DIY/DIE
3/22/12
I couldn't be more impatient. Also, I couldn't be more excited. After about six months in my new diggs (thePinkHouse) some actual music is actually coming into fruition. By 'actual' I mean the coming together of the trax we have been recording, piece by piece, pretty much since I moved in. Though being extremely proud and enamored in imploring the DIY path that we have been tumultuously following, I want more than anything to share them with everybody (theWorld). There is still significant work to be done but hopefully by Summertime, errrybudddy can hear (and see) our shiiittttt. If someone reading this is also a DIY artist, I would love to hear about your experiences and methods.

This is at Stoney's (11th and Lincoln) and I will be performing a couple tunes. Soul Clap
1/17/12 My mother used to dance gently to Aretha Franklin’s respect on a regular basis while I was still living inside her womb. Her being Motown born and raised, my mother exposed this music to me much throughout my entire life (including before it really began). Needless to say, because of this early exposure and upbringing, soul music influences a big part of what I choose to listen to and also of what I write and perform. So here is to why I am expressing my elation for the trend of …
My Marilyn Monroe...
11/18/11 I think I could do a lot for Lindsay Lohan. In a way, I already feel connected to her in that growing up I used to check her out (and her fake identical twin self) in The Parent Trap, a movie that my little sister would watch relentlessly. With honesty, I can say that some of my first feelings of “love” (or symptoms of love is probably more accurate) came from one of the thousand times I saw double-Lindsay on the old “tube” in the old living room as my sister won …
