Hi! I'd like to thank you for stopping by and welcome you to my little corner here in the wonderful world of MySpace. First off, I suppose introductions are in order - I'm Barry, and as you've probably already figured out, I'm one of the many millions of songwriters and recording artists here on MySpace.
In 2005, I released my first solo CD, "These Are the Days," which was produced by Shay Watson of Nashville, TN (see my Top 8). I also have a new EP which is currently in the process of being mixed and mastered.
I consider myself blessed to be able to make music my full-time career. In doing so, I've met many wonderful and interesting people along the way. I truly feel that because of music, I have the opportunity to see the world in a manner that I ordinarily wouldn't be able to.
Paradox has always seemed to be the theme of my life, and never is it more apparent than in my music career. For example, so often, I perform until closing time in bars and nightclubs, only to find myself in church a mere few hours later playing and singing hymns.
One day of my life can take me to so many different places.
Anyhow, enough of my babbling about that. If you'd like to learn more about all that stuff, you can do so at my main artist website at www.barryrusso.com.
Every songwriter and recording artist has their story. Beyond the basic biographical details, there is also always a deeper story. Who they are as people. What drove them to write the songs they write. What their thoughts about the world around them are. What they feel inside. What they hope to accomplish during their time here on this spinning globe, and so forth.
Over time, I'd like to share my story and perspective with you here, through my music and also through other means, such as the blogs, etc.
My purpose is not just so that you can learn about me, but that we all can learn about ourselves and each other. Comments and blog replies are most welcomed and greatly encouraged!
What's really important about music is how it affects the listeners. What does it make them feel? How does it impact their lives?
I'd like this page to be a place where people can visit and then walk away feeling like their life has been touched in some way for the better, whether it be through the songs, the blogs, or the comments, thoughts, and reactions of other visitors to the page.
Whether the impact is something monumental, or perhaps just a slightly lifted spirit as you go about your day or night, I hope you enjoy your visit here! Don't forget to say hi in a comment or email before you leave.
