Memphis, a rock ’n’ roll love
story set in 1950’s Tennessee, tells the story of Huey
Calhoun, a white radio DJ in the segregation era, who falls
in love with a talented young black singer named Felicia
Farrell played by Tatiana Owens.

School for the Arts, currently resides in New York City. The
singer, songwriter and recording artist has had music
featured on CBS, USA Network, and Vh1’s “Love and Hip Hop”
and has worked with writers and producers such as Frankmusik
(Lady Gaga), Bill Grainer (Jennifer Hudson) and a host of
others.

technically demanding dance numbers.
