A New York native, Caress has been singing since she could remember. She started recording originals and began promoting them in clubs such as 1018, THE LIMELIGHT, 4D'S  and the BAY CLUB  just to name a few, and then almost went on to tour with the all girls group Pajama Party in the 90's, but decided to pass on the opportunity when she was told that japan would be the first stop, and that was just too far away to be from her children. So here in the wedding industry is where she made her mark and her career. she has played for several bands over the years, but decided to branch out and start her own entertainment company which was the next logical step of course with friend and singer Marcus Simeone to create Charisma.
