I am going to try to sum me up in a few words- Man...impossible! I have lived alot in my 35 years- from traveling to Mexico (missionary work) and Germany, being part of two different rock bands, and carrying my a** through college! Although it has been a few years since I have performed in a band, I am eager to get back on the bicycle again! FOR MY OWN SANITY! With my new Fender Strat, it shouldn't be too hard!
FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE ASKED: What style of music do I play? What is my vocal range? Are you "any good"? The two bands I performed with were completely different- one was ska punk and the other... blues rock! Extremes...yes I tend to have experience with those! My personal taste is more mellow BUT I CAN DISH OUT THE ROCK!
My vocal range is mostly alto that bleeds somewhat into the lower soprano range- and higher when voice is being used every day and I lighten up on cigs and whiskey! I can match range with Fionna Apple, Sade, Pink, Alannah Myles, and Natasha Bedingfield (Jewel on a good day!).
I have done a touch of lead vocals- and have pulled it off nicely!
AND THE FINAL QUESTION~~~~ Are you good with an instrument? I am self taught on the guitar, with a smattering of lessons with mentors/teachers. I mainly play acoustic guitar, focusing on the Flamenco style of finger picking. In order to broaden my horizons, I have bought a Fender Strat in the hopes of turning back to my rock~n~roll roots!
I have been classically trained (piano/ clarinet) and can read music and have had minor experience reading the TAB style of musical notation (that is what you get in all those magazines, ya'll).
I played piano and clarinet in my younger years- but then started to learn on my own ... keyboards, guitar and harmonica (YES- i said it!)by jamming with other musicians! In the field training you might say!
~I once took lessons and the guy said I was a superfast learner and that he actually felt the pace of the lessons were holding me back~
I know chords, and can follow a good lead- and then OVERTAKE THEM!
I have JAMMED with decent musicians and they never complained! So take it as you will- you just have to hear me!
I am actually looking to find a band to join- or will be slowly getting together the equipment I would need to record digitally at home- by myself! I mostly only play my own music- but could very easily learn cover tunes!
I write lyrics and music and would be willing to help create new material~~~ and I am not one of THOSE who freaks out about my fellow band members wanting to change or edit my work in progress! I consider all work to be a group effort once I present the initial idea or melody. HOPE THAT ANSWERS ALL YOUR QUESTIONS~ hope to JAM soon!
It took me a long time to get here- but by golly, I made it! I graduated with a Bachelor's in Psychology and got accepted to grad schoool- but a car accident changed my whole plan! Although I am still recovering, I am almost at 100% again! I have gotten back to my martial arts finally- still can't punch anybody yet- but can't WAIT! :D
Currently, I am a freelance writer... work for The Thunder Child website and the Fight News Unlimited site. I write book and movie reviews, cover local MMA fights, and I am also working on my first sci-fi book. Hope to be published in the next year!
For my day job... I work at a retirement community as an activity assistant! I get to party with the older generation- and I love every minute of it. I run a craft class for them and also take them on outings to the theatre and symphony productions. Remember... the body ages but the spirit stays young!
I enjoy camping, hiking, canoeing and hope to take up some rock climbing! I am a voracious reader and researcher- if you have a question, I can either answer it or find you the answer! I have a scientific mind but the heart of an artist! To live the fullest experience, one should taste both logic pursuits and artistic ones! I am a dancer, musician, writer, poet, artist, athlete, performer, philosopher, scientist, dreamer, lover, friend, sister and daughter.I am the girl next door- kicked up a notch!I also am very family oriented- I would do anything for them~ they rock too! I have three sisters and one brother- and countless uncles, aunts, cousins, and grandparents! I love each and every one of them! They taught me to be honest, work hard, be persistent, accept life isn't fair, and to give 110%! I was also taught that a woman can be just as smart, fast, powerful or successful as any man~ and that has proven to be true! God Bless Them!I am a spiritual person- I don't prescribe to any particular religion per se- but I would consider myself a Christian Buddhist if I had to pin it down.
I believe in the power of prayer, positive thinking, compassion and firmly believe in letting go of all earthly attachments! Of course this is easier said than done! I am quite attached to my Crown whiskey and cigarettes! LOL I believe in angels- in Heaven and on Earth- and I long for the day when we all find our inner Angel!
