Today was a Good Day

Mood: excited

So I had my very first photo shoot today and oh my goodness it was fantastic. I never thought that I could be made to feel so beautiful in my life. Cris took pictures of me that were even amazing to me. She has an eye and knows exactly what she is looking for and what will look good.

I got so many photos and can not wait to go through them and pick and choose which ones I will post on my page and which will go on the album. Over a hundred I would say and I am sure it is going to be so hard to do. But It will be fun I am sure.

Doing things on my own and being out in the world as a solos artist is not easy because every decision that is made will be a decision that I will have to live with good or bad. And not having a shoulder to lean on anymore will be hard but I am a tuffy. So I will be alright. I know that making these simple decisions will be good. Standing alone brings out the star in me. Especially when it comes to music choice.

Ok I’ll stop the jibber jabber.

Spreading my Wings.
Current mood: inspired

One day as I was sitting at my computer, which I often do. I ran across an add for actors to audition for a play Written and Directed by Victoria Mares-Hershey. Who is a very remarkable and intelligent women. She is one of those African American women who you know has a story to tell and "How Did You Get Here?", I am sure is only one of these stories.

"How Did You Get Here?" is a play about history, about life and realities of what is and what was. An innovative production that is set within the 1600 to 1800 in what was then known as Pemaquid (Maine). The characters' whom tell there stories include Africans in America in the early years. They are not faceless or nameless as in the collective term "slavery", but take form as people who were as integral to the making of Americas as the most well-known, White Patriots of New England and the rest of America.

This play is not about woe is me, or about one thing, it is inspired by the history around the human stories of Africans, European-Americans, Loyalists and Patriots, revealing there lives connected to one another in ways in which they would or could not conceive. As the drama bridges over a hundred years, there stories unfold within a compass rose a construction that binds them together and drives American social and racial dynamics for half a millennium.

As I do my own personal research for the play I am amazed at what I am learning and I hope to not only share my talents with all of you but also a little American history. So I will definitely keep everyone updated about the happenings of this new adventure and of course will send invites to the opening.

What has been done once will be done ten times over…. trying something new.
Current mood: awake

So as I create MY music I always try to be aware of what is going on right now in the music scene. I am never wanting to be like everyone or anyone else I just want to try and be on top of my game. What ever that is.? And I realize that so many people are new and fresh and others. Well they are kind of cheap nock offs of the thing. For the truly undiscovered talented out there I wonder. What does it really take.

You and I have herd that talent is not the half of what it takes to be on top and to stay there. It is having the total package and we all go to extremes to figure out what that is. I know first hand I have been working my tail of to be lean BUT FIT. And get back to my pre-baby , high school body. Which will never happen I know this I am not delusional I squeezed out 3 kids in the course of 5 years. Be real.

I think to myself that I could have bigger ta-tas or change my nose because it does this weird flare out thing when I sing. Oh I will tell on myself, I sure will. But really I am who I am and weather or not this dream comes true and I do someday make my passion for music a bread winning gig. I have to be real with myself and real with my children who look up to me.

So any who, back from my rant. I just am so all over the place with my music. Some songs are simply Country and others are Rhythm and Blues. And of course I have those border line songs. So where do I fit in. Where do I market myself. Where do I send the demos. And I my answer is as simple as I get. Everywhere what is the worst thing that could happen I be told "NO". Like that will be a surprise. I just want to make music enjoy what I am doing and hopefully one day get signed. Every musicians dream. To be able to make my family happy and proud of me is the ultimate prize and I have already done that. So on to the world.

Never ending and will be doing this or goodness knows how long. Just being me Like it or not. I will keep bogging and chatting asking question and being real

Nothing is Ever Black and White
Current mood: blissful

From East Coast to West Coast the album is definitely on its way and believe you me, It is nothing anyone has herd especially when it comes to Country music. I am sorry y'all I am still a sister girl and I can not live without a few riffs here and there, and of course some back breaking beats. As I said different…. Love it or hate it is up to you. I have enlisted some fantastic folks from back home and my new home when the time comes I will fill you in.

Any who BLACK AND WHITE is MY baby, my story, my life and I am going to put as much as I can into it. Because the reality is I ain't no spring chicken and I got to get this show on the road. But really I have received the blessing to rock it buy the one OVERLY CITICAL person in my life and that is my eldest sister. And let me tell you she is a hard cookie to please. Believe that. So when she is giving me her blessing in my sound in my vision I am going all the way. No regrets.

More updates soon….

Nothing is ever Black and White
Current mood: anxious

Things are never as simple as what is and what is not. I have made a lot of hard choices in my life and have had to let go of something that was very much a happy moment in my life.

Musically I have so much in me to say. And hope that those of you that believe in me are willing to listen. They say the best songs from an songwriter come in those times of strain and dismay and the best moments in ones life. And I believe I qualify for all of those and more. I gave apart of me away a long time ago and thought I was in a place I wanted to be. I am not sure what will come of GoldFox's decision to go our separate ways. And I know that a bond was created that will never be broken even in the worst of times. But I have to be true to me.

Who I am is not as simple as I would like it to be. I love Country music, I listen to everything and everyone from Paramore, Celine Dion, Gretchen Wilson, Evenescence and Reba McEntire. So you got me on who I am. I was given a minnute ability to sing and write and I just want to focus on getting what I feel is my best out there. So hold on and keep your fingers crossed there is a storm bruin’ to find ME...

To be continued......

Cross roads....
Current mood: contemplative

Goldfox has gained popularity so quickly, it has made both of us make some decisions now that we thought were much further down the road. One of us has a love of country, the other a love of blues and we knew we could combine them for a while, but not forever.

The two of us will always be sisters and expect to work with each other musically in the future. We have an amazing musical chemistry and so much fun together!For now, we are going to give each other the love and space to go our own directions and pursue our own passions.

We thank each and every one of you for your support and letters of encouragement. Its meant a lot to both of us

No Shows at this time I am currently working on my solo demos and album....
