ABOUT ME
Singer/Songwriter
(Born to be blue)
"Creativity is a drug I cannot live without."
Cecil B. DeMille
Okay, I have decided to try and write as much as possible in this section in order to cover the long, long, long row of black nothingness below before you reach the friends/comments section.
Background
I was born in Bruxelles, Belgium, moved to Los Angeles at age 8, lived in LA most my life until moving to NYC but I'm so moving back to LA (you don't realize how much you miss a place until you leave it). I love all that is Gothic (no not pale face poser makeup, the real thing) from the architecture to art, music to apparel. I love everything old (pre-1960) lifesyle, films, music, cloths, books, everything.Both sides of my family are in the arts. My mom was an opera singer, my dad a soloist concert violinist, his sister a concert pianist, and his brother a Tenor (Operetta). My mom's mom was a professional dancer as was my mom's sister & her brother a child actor. So, I'm kind of all over the map when it comes to my musical taste and likes. My voice is more on the classical side, but my soul is more on the Jazz side and temperment, well, I'm a funk queen (I LOVE to dance)!!!!
Music
When it comes to being a musician, my motto is learn everything you can, then forget it! Too much technical knowledge can kill creativity. And to me the essential gift is soul and I mean gift. Just about anyone can sing or learn to play, (just look at American Idol if you can stomach it), but not everyone has the gift of soul & pure talent. I’ve heard plenty of singers with beautiful voices; guitarists with impeccable technical skills, even good dancers, but none leaving a mark -- you’re just left thinking that was good -- not OMG, or even better being left absolutely speechless because you are so moved. Musicians like that are not easy to come by but I think people are loosing the ability to see/hear that.
Songwriting
As a songwriter, I'm old school. I like to write music that mean something, lyrics with substance and a story to tell to the perfect melody.
Traveling
I love, and I mean love to travel, especially abroad (the farther the better)... I wish I could do it all the time, but the lack of millions of dollars obviously won't permit this luxury. I have been lucky enough to have gone to quite a few countries thus far, but surely not as many as I would like to visit.
The Haunt
