4 Attractive Lips-Speak Kind Words - I try 2 aim 4

About Me

"It is not what you get from life but what you give"
..
"At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us." (Albert Schweitzer) ....I am surrounded by love and am truly blessed! I love my family and each one of my friends. I would be nothing without them!
I WANT A PEACEFUL REVOLUTION - WHAT DO YOU WANT? I want to trade all my addictions for a pure musical soul. Pure as in Musical. It was thought the roots were deeply founded and on a solid foundation. However, in time they unraveled around her. During that disentanglement is when she really realized how deep the roots be. They were buried well beneath the surface. They were always there - even when she did not care for them to be. With that wisdom she realized that the only true love was that of music and the person who gave that gift to her. With water added her gift it grew to include the love of people and the acceptance that similarity is not the gain. The similarity being conformity to a particular society any society. Individuality was the key. She was meant to share the gifts with the entire world and this meant involving others in the musical cause.
ABOUT THE ALBUM:
Starting fresh from success with the acclaimed band “Lovejoy” she moved into her solo roots and started collaborating with a variety of talented musicians around the world which is reflected in the soul of the album.
Best known for her powerful voice on stage she decided to refocus her energy behind the scenes with a softer approach and in the comfort of her own home. Taking 4 years inclusive and basically completed from her living room the feel of the album can be described as simple, soft and relaxing.
In the past a few single releases have been heard in and around the world of club land (“Talk Dirty” with JK47, “Evidence is Clear” with Aigis etc.). To date she continues to work with many dj’s and producers from all different genres.
Aside from her music career Penny was formally an industry writer/reviewer of many musical acts which have included: Tegan and Sara, Paul Oakenfold, Paul Van Dyk, Joel Parkes, Roger Sanchez, Kenneth Thomas and festivals of many (WMC, WEMF, DEMF, Rogers Picnic, Ibiza etc.).
