Octavia was a talented and soulful singer and had some original material which she began to work in collaboration with Hartford, Connecticut resident Greg Field. In the late summer and fall of 2005, after a few impromptu test sessions, Field was engaged to produce her recordings at his home digital recording studio, but the project was interrupted when Field went to Iceland to play in piano bars for an extended period and ultimately the recordings were never completed.
