, it
was at this age that Lovely was requested, unexpectedly, to sing
a solo in church. From the excitement she felt and the reactions
she received from the congregation, it was at that moment Lovely
knew she wanted to become a singer and share her voice with the
world.
Now, having already achieved her academic goals of graduating college
and obtaining a Master's degree, Lovely is now on her way to accomplish
yet another one of her lifetime goals -- Superstardom.
Lovely says the release of, In The Making, is yet another milestone
in her life. "I've worked so hard and so long to develop great
material . . . I write and sing about love, life and people's struggles
. . . I'm ready to sing to the world because I get gratification
when I touch others with my gift of song."
Lovely attributes her singing style to many great Gospel and R&B
artists. Her influences include Fred Hammond, James Moore, The
Truthettes, Milton Brunson, Mary J Blige, EnVogue, and Whitney
Houston.
Lovely even credits Brandy, "Brandy is one of my favorite contemporary
R&B singers -- I think she is great."
