Whitney Mariena Coleman is a self-taught singer, songwriter, and musician who is known by audiences for her eclectic mix of music genres including Rock, Hip Hop, Jazz and Neo-Soul. A Gospel singer at heart, the young artist and Adidas All-American Basketball player from Southern California, started making music in her later years of high school once suffering from an ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) injury to her knee. Whitney states that the recovery process and journey towards self-empowerment not only strengthened her relationship with God but strengthened her love for writing and making music as well. After receiving Best Female Artist for the Inland Empire Music Awards in 2005, Whitney took that motivation across the country academically and athletically to the East coast. During her five years of college in upstate NY, the young artist and athlete was able to discover a deeper understanding of her purpose in life in regards to her academics, music and basketball and how she could utilize each of those components in order to reach people. This search for purpose driven success resulted in a series of community service involvement within her campus community, local youth and surrounding churches. After a variety of performances locally in Upstate New York, in 2009, Whitney debuted her sophomore album, “Bright Morning Star”, at the Priem Experimental Media and Performing Arts Center (EMPAC) Concert Hall in New York. Well over 300 audience members came to show support of Whitney’s new sound. |
