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,
Devon Marie
