About Me

Read my VisualDNA ™ Get your own VisualDNA™I am a mother, a very happily married woman, an entrepreneur, a musician and an extremely grateful person with alot of spunk and big dreams.
I can't seem to breathe without creating music. I HAVE to do it, regardless, gotta make music, it's running through my veins, pulsing, controlling me every waking moment. Sooo, after a few years away from it I'm back to writing, singing and getting ready to gig again when I'm not working.
Actually, aside from music, I love to create just about anything; ad campaigns, poetry, articles. It's all rewarding for me. I just can't draw worth a dime.
I never sleep, but there are women on the other side of the globe who do superhuman amounts of work every day, clean, cook, raise children and so-on. So I can't complain.
I try to have patience for ignorant, judgemental people, but it's hard. Tolerance of lifestyles, gender issues and generally everyone's ability to express their true selves should be common-friggin-sense!
I have zero patience for bad parents w/excuses.
I love children, including my own 17 year-old and 4 year-old boys.
I am forever in awe of the beautiful things in the world, the rainforest, a baby, flowers, puppies, art, philosophy, the ocean....
I am constatnly saddened by the crimes we create against our fellow brothers and sisters every day, as evidenced by the evening news.
I dream of a better world for our children and enjoy the goodness I find today.
Politics? I'm a liberal conservative.

Music:

Member Since: 22/05/2004
Band Website: http://danay.net
Influences:

damn, where do I begin? Like everyone else I the world, I'm influenced by everything, the Spanish music I grew up listening to cause of my folks, the blues & jazz I dug since I was too little to really know how damn good it was, and the rock, pop & rap I listened to as a kid & teen.

Billie Holiday, Etta, Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder , Sting & The Police, Souxie & The Banshees, Michael Jackson (old stuff), Tori Amos , Miles Davis, Morcheeba , David Bowie , Queen, Chic Corea, David Holmes, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts , Pat Benatar , BB King , Hendrix , Chemical Brothers, Pink Floyd, Thievery Corp and so many more.


Sounds Like: MUSICALLY
if Aretha Franklin

and BB King

had a kid together, and that kid married
Celine Dion

& Freddy Mercury's kid

maybe, that would be what I sound like.
LOL
or maybe not.

Keep marriage what it is - a union

I hate getting overly political, but the fact that this is even an issue majorly annoys me. I am married and I think every adult human being of sound mind has the same right.  It is a legal contr...
