Career Beginnings
As a child Wendy St. Kitts spent her summers in New York City where she eventually relocated and struggled to build her music career. Man, it was as tough as it should be. Selling sex was and I guess is the thing to do, but that's just not me. So, like many others, I took the long, hard road of certified rejection and truly discovered who I was. Still the best thing I've ever done.
Albums
In 2004, Wendy self-released the LP Windy Road in her native country of St. Kitts-Nevis. Driven by the single "Don't Lie to Me", Wendy returned to St. Kitts for her first headlining concert in May 2004. In April 2008, St. Kitts released her first full-length professionally produced EP, Woman Empowered. Vocally, she moved from a roar to a whisper with ease. R. Hendix, Music Supervisor MTV New York City said of her: "Wendy has a big voice; a great voice. Her music is really big." With Woman Empowered, the music inside reflected the journey and musical rebirth of a woman committed to transforming lives through her music and self-expression. VividNurban.com said about Wendy St. Kitts, "This songstress has a presence and a voice that is guaranteed to move the most rebellious of crowds just by the passion with which she delivers her material.".
In support of Woman Empowered, during 2008-2009, Wendy and her band embarked on a small tour throughout New York City and Washington D.C.

Famous quotes containing the words career and/or beginnings:
“What exacerbates the strain in the working class is the absence of money to pay for services they need, economic insecurity, poor daycare, and lack of dignity and boredom in each partner’s job. What exacerbates it in upper-middle class is the instability of paid help and the enormous demands of the career system in which both partners become willing believers. But the tug between traditional and egalitarian models of marriage runs from top to bottom of the class ladder.”
—Arlie Hochschild (20th century)
“Those newspapers of the nation which most loudly cried dictatorship against me would have been the first to justify the beginnings of dictatorship by somebody else.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
