"songs remain; they last. the right song can turn an emperor into a laughingstock, can bring down dynasties. a song can last long after the events and the people in it are dust and dreams and gone. that's the power of songs". -- neil gaiman
i am jackie summers, and i write songs.
if you'd like to read the whole spiel, as well as listen to more music, go here .
the abridged version is, i write, arrange, compose, produce and play most or all of the instruments.
i used to model but i'm mostly retired now ;-)
I DO NOT SING.
i have no aspirations to be a performer; i'm more than happy staying behind the scenes.
i leave singing to the professionals, and i am fortunate enough to work with some ridiculously talented people, like selan , who is the male lead on the songs above, and jeni fujita , who is not only an amazing vocalist but engineers our sessions as well. if you are feeling the vocals you're hearing,
go show them some love, and tell them i sent you ;-)
i've always heard finished compositions in my mind.
writing songs is a lot like having imaginary friends; until you get into the studio and lay down the track,
no one knows how REAL what you hear is except for you.
i want to thank you for stopping by my corner of myspace.
if you read the blog entries, i hope it made you THINK.
if you took time to listen to the music, i hope it made you FEEL.
i hope i was able to influence your day in some small way for good.
