Her career began at the age of 23 in Seattle at one of it's most famous live music nights, Jumbalaya. She was raised on Gospel, but was introduced to hip-hop by DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince's "Parents Just Don't Understand". Beside the gospel, it was hard for Choklate to hear much soul music at home, so when finally out on her own, she recalls having her ear to everything from Bach and Yo Yo Ma to Brotha Lynch Hung.

Her brother produced and engineered her first record, "Sound Sessions Vol.1", which she claims was the incubator for her craft. During the recording of that album, she was introduced to punctuality, professionalism, and the politics of the game. Her brother Mike D made sure, musically, that she had a canvas to discover and work on her voice." She later met Jonathan Moore of Jasiri Management and he introduced her to the three most happening hiphop producers in Seattle: Bean One, Vitamin D, and Jake One. Her follow up album "Choklate" was one of the truly organic, R&B records to come out of Seattle in a long time.

As spring blooms into summer, along comes the birth of a stunning new soul artist. The debut full length by Choklate is equal parts soul, gritty hip hop and a sound and songwriting standard that we all wish commercial R&B would have grown up to be.

Tonight I'm gonna fly higher than I've flown before
Take my chances and gamble them all away and maybe make more
It's risky business I hope you with it, we can handle it
But if not it's ok as long as the beat plays, we'll dance the night away

When the music wants to take over I'll let it, I'll let it, I'll let it
When the music wants to take over I'll let it, I'll let it, I'll let it
When the music wants to take over I'll let it, I'll let it, I'll let it

When the music wants to take over I'll let it, I'll let it, I'll let it

I'm not going nowhere I'm staying right here (Right here)
I'm not going nowhere I'm staying right here (Right here)
I'm not going nowhere I'm staying right here (Right here)
I'm not going nowhere I'm staying right here (Right here)

If I'm winning then you're winning too let's stay together I promise it will be good
If I"m going then you should go too let's take each other and fly to the moon

When the music wants to take over I'll let it, I'll let it, I'll let it
When the music wants to take over
When the music wants to take over I'll let it, I'll let it, I'll let it
When the music wants to take over I'll let it, I'll let it, I'll let it

I'm gonna stay right here I wanna, I wanna, I wanna know how you get down so lets go
I wanna, I wanna, I wanna know how you get down so lets go
