Lici continued, “Those musical moments were golden and are what “kept a young Diva in the making GROUNDED.” Lici’s musical background laid the foundation for her uniquely pegged artistry titled: Inspirational Soul, fusioned with under currents of Contemporary and Traditional Worship, Pop, Rap, Classic Rock, and R&B.

Lici’s forthcoming album “Tailor Made” is slated for release in the Summer of 2008. “Tailor Made” speaks a universal message that poignantly conveys the essence of life’s trials, tribulations, and triumphs with songs entitled “Free To Be Me”, “Down Low”,“Love Button”, and "This Is My Worship". In Tha Diamond’s words, “By putting real issues to melodious tunes, my prayer is to bring hope to the hopeless, strength to the faint and empowerment to those who feel like life has nothing else left to offer.”Lici is compelled by her passion for the arts. She was created to touch the world with an undying message of hope in such despairing times.
