A little about me...
Music has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. For those of you that know me it has, and always will be an important part of my life. I have been writing lyrics now since high school so about 11 years. Although some of those lyrics will never see the light of day ha-ha. What do I write about you ask? All of my lyrics are real and they are all based on my life experiences and challenges. I do not write fake lyrics...I hate that. Most of this has been self taught as I only had professional keyboard lessons for 1 year. I was surrounded by music at home, my dad loves to walk around singing, and my brother plays the guitar. My two elder sisters played music back in their school days. My brother and i have stuck with it.
I haven't really had much exposure to the music performance world. I just used to like singing for my friends. Sad I know :-p I have been playing the keyboard/piano now for 5 years. I saved like crazy to get my Roland HP103. Hence the music expedition began....
I found that when I was sitting at my piano I could write music to bring them to life. If I ever had a bad day, a break up, was in love, or just wanted to be alone, I'd go to my piano and just play. I let my emotions show in my lyrics and songs, perhaps that is a weakness....I feel too much.
Recently I have been working on a project with a friend of mine, known as St8ment in the music world (check out his myspace page!). St8ment has used my lyrics and theme of Can’t Breathe, creating the music, adding his musical talent. This project has fuelled my passion even more to create my music.
At the moment I am working on writing new lyrics and recording. I will hopefully have some lyrics and music clips up soon (hopefully before Christmas ha-ha).
