Banner by Marley; I love her. Everything else by MOI ((so credit if you take anything!!))

LITTLE KNOWN FACT: I am one of the few "artists" on MySpace who doesn't bombard people with friends requests if they're not a friend to me online or off, or if it's not the page of one of my idols. I don't know for certain which people are ever interested in hearing me and I don't like to impose. I'll befriend anyone who genuinely wants to get to know me ((why anyone would like my music I have no idea)), but I've pretty much decided my Top 24 friends as they're all friends. Making a "Top 24" list is really hard and oft misleading. If you're one of my friends but you're lower down on the list, that doesn't mean I value you any less; I think you're all tops.

^ A banner I made for the hell of it. Yeah, that's my guitar.

^ My page viewer count thingy. Not that I expect to get many hits; I want to re-record my songs with better equipment and make my profile ... better. It'll be a shame to let go of the Queen of the Night painting though; but I need a background that can repeat.

In case you're wondering, these banners were made by moi in promotion of the Phantom of the Opera Australian Cast Recording and / or Filmed Stage Performance Petition (Starring Anthony Warlow), hosted by Unexpected Song: Celebrating the Life of Anthony Warlow.

I have seen Anthony Warlow live and seen Phantom five times!
1: Phantom of the Opera, Melbourne, 21st November 2007 on a Wednesday at the 1pm Matinee.
2: Phantom of the Opera, Melbourne, 8th of January 2008 on a Tuesday night. Met Rebecca, Lauren and her sister, as well as ANTHONY WARLOW! Pictures are up, including blogs!
3: Phantom of the Opera, Melbourne, 9th of January on a Wednesday at the 1pm Matinee with Simon Pryce as the Phantom. Met ANTHONY WARLOW AGAIN after the 8pm show!
4: Phantom of the Opera, Sydney, 13th of September on a Saturday night. Met a lot of members from Unexpected Song for the LSS Weekend; Unexpected Song's first unofficial nin-convention. Also met Jackie "Mme. Giry" Rees and got her autograph.
5: Phantom of the Opera, Sydney, 14th of September on a Sunday Night. Met up with Unexpected Song members again for the LSS Weekend. Also met Ana "Christine" Marina, Alexander "Raoul / Dimples" Lewis, Julie "Christine" Goodwin, Simon "Phantom / Lionman" Pryce, John "Firmin" O'May, David "Piangi" Rogers-Smith, Nadia "Meg Giry" Komazec, Sarah Bakker, David English, Kathleen Moore and - surprise surprise - Anthony Warlow. AGAIN! Photos from the weekend are up.

And ... I was kissed by him! Twice! ^)_^

Here's a wonderful promotional video made by jayko for the Phantom of the Opera Australian Cast Recording and / or Filmed Stage Performance Petition (Starring Anthony Warlow).

I suppose the biggest influence would be my family and friends ((don't roll your eyes at me, it's true)), particularly Alexa. Alexa is - or kind of was - my Vocal Teacher since I was 13 ((now that I'm in Uni I've got a different vocal teacher)), she's just a wonderful woman, brilliant performer ... You know I have never once seen her angry. I've seen her upset and disappointed, but never angry. Now that's something to live by.

Now, I do have a little list of my idols and influences on my Live Journal Profile , but let's try and get it all here too ((NOTE: The "R.A.T.E.D. M15 +" thing is just a kickstart list to my idols and influences; the ones I really like make this list so they don't get lost in the alphabetical order, although sometimes my preferences change)).

RATED M15+: Roy Weissensteiner; Anthony Warlow; Tim Curry; Eric Idle; David Bowie; M[oops! Intrest shift; suggest someone starting with M?]; Alan Rickman; Eva Cassidy + Alain Boublil; Ana Marina; Anthony Hopkins; Areatha Franklin; Barry James; The Beatles; Billie Holiday; Cassandra Wilson; Christine Andreas; Christopher Lambert; Claude-Michel Schönberg; David and Leigh Eddings; Danny Elfman; Dave Cook; David Campbell; David English; David Hobson; David Thelander; David Rogers-Smith; Dennis Olsen; Derek Taylor; Dinah Washington; Don Mc'Lean; Douglas Sills; Dudley Moore; EAST WIND; Elaine Page; Ella Fitzgerald; Eric Bogle; Eric Clapton; Erik Satie; Eugene O'Neil; Frank Wildhorn; Gary Morris; Gay Soper; Gene Wilder; Geoffrey Rush; george; Ghillian Sullivan; Herbert Kretzmer; Hugh Laurie; The Idea of North; India Arie; Jim Carry; Joan Collins; Dame Joan Sutherland; John Bolton-Wood; John Cage; John Cleese; John Hurt; Johnny Cash; Johnny Depp ((shut up. It's actor's admiration, that's all)); Jon English; Julie Goodwin; Julie London; Lena Horne; Leslie Bricusse; Lee Hazlewood; Linda Eder; Michael Ball; Michael Crawford ((only a little)); Neil Diamond; Neil Kirkby; Nina Simone; Peter Cousens; Patricia Quinn; Peggy Lee; Peter, Paul and Mary; Philip Glass; Philip Quast; Richard Alexander; Sir Richard Attenborough; Richard O'Brien; Robert Lemke; Robert Lewis Stevenson; Rodney Rude; Rowin Atkinson; Sarah Vaughn; Simon and Garfunkel; Simon Pryce; Steven King; Suzanne Johnstone; Taryn Fiebig; Terrence Mann; Terry Pratchett; Traci Harding; Weird Al Yankovic; Willem Dafoe; Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

"I am the entertainer ... "

Oh, and whilst I'm thinking of it ((while I'm thinking of it? I suck at grammar. And spelling)), to the people who have been asking what my accent is, my answer is: "GUESS".

^ Just thought I'd let you guys see the kinda stuff I listen to. You don't have to like it. The point is I do.
