Honesty

Honesty began her professional music career by dancing and playing in the rafters of the Florida A&M University stadium as a member of the famed Marching 100. By her third year in college, she had formed a band that had become highly requested in the moss-covered streets of Tallahassee, Florida.

Much as changed since those early days at FAMU. But one of the most remarkable progressions is how Honesty’s talent has only grown more impressive over the years. Likewise, her resume today stretches across every facet of entertainment imaginable. From stage plays to modeling to being the frontwoman to her band and singing background for more artists than there is time to list, Honesty has finally reached a performance pinnacle built around the unequalled sound that she has become known for. What is her sound, you may be asking? Some have described her sweet alto tone as one that reverberates with the resonant vibrato of Anita Baker and Phyllis Hyman, while almost effortlessly achieving the depth defying peaks of a Lauryn Hill or Erykah Badu. This unprecedented blending is inevitably completed but only after wrapping this up with the conventional stylings of Amel Larrieux garnished with a slightly Rihanna-like West Indian undertone. At the end of the day, Honesty’s style and musicality is as exciting as it is enamoring. For in life, there is love and there is living. But ultimately, there is nothing as pure as Honesty.
