Philadelphia native McIlwaine is a 2006

Communications, her passion for the arts played a major role in her college
career. She had leading roles in five musicals, was a member of The Cabrini
Dance Team and participated in Chorus. McIlwaine also hosted a radio show for
the college radio station 89.1 The Burn.
Recently, McIlwaine worked at
the Five Spot as a host during their signature Open Mike Night. Whether she is
greeting a crowd or introducing an unknown artist, McIlwaine loves being on
stage and interacting with the community.
In addition to her parents and
grandparents, McIlwaine considers Oprah Winfrey as one of her role models.
"Oprah went from a television host to an icon, always using her status to assist
others," says McIlwaine.
When she is not writing music, McIlwaine

school at Friends Select School. While in school she played soccer, basketball,
and softball and sang with the choir. McIlwaine currently resides in West
