Music Is what I have to give because I eat Sleep and breathe this.

She first started out with Carnival Beats led by owner Salih Williams, Then at age 16, she was in a group called "PICK YA POISON" with Y2JJ & Mr. Fitness. They would wind up producing her first hit single "Holla" that opened up everyone’s eyes and made them wonder who the hell is Staci Russell.
