so i was just browsing youtube and look what i found!!!!!!!!!!!! dang this is sooo cool..one of the best feelings ever!!! thanks serena!!I'm a simple girl....a tall girl...5'11 to be exact...no, i didn't play volleyball or basketball...i tried modeling and i hated it...i am actually a former ballerina, tap dancer, baton twirler, gymnast, xylaphone player, (that's how i started writing songs when i was 8!) tree climber, lizard catcher, rollerskater, shower singer turned professional musician!!! it didn't happen overnight though....my parents wouldn't let me take singing lessons, so i just went ahead and took private lessons from a lady by the name of AMEL LARRIEUX...so private that she wasn't there...you see, i would tape the GROOVE THEORY (group she was in at the time) lyric sheet on the outside of the shower and take a cold shower so the glass wouldn't fog up and i would sing the whole album from beginning to end...then BRANDY came along and tought me a few things...then, i went to a LAURYN HILL concert...acoustic...and cried...i went out the next day and put a guitar on layaway...and saved my pennies until i could take it home!!! it gathered dust for a while, until i met a lovely young lady named HOPE who introduced me to the idea of singing on the third street promenade. she was the promenade veteran...but in order to play out there without a backing track, meant i had to learn to play the guitar...so her kind brother taught me a few chords an how to pick and what not...i went home and wrote a song called "beautiful eyes", and here i am today!!! i have been playing on the promenade for about a year and a half, and have since sold over 10,000 cd's...i am proud to say that i am finally a full time musician!!! i have an amazing team...read my blog above "it takes teamwork to make a dream work"...now this is the abriged version of my life...there is sooooooo much more between the lines...i will reveal in time!!! and also please check out my TOP FRIENDS...these are all dope creative souls who deserve your support!!! also, check out my acoustic album...it has 12 original songs including a duet with JOHN WEST and it's only $10SHOW YOUR SUPPORT and add my widget thingamajig to your page!!! it would make me the happiest gal on the planet, and your picture will even be added to the little slideshow at the bottom :-) you ROCK!!!
