Long TIme No See!!!

Hello to all my fans on twitter, facebook, myspace, and myyearbook. I am hoping that all of you are doing well and that you are continuing to follow your dreams. I am out here in Virginia lookin for a job and chillin with my boo. I am still workin on that music tho. Its kinda hard not having internet right now but I will get all that up and running soon. Which I really can't wait cause I am going crazy not being able to twitter and keep in touch with all my fans. I guess that is just the way that it goes sometimes. You always have your ups and downs you just have to know how to over come the downs and get back up no matter what. Just keep dreamin and believing and everything will work out just fine. So yeah anyway I am still waiting for my producer to email what I recorded so I can work on it and turn it into something worth selling.. if you know what I'm sayin. I have so much stuff on my mind lately and it is making it really easy to just sit down at my laptop or with a pen and paper and just start writing out a song. It seems like when I have a lot of stuff on my mind I usually get my best songs then. So I guess I am going to tell you a little bit about why I started writing and singing and all that jazz. So I grew up in a very musically talented family altho none of them ever made anything of it. My great grandmother played the guitar and the banjo. Yes I know you all are thinkin that is super country but it is what it is. If you ever get the chance to talk to me on the phone you will hear how country I am. Anyway.. My grandmother played the guitar and piano and sang of course. My mother can play the piano a little bit and sings. So it is just something I inherited I guess. Anyway I learned my first song and started singing when I was 8 months old. Not even walkin yet and I was singing “Jesus Loves Me” at the top of my lungs. My grandmother taught me my first song and I am inspired by her even tho she is no longer here. At the age of 12 she was teaching me how to play the piano. I guess she just taught me the basics I picked up on the rest of it on my own. I also play the flute which is some what of a difficult instrument to play. When my grandmother passed away right before Christmas it hit me really hard. Then on January 1^st 2000 I started writing music. The first song I wrote was written about how much she meant to me and how much I missed her. All my songs to this day are dedicated to her because she always told me to go for my dream and she inspired me to be the best. I have always dreamed of being a singer and she told me if I wanted it to go for it. I just never knew how. Now I am meeting all kinds of people and I am going for it. I want to make her proud. All my songs have a lot of heart and meaning in them because most of them are about things I have gone through. I write all types of music from rock, to r&b to country. I wrote songs about all different topics like suicide, love, hate, abuse... I bet if you name it I have lived through it and wrote about it. Well this entry for today is really long so I am going to end it here but stay tuned for more episodes of In The Life....

Love ya'll
