Sing to be heard

About Me

Basic Stuff: My name is Laura Rodriguez. I go to Eastern Michigan University for Interior Design. I play piano and write songs in my ever so diminishing "spare time". I love photography, singing, Ypsilanti/Ann Arbor, college... when I'm not in class, New York, the arts, and beer. :-) Music: is me. Its my world and for some reason it always has been. Its been the one thing in my life that could make me forget every bad thing, or every good thing... my one consistant motivator. Music moves me. I'm into hooks... the kind of song that will either stay with you for the whole day, or make your soul stir when you hear it. My music is not finished. I'm still writing and when I'm ready I will begin to put all the pieces together. In all honesty, I dont want to be an interior designer. I really enjoy it, but I am a musician. Its funny because there have been times when I've tried to forget music all together... really tried to leave it behind for the more "conventional life". But I'm not me without it... I dont feel whole. Ah well... I dont know... half the time I dont know what I want to do with my life. As long as things continue to go well, I'm content. You know what, I think it would be awesome to be on American Idol... its a total rip off show, and they make fun of people for "television" and good ratings... but it would be sweet... just because I think its something that will go down in history... This big phenomenon that the country obsessed over for 10 years or so. I'd really like to make history, or atleast be a part of it. My experience in this field includes winning several talent competitions, being in cover bands, singing for weddings and telethons, going to AMDA in New York for musical theatre, and now writing my own songs. But the only place to go is up. I need to become something. I need to become that person that I've always dreamed of being. About Me: I'm funny. haha... I just like to laugh... most of the time its at myself. I am really really clumsy. Ask my friends, they'll tell you. When I get talking about music, like I just did up there, I'm really deep and passionate and what not, but other than that I'm a pretty laid back, no drama, have fun all the time type of individual. So um... yes... I hope you enjoy my songs. Let me know what you think! I'm ready to meet anyone and everyone in the music industry. It's about time to get this thing rolling... I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4 YOU CAN NOW VOTE FOR ME AT www.ARTISTSILOVE.com!!! VOTE ONCE A DAY! Heres a video clip of some friends of mine and myself singing "Seasons of Love". Its more for laughs than anything else! ..

Just about the best lyrics ever...

I wanted freedom
bound and restricted
I tried to give you up
but I'm addicted
now that you know I'm trapped
sense of elation
you'd never dream of
breaking this fixation

Muse, "Time is Running Out"
Influences: Evanescence, Kelly Clarkson, my brother, Yellowcard, Garbage, Aretha Franklin, Celine Dion, Norah Jones, Jewel, Sarah McLaughlin, Queen, Bon Jovi, Journey, Michelle Branch, Vanessa Carlton....
Sounds Like: I dont know... you tell me and then I'll try to make it sound more like myself! Since my music is still accoustic, it could develop into someting completely different when recording with a full band. Thats the really exciting part... having so many possiblities and directions that I can take with it, and still not really knowing what the end product is going to be. Anyone interested in working together? Send me a message with a link to your sound...
