Life hasn’t been easy for Claudette Ortiz, formerly of City High.

The singer/songwriter has survived abusive relationships, endured a tough divorce, overcome homelessness, and moved past being broke, all while raising three beautiful children.

Shortly before Claudette was able to see the light in her dark life, the 32-year-old singer was days away from going into the military,  but before she took her oath, she received a life saving phone call from the executive producers of the popular reality show R&B Divas.

Not wanting to miss the opportunity to make a living for her children, Claudette packed up her things and headed to Los Angeles to shoot the reality series and hasn’t looked back since.

Claudette stopped by the offices of GlobalGrind to clear up the rumors surrounding her perceived City High “love triangle” with childhood boyfriend Robbie Pardio and now ex-husband Ryan Toby. Claudette also dished about her trials and tribulations and how R&B Divas LA came at the right time in her life.
