On July 1, 2004, Candice was named the winner of the Second Invitational Musicians Showcase at San Francisco’s Club Jazz Nouveau, in which fifteen other Bay Area vocalists competed.

“…soulful voice. Knows how to deliver a song. A natural entertainer! She feels it!” Melanie Berzon, Program Director, KCSM

“The Sound of Philly is alive and well with you; California is blessed!” Larry Murphy, Booking Agent

Legendary drummer and fellow Philadelphian, Donald “Duck” Bailey says of Candice: “Whenever & wherever the opportunity presents itself, you need to catch the warm, spirited, swinging voice of Candice. She’s “in the pocket.” She’ll bring back memories of the so-called Old School and when she’s through, you’ll want to hear more. Candice has a voice that should be recorded and listened to!”

Bassist, Michael Jones: “Candice is a refreshing, bright, fun singer who is going to be in the Bay Area’s eye very soon.”
