Hope

I am a singer/songwriter trying to make it in the crazy business of music. It has been a difficult road so far, but with all the music sites I have out there, I'm hoping something will spark a fire with someone. I have been writing my own songs for about 10 years now. The music industry is hard to get into when you're trying to do it all by yourself. I have met some very talented musicians and songwriters along the way. Some, I have talked into playing for me or co-writing with me. I send my songs out to many different possibilities, so I'm hoping 2009 is my year to break through! I did recently win a song contest online, which was great. I shared 1st place in the judges category in that contest and won $400. I enter contests as often as I can just to get my songs in the hands of important music industry people. My ultimate goal is to be the writing force behind some of the songs that you hear on the radio today. I write mostly pop and country, but I am pretty flexible when it comes to writing. I just write what I think sounds good and what I think the listening public would enjoy. I tend to write mostly from my own life's experiences and also from other's experiences. Reality-based lyrics is what I tend to try to hook the listener in with. If I can touch someone's life with what I write, then I am on the right track. I enjoy when someone comes up to me after hearing me sing one of my songs and says, "I really loved that song. It made me feel like I was right there in the moment, feeling what you were feeling. I've been there too. I know what you feel." That means more to me than anything.I want to thank my fans, family, and friends for supporting me all these years. Without your continuing support, I wouldn't be here doing what I love to do. So, thank you from the bottom of my heart. May God Bless you all.If you've landed on this site with me, please take a listen to some of my songs. Hit me back with a comment or message. I hope you enjoy my music and I hope that it will touch you in some way.All my love Hope
