While I’m am still working on my upcoming debut album, I have worked with different people with different work ethic and talents. I have come to the realization that if someone isn’t making me better and is holding me back then it’s better if I just let them go it’s their loss not mine because at every ending I have encountered I seem to keep moving forward in a better direction with better people. Speaking of better people! I started working with an amazing musician out in Jersey who plays almost like every instrument possible and it is pushing me vocally and challenges me with every session. I can say with confidence that this album is going to show a whole other side of me and really show off my vocals.

Can you even believe how quickly time is flying by?! I can’t! I finally get it.. everyone has the same amount of time in a day but it’s how we choose to spend that time that makes us efficient. Next week, I’m so excited I’m going to Baltimore to visit my favorite photographer Roy who will be shooting my promo pics and I can’t wait to see what kind of magical layout he will come up with this time. I NEED HELP PEOPLE!! WHAT SHOULD I BE FOR HALLOWEEN!!

On a different note! BIG NEWS!! I now have a very talented band backing me and I can’t wait for our project to be done so I can introduce them to you guys and so you can see all the hard work we have been putting in. We have many gigs approaching and more are lined up with dates TBD. (Check show dates and come see us J)

On a completely different note! OUCHHH! I just had my wisdom teethe removed. I have never felt pain like this! Luckily I don’t look like a chipmunk but the stitches and pain on my gums is unreal. They did it in the office, I was totally conscious and they didn’t use any pain medicine besides Novocain. I only had 2 pulled on the same side. I can’t imagine having them all out at once!! BRUTAL!

The reason I love being a songwriter is because I’m totally in control of the ink going on the paper. I am the puppet master and the world and characters in it are my dolls. I want to give a shout out to my ex-boyfriends out there who have screwed me over or were great and just didn’t work out for reasons unknown to man, as well as the boyfriends who got sucked into an alternate reality and are so blinded by things that they lose sight of what’s really important. Thank you all because someday you will make me a very wealthy little woman! Love songs are a dime a dozen and very easy to relate to, but a connection from the ears to the heart is when you know the love song did its job. Life is worth writing about and when plain words can’t express emotions… well music, it just says it all…

Sometimes I find myself at war with my self. I over analyze everything in my life. I sit there and try to go over situations that are unsettled and try to reenact them out in my mind. But what good is that. Less self-doubt and more sheer confidence, we can’t change the past but the future is ours to hold and create. Don’t harbor on the mistakes we made or things we could have done differently but use it as a motive to grow and use as a tool. I’m not perfect, in fact I’m nowhere close but I am very lucky, lucky to have an amazing support system. I’m lucky for my friends, family, and people who support my dream and passion for music.

It really does matter whom you surround yourself with. It’s so easy to get lost in certain situations and environments but we have to remember to weigh the options, if it’s benefiting us more to be in those environments or if it hinders us and makes up become followers instead of leaders. It’s ok to have fun and be young, wild and free but when things start to take over your life that’s when things are a problem. I really have to give a shout out to my family. I feel that they instilled great morals and values in me and although at times I can get a little crazy, they gave me my solid head on my shoulders.

Well that’s all that’s been on my mind the past few weeks and hope someone can understand where I’m coming from and keep on reading people!

What ever happened to good music? I mean, don’t get me wrong, I’m not knocking the pop genre, I’m just saying what ever happened to music that moves people? Bands like Queen or Chicago and songwriters like David Foster? I understand that the music industry is extremely competitive and is looking for anyone who they feel can sell a record but I’m talking about the music side. KESHA?? REALLY?? I have no words. I feel like some people may have all the talent but yet no one will pay attention because they don’t have the money or people to guide them there.

It is so hard to keep your head on straight in this industry with all of the phonies out there trying to “ help further your career.” There are a few traits I’ve learned to watch out for on my journey thus far:

Lip Service – if someone promises the world to you and acts on nothing, they are complete bullshit, and will probably not have a impact on your success.

Name Droppers – People who name-drop big named celebrities while boasting and bragging about themselves for more than half of the conversation or meeting is just over compensating. Only believe half or less until they put their money where their mouth is. People who are really successful don’t need to prove it to you.

Downers-stay away from people who bring negative energy or bring you down. It’s plain and simple: if these people distract you for the worst, run away. You need to stay focused and the people who care about you and want you to go far will give you the space and motivation to do so.

Lead You Not Into Temptation – If you are one who gives in or tries to fit in to be cool then you have already lost this battle. You need to stand true to your morals and values and have self-respect. This is so important. Once you change into a person someone else wants you to be, you have already lost what makes you special , your individuality.

It’s so easy to get discouraged and quit when trying to make your dreams and goals reality but I feel once we do succeed we will finally prove to ourselves that we could and would the whole time. As one of my best friends once said, “You won’t know all the answers your looking for until everything falls into place, even U2 still hasn’t found what there looking for .”

Lets discuss the latest media crises … TIGER WOODS, your overrated and I think you’re a total douche. THE END. Moving on, Reggie Bush and Kim K? Wow so upsetting, what hot babies they would have made. 2 months tops they will be back on. Dancing with the stars Mom Kate Gosselin should be home breast-feeding her children. Poor kids. A deadbeat -Ed Hardy T-shirt wearing dad and a dancing with the stars mom?? Um k.
