About Me

***ATTENTION*** Bands/singers/producers, please direct all music inquiries and friend requests to my music page, as I am switching this page to be a spot for those closest to me. Peace and Progress.
Learning from life, absorbing lessons, and moving on. Im in a constant state of growth and change and lovin it. Gotta do me!
The times are changing, people in my life are shifting, and through it all, I am making great strides towards the woman that I want to be. Life is moving in a positive direction, and I really can't complain about anything. Taking it one day at a time, making sure that I stop and appreciate the beauty around me, ridding myself of negative energy, and giving love in abundance. Life is good and getting better all the time.
I am a singer, aspiring sanger, who is learning new things about music and my voice everyday. There is absolutely nothing about music that I don't love, and I am enjoying learning more about my voice and pushing myself to new heights. Its been a hell of a journey, but I still have a great long ride coming that im looking forward to.
Check out my music and upcoming events on my music page, Rashida Chase in my Top 8!

My Interests

Music is my primary concern and preoccupation in life! Nothing like a good song to get you right. Singing, reading, exploring, travelling (hopefully more soon), learning new things, cooking, relaxing, meeting and being around entertaining, silly ass people who don't take themselves too seriously.
Your Birthdate: August 30
You have the type of personality that people either love or hate.
You're opinionated, dramatic, intense, and very outspoken.
And some people can't get enough of you - they're totally addicted.
Others, well, they wish you were a little more reserved.

Your strength: Your flair

Your weakness: If you think it, you say it

Your power color: Scarlet red

Your power symbol: Inverted triangle

Your power month: March What Does Your Birth Date Mean?I scored a 93% on the "HOW OAKLAND ARE YOU?" Quizie! What about you?

I'd like to meet:

Musicians, artists of all kinds, cool ass drama free people who dont take themselves too seriously, and like to get a lil ignorant and silly sometimes. As long as its positive, im down. Keep that negative shit to yourself!!! Im soooo serious.

Music:

I've been referred to a couple of times now as a Soul Head. I don't deny this at all. There is something about listening to and singing soul music that touches me in a place no one can reach. One thing my mama always told me about music, don't ever listen to anything that you can't understand (jibberish) they may be talking about worshipping the devil for all you know, and don't limit yourself in the kinds of music that you like. It is because of this that I listen to (and try to be open to) just about anything, even country (there's some good stories in there y'all). Some of it, "if I dont like it, I dont like it, that don't mean that i'm hatin'", so says brotha Common, and I concur. Im willing to give it all a shot though.

Movies:

trailer-fall-google.mov



Before the Music Dies. Im kind of a dork when it comes to the movies that I like, but the great thing about it is...I dont care! HA! Im a kid at heart, what can I say? Here are some of my favorites: The Princess Bride, Coming to America, The Color Purple, Team America:World Police, Labyrinth, Napoleon Dynamite, The Dark Crystal, Purple Rain, Half Baked, Pirates of the Caribbean, American Wedding, Kill Bill, Minority Report, Harold and Kumar go to White Castle, The Transporter, Chronicles of Narnia, Chocolat, The Rundown, Devil's Advocate, Lord of the Rings trilogy, Goonies, Friday After Next, Stewie Griffin:The Untold Story ("what the deuce?!") damn, more later...

Television:

Boondocks, Family Guy, Law & Order:SVU, Justice League, Being Bobby Brown, Everybody Hates Chris

Books:

Being Peace, The Bluest Eye, Courage: The Joy of Living Dangerously

Heroes:

My grandmama Corine...she was the most kind, loving, giving, encouraging, wonderful, and beautiful spirit I have EVER met. If I can be even a tenth of the woman that she was, I know I'll be alright in this life.......My mom (who was nominated for a Grammy this year in Best Choral Performance!!!) Im SO proud of her, and all that she's been able to do...trailblazing paths for young black women like me, my sisters and friends...she's an amazing woman.......Oprah...need I say more?!
