Miette

music is something greater than we'll ever know.

About Me


music runs through my blood like water runs downhill. i'm fascinated with life.. emotion is something to be embraced. passion is admired. i obsess over sound, i sing to myself, i sing to other people, i like the way birds sound up in the mountains. i'm a dreamer of all sorts, i believe everything is a possibility, and someday i plan on changing the world. so love my music or not, it's breathable and it resonates. mm mm good. :o)

Influences: my mom used to sing to me every night before i went to sleep, and my dad was in a barbershop quartet. my one big brother taught me how to play some piano, another one practically raised me with soundtracks, classical, and video game music, the other let me jump on his bed when he was playing van halen. my sister was into victorian art, and taught me to be beautiful. i'm pretty sure the rest just came with time. :)

go through your things. get rid of the junk.start with crumpled receipts and old napkins.scraps of plastic, pieces of old tape.who needs those things anyway?then move your way up to the bigger things....
