Eventually, California would once again play an important role musically for Willie Norwood and family. He began working with local community choirs in Los Angeles while beginning post-graduate work at California State University. Norwood’s work with the choirs afforded a young Brandy and Ray J the opportunity to enhance their blooming musical interest.
