In her early 20s, Warr was working at several local restaurants and started entering karaoke contests. She won them so often that the bars encouraged her to stop entering and to start doing music on her own.
Warr's day job was in the kitchens of a handful of Tucson restaurants, including working with her Art Institute of Tucson culinary program classmate Cecilia Arosemena's Dish for Dosha juicing business, based out of the downtown YWCA. ”My mom was a rock star, literally and figuratively,” said her 21-year-old son, Hiram S. Corbett II, who attended several of those driveway concerts. “If she wasn't there, people were kind of bummed.”
