Getting over your fears

About Me

I haven't sang or performed in a while. Music was a gift and a curse at the same time. Sometimes things seem to be hopeful, and then they are just torn away from you. Music was my release and joy, but at the same time, it was a gateway to a purgatory and hurt. I am struggling to get past my own fears and the past and maybe see if there is something to make music worthwhile. My band and I have performed in the providence of Bataan in the Philippines back in the year 2000. We played rock, pop, soul, R & B and some other mellow music. We performed occasionally and sometimes had really good bookings. Ha ha. I remember the day that they discovered me. I was singing to myself in the restroom of a restaurant in Manila. At that time, Julian (The named of my 1st band) was looking for a female vocalist. Voness heard me singing to myself, and she talked to me and gave me an offer to work with them. We performed in some Hotels in Manila. Birthdays,Wedding etc. Then we decide to work abroad in year 2005. We had auditions to play in Korea and Japan, but suddenly we failed to get a Visa. Until one day, the owner of the promotion company called me and told me that only I had passed the audition. They offered me to work abroad and promised to give a good job. I met up with a band called Karen` in Korea. Where I was the lead vocalist, but Karen` didn't stay that long. So I spent some time away from Music all together because the Music Industry in Korea was a horrible lie for most musicians who came to Korea. I hope the rest of the world's music industry is not like that of Korea where it is used as a lie to trap numerous musicians in a horrible world that they never intended to see.
