Cynda began a professional life of acting and singing after relocating to New York from her native Chicago. Her debut film MO' BETTER BLUES directed by Spike Lee, was a critical and commercial success. Blessed with a role that also required singing, her song HARLEM BLUES went #1 on the R&B charts. That film opened the door to her next performance in Carl Franklin's ONE FALSE MOVE - the true icebreaker for Cynda's career. This break out independent film appeared on many Best Film lists and Cynda was nominated for the coveted Spirit Award. She has since done many films.
Cynda sings professionally for film and on the stage. She sings Jazz, Americana and R&B.
Cynda’s career also has taken a turn to creating content - writing screenplays, musicals, and books. She looks forward to bringing her creations to life with the commercial production of these works. Her current project is Pink Pantie Confessions, book, web series, and blog. The book was recently released on Amazon and where ever books are sold.
