I started writing for this project in april 2007. These songs are coarse, raw pieces of what i'm about, that in time i will finetune and add layers. I've been waiting a long time to do this and these are exciting times for me. Most of the songs i'll be posting here and on my upcoming website will serve as material for a debut album. I'm rolling up my sleeves and getting involved in all aspects of this project (in addition to earning a living and being human), so it will take time.. Hopefully the end result will be worth the wait. =)
I'd like to send out a big thank you to everyone who has helped out and showed their support, you know who you are! Take care --sophie b.
