Celebrating Milestones!!

I am getting some wonderful feedback in regards to my myspace page.  I know that in time my confidence in my voice will increase.  I now have over 200 views and close to 350 plays! Now comes the hard part... I have to decide if I have the courage to sing in front of an audience. I know that I will be able to invite friends and family but wonder if I will be able to overcome my nerves and perform in front of a live audience.  I have done talent  shows before so it should be ok... I just have to do it.  There is a Cafe in my hometown that does open mic nights on Fridays and I am considering it.  I will also have to consider my set list.... If there is anyone reading this, I would appreciate your opinion as a friend.. thank you!

Small Steps

Hello-

I have learned to play a song on the guitar and learning the cords.  I have also branched out on different forums to get some advice in regards to my songwriting.  Everything is going well in terms of progressing.  I have learned to look at it as taking small steps in order to make some essential progress towards making something happen. I will  say that my writing and recording has been on the back  burner at the moment- I am still looking for a job....but I will say in the mist of all this uncertainty, I am learning to reprioritize things in my life.  I hope everyone is well!

Trying to make a Decision

I come from a very musical family that encouraged me to sing and play instruments.  I was in the choir in high school and played piano, violin and flute.  When I was in high school, I started to write some songs after a teacher thought I could write.  So I decided to take a chance and have one of my songs critiqued.  The feedback was good since it was one of my better songs but I wonder how my other songs would hold up.  I know it is a long shot and it seems to be one of those things that happen to other people... but I promised myself this year that I would give this a real try and put in a REAL effort.  I have people that believe in me but it is also frustrating when any momentum you had going forward is cut down.  I have tried to contact pr firms, different music labels and artists for some advice in trying to strengthen and develop my career.  Some of you may laugh at me... and that is fine, I understand.  However, I don't want to look back at this and say that I never gave it a REAL shot and regret it. I will try to take a break from it and come back with a fresh perspective. 

Making Some Progress!!

Hello Everyone-

I am getting some feedback in regards to my music on myspace.  For the most part, it is good feedback.  I would like to make it clear that I am only testing out how my voice sounds and how the lyrics hold up in those segments.  I do plan on adding the full tracks up there with music sometime in the future.  I just wanted to see if there would be an audience out there and know if I had a good voice.  I appreciate the feedback and look forward to hearing more.  Overall, it is giving me some ideas on how to improve and work on. 

Making Some Process

I have made many New Year's Resolutions this year and one of them is to make some progress in regards to my music career.  I joined songwriting forums and am getting some feedback in regards to my voice and writing.  It is nice to see the amount of plays go up and get some exposure so that I can grow.  I hope that the music is good and I know that I will continue to improve.  I know that I am taking the first steps in making the most of this opportunity.  Hope everyone is well!!

A New Year 2010!!

I hope that everyone enjoyed the holidays!! They always seem to go by soo fast!! Anyway, I have put up some new songs onto the myspace page for you to listen to.  Hope that everyone will have a great New Year!! As for me, I am going to try to be a healther and happier person! I don't want to have any more regrets about things and I hope that by this time next year I can look back on where I was and be able to say I have come a long way! Thank you for taking the time to read or visit this blog or my page I appreciate it.  I just hope that my music is progressing and that someone can let me know how I am doing....It would be great to get some feedback!
