Life is a gift. Everyday I realize this more and more and cherish the blessings I have been so graciously given. I am undeserving of the hand of cards I have been dealt, but hope to pass on my blessings to those less unfortunate.
Music has been my love, my passion, my focus, and if used correctly, can be a tool to inspire and change the world. It has been the driving force that has given me hope, and has occupied my dreams since my childhood. I have discovered something much bigger than myself, and it lives inside me and everyone else if we can find it.
Music has been my lifelong refuge and has only given, never taken from me, though has every reason to forget me. As beautiful as it is, it inspires me to forget all that is superficial and surrender to its message. Because of music I have found my calling and my purpose. Regardless of any amounts of my worldly success, I have achieved something much bigger. I have truly found what I love most; Making Music."
My Autobiography
My mom had me start piano lessons when I was about 4 years old. I still remember sitting on my chair and dangling my feet off of the sides because I was too small to touch the ground. We lived in Lovington NM, a small town populated at about 8,000 people. My mom told me I could take lessons for a year and then decide if I wanted to continue. I objected but finally gave in to my mother's wishes.At that age I started writing silly songs about things Maceroni and Cheese and recording them onto little tapes. Instead of the typical hairbrush, I sang in front of my mirror using pens and markers so I could practice. At age 5 I was ready to hit the stage, so I did. My first performance was on a kitchen table in my grandma's house. The kitchen light was my spotlight and my family was my crowd. :)
I started taking parts in school plays and musical events. I started writing classical music when I was about 7 years old and practiced while I wrapped toilet paper around my eyes so that I could play when the lights were off. I always told myself that one day I would perform on stage blindfolded so that I could display what I had been practicing.
I continued to do talent shows and practicing in front of my mirror. As I continued into high school I decided that I wanted to be a concert pianist so I started doing competitions in Lubbock, Roswell, California, and other places. It was my first step into competing with the rest of the region's talents. We would play songs by Beethoven, Bach, etc. and were judged on who played it the best. It was amazing to perform in the auditorium at Texas Tech at such a young age.
When I was 16 I decided that I wanted to try a different route. I quit taking piano lessons and focused more on writing my own classical music. Progressing through high school I set my heart on being accepted into Julliard. Because I wrote music, I wanted to major in Musical Composition. I submitted the sheet music to my original compositions "Vevaci" and "Tuesday". Clips of these two pieces can be heard on KristineMirelle.com I went to NYC when I was 17 to audition but I was not accepted. It wasn't disappointing, I just knew I had to work harder.
