Going Rock

Ive always known deep down who I was and what I wanted to do. Of course singing and performing for an audience. But Ive always had trouble about which direction I should take, expressing myself and what I was all about. Now thanks to Diane Gibson and Jeff Kent I am now in the process of "coming out of my shell."

I love all styles of music! Please don't get me wrong, but with my look and vocal style, rock is definitely the way to go. Ive always LOVED singing that genre. Songs from Heart, Evanecense, Journey, Bon Jovi, Aerosmith are only a few of my original influences. It felt good finally walking into a studio and having that type of music presented to me. Somebody FINALLY understood who I was and what I wanted to be. Just finding that right path is always a struggle. I just needed a little push to come to a realization. That somebody is Jeff Kent! He has done plenty of Rock pieces that have that "mysterious" sound that I love. You can hear his style with European bands like House of Lords and the artists Robin Beck. They were all big hits in the 80s and 90s.

Again please don't get me wrong, I love r&b, Pop, and hip hop music! I love when Rock and any of those genres intertwine, but I LOVED walking into a music studio without hearing r&b beats. Finally a producer who knew who I was! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

On my myspace page is a small collection of the r&b music I got pushed into recording. I pushed myself because the music and the studios were available for me 100%. I was younger and not sure if there was anywhere else to go. I grabbed it while I had the chance. It was a great experience and Ill take it with me forever. I still thank all the producers for that opportunity. It was great writing with you.

The basis of this blog is to let everyone know that I am in the process of doing a brand new Rock album. I am so excited to write with Jeff and his co-producers. I know this genre will finally show my voice off the way Ive always wanted. Plus my dark style of writing will come much better into play! There will be hints of Pop and Hip Hop here and there! Trust me it's going to be fantastic! I can't wait for everyone to hear! STAY TUNED.......................

Rock ON!!!!! Always and Forever,

Epic Records, Reality Television, Spotlight Live!....oh and Legally Blond!

Well, well, well.......crazy week! One day I was on stage with the Legally Blonde cast on broadway, teaching a hundred kids the bend and snap dance! They were amazing people and so much fun to perform with. Just in case if your wondering......Spotlight Live hosted "kids night on broadway." We are doing the same thing next week with people from Hairspray! So excited!

The night after that was the "Spotlight to Stardom" Finals. I have to say, all the contestents were fantastic, but there's no way they could perform like my spotlight crew! There was a round that the finalists had to battle the "spotlight superstars." Now remember, we are the ones NOT winning the record deal, so not only were we just a bit bitter, but ready to kick a little ass as well! haha! Go to this url below to see a little snip of my battle. I took it easy on this finalist because I really wanted him to have a shot at this contest. He was the most humble finalist there! Great job Sebastien!

To see more of the finals, go to http://www.ziddio.com/ to see all the craziness that happened on that stage and of course to see our winner, Craig. He truly deserved it!!!!!!! Congrats to you!

My next topic soon to come: REALTY SHOW AT SPOTLIGHT LIVE! This all happened the same night! Smart move for owner Jennifer Worthington! I dont want to Jinx anything so I am not going to go into full detail at this moment. All I need to explain is that the sony represetatives that were there LOVED us! (meaning the performers) I was talking to one of the guys and he really seemed intrigued by the whole performing job and our personalities at spotlight. Trust me it would be an excellent realty show! Alot to work with! haha!

Rumor has it that Sony pictures are coming back to watch us in the next couple of weeks! What a great night night! I hope this all works out for us! We are all too damn talented! Come see for yourself. Spotlight Live..... Times Square.... Broadway.... between 48th and 49th....
