Music Is My Life

I have a lot of promising things coming up, but don't want to spill the beans too soon. I have learned not to get excited off of word of mouth. But stay tuned!

Musical technology certainly has drastically changed from when I was a child. In my earlier years, I remember falling asleep on the floor in my Mom's studio. My goodness, that woman would be at it all night long. That is where I learned mostly everything I know. She is phenomenal. She had her own record label at the time and had many accomplishments as a singer/songwriter and female producer. She also plays a few instruments like drums, keyboard, and some acoustic and bass guiter. My friends thought my Mom was the coolest person ever. She taught me to play keyboard by ear. To which I learned my very first classical song by ear called "Cannon". Shocked the heck out of her! I began producing my own music at a very early age. I wrote my first song at age 12. It was called "Sound of my Voice". Putting together a song in the 90's was not as easy as it is now. Let my Mom tell it, she'll tell you how hard it was in the 70's to put together a song. There was no, cut/copy/paste. It was "start all over from the beginning if someone was off". We had a Roland XP60 keyboard. You could slide a floppy disk into to save your music. Of course I had my own disk with my own beats I created or re-created. Sometimes I would re-do mainstream beats just to see if I could do it. I was only 13 years old. Staying up until 6am. I had a book full of songs by age 14. Don't get me started on talent shows. I've lost count of those. We'd rehearse all day while our friends played outside. Our moves had to be identical and on point. My Mom was no Joe Jackson, but instilled discipline in us for the stage. That is why people say I turn into such a serious person when on stage. It is not a joke to me. Music is all my family knows really... that and Jesus. Each one of us can sing, write or play an instrument. A family full of songwriters is surely a gold mine.

One day, the world will know my story. I'm not just a girl who decided to get into music by watching Tv. I was born this way, into a family of musicians. This is my passion. My joy. My pain. My life. So when you hear my song "Music Is My Life", it truly is and I mean every word.

Until next time..
