Awake....in a world full of nappers......

About Me

Hmmm. I never quite know how to answer this. Key phrases and song titles always work nicely, but yet. . . still not enough. So instead, I'm soliciting my friends to tell you about me. Peruse the comments, leave a comment and let people know about me. The good, the bad, the ugly, the amazing. Knock yourselves out. Here are some words to begin the thought process: Observant, Loyal, Kind, Judgemental, Computer Savvy, Music Lover, Book Lover, Art Lover, Love Lover, Terminally Romantic, Honest (See judgemental), Great Smile.I think that should cover it for now. . .oh yeah and. . . ALBUM OUT ON iTunes!!!! GET IT NOW!!!ERICA CANALES: Five Seven Seven

Soulful Pop Rock, A Sultry Demeanor & Powerhouse Vocals.

Check me out in the new Chris Rock movie I THINK I LOVE MY WIFE. I recorded the Burt Bacharach classic "Look of Love" with the incredible jazz legend Marcus Miller. It will be in theaters this March!!!!
