Catrese West AKA “Miss Mini”- Bio
Catrese LaJoy Green was born in Rocky Mount, NC and grew up in the small town of Sharpsburg, 5 miles further south. She got her pseudonym from her grandmother who nicknamed her “Minnesota Fats” because she was a chubby baby. The nickname was shortened to Mini and has stuck with her over the years. Mini began singing with her father, in a Top 40 band called “Electric Image” in 1990. The band traveled throughout the southern United States performing for many different types of audiences. With the band she was exposed to and performed music from the R&B, Country, Blues and Jazz genres. She has covered songs by Aretha Franklin, Gladys Knight, Shania Twain, Alicia Keyes, The Supremes and various Southern Soul music artists. After traveling with the band for more than 15 years, Mini longed to step out of her father’s shadow. She left the band in 2006 but put her music on hold while she explored other career paths. In 2009, she began to reevaluate her life. This reflection led her back to her first love, music.
Presently, Mini spends her days teaching in a local elementary school. Her free time is spent gigging and songwriting. Her main goal is to use her art to entertain as many people as possible. Visit her channel and subscribe today so that you will be the first to see her new videos!
