And for a short time vocal jingle for Jaanz school of singings weekly running show now on Aurora, Sundays 6.30I adore music. No, love music. There are many things I enjoy indulging in in life but music for me is one the ultimate. My thoughts, my voice and my soul combine and express what I feel within through melody. Quite frankly I do not care for the fame and fortune so much as I care to be heard and connect with others. I feel at my most powerful and most vulnerable when before an audience I share my passion and I guess the inner me. To relate to and feel at one with others- The human spirit, and human condition. As with appreciating another’s creativity. Growing up I never sang. In fact, hardly spoke. It was only at the age of fifteen by sheer accident my mother happened to arrive home early one day to hear me in one of my secret practise sessions.
It was that motherly pride and love that encouraged me to audition for a singing school, that from then on out, led me on a journey and pursuit of musicality, inspiration and self discovery. It’s fair to say that my childhood was at times a difficult one. I’m very much the underdog story in many ways which makes for much inspiration in my writing and in living life and my name seems quite symbolic in how I perceive and understand myself. "Durose" in french means "Of the rose". I guess just like a rose I have grown from and developed from a bud. Still stretching my petals and opening into full bloom I am not quite there yet. My thorns apart of my stem as are the sharp and what I would call the darker side to my life yet all beautifully apart of "the rose"
The music I am nurturing into full bloom is all there in the process. That interesting and unique creative process and I love it. My song I have on my page represents somewhat of my abilities as an artist, but to me there is a great deal more I aspire to express. My vocals quite strong and perhaps a little unpolished in this recording also have a softer more gentle sound that I enjoy as another flavour. So watch this space to soon hear some more. Thanks for stopping by.
