"I started singing solos in the church, and someone wanted me to sign up to a gospel record when I was eleven. However, I was not ready to do that," she says. Then, McDonald's held a contest with children from large cities. I was selected to perform "Accept the Grace of God" on it's Showtime at the Apollo. And the people were very enthusiastic.
