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.
