Singer, songwriter, actress, entertainer are but a few words that describe the effervescent Ms. Mitchell. Born in Michigan, Ms. Mitchell always loved to perform and started her career performing in stage productions around her hometown of Kalamazoo. Her vocal training and stage persona came at the expert hands of Bertha McNeal, a member of Motown's Velvelettes. Ms. Mitchell's strong vocal talent led her to being cast as a replacement (Shenzi) in Disney's "The Lion King." Other appearances included Dreamgirls and Beehive. Starring and co-starring in various stage and film productions, Ms. Mitchell moved to Chicago where she joined several R&B bands and began performing at various venues around the city and headlined venues such as Chicago's Park West, where she was labeled as the "first independent act to fill to capacity," and the HotHouse. Having always loved writing lyrics, Ms. Mitchell teamed up with Keith Henderson, former musical director for R. Kelly and Anita Baker, just to name a few. Together the pair created what Ms. Mitchell terms a "journey," with her first CD "The Many Moods of Me."
