fits many categories: sultry diva, powerful vocalist, producer,
lyricist, stunning beauty, international performer. Yet her music defies

vocalist. Her travels led her to Penny Ford, the former lead

talent and introduced her to the Snap organization. Thea was whisked to
Germany to begin work on Snap's album The Madman's Return together with
the rapper Turbo B. She not only sang, but co-authored many of the cuts.
