The first song that you hear - 'Do you Believe', is a sample of the studio version, just a taste of what is to come. The second 'Do you believe' was recorded live acoustic and very raw at Worship Centre in Brisbane, Australia -This song represents a God that I am honored to Serve. It is a song of thanks to God for his Grace, His Joy, and for his endless Love for me. "Day by day little by little you show me your Grace my faith is renewed.... In your presence is your Joy cause I am the apple of your eye". God continues to show us his Grace in all things and the only place to find fullness of Joy is in HIS presence.
I had a melody in my head and a few words at the time and while recording the full version a great friend of mine Liviana who is also an audio engineer had a melody and a few words here and there. So after throwing around lyrics "Do you Believe" was born. Unfortunately I am not a singer so I had a friend sing it for me - Justin, he did an amazing job. As you'll here, Justin thought I dropped my pick. Well I didn't, I got a major cramp, but as a little fun we left that in the session. Sweet Rain is more of a soundtrack but could easily be turned into a song. I hope your blessed.
A little about me: Life is good! I'm a pretty easy going person, I like peace and quiet but I love the sounds of laughter when I'm with my family and be where there is Joy. Simplicity impresses me. I exploring photography and have a site at Flickr - I'm also a chef and started training when I was 15 - got my degree and 18.5 and was nominated for apprentice of the year. I worked in many different restaurants from Italian, Lebanese and various others. I like to be organized yet spontaneous - to enjoy life. I attained business degree at 23 and owned my own business - Mustard Seed Productions at 22.
I adapt to pretty much any situation or circumstance! I'm a born again Christian and have been fortunate to know Jesus since the age of 7. Knowing Jesus personally is the best thing that ever happened to me, and I am grateful everyday for His grace and Love. I love to worship God with my guitar - that has got to be one of the greatest pleasures in life for me. I Started learning the drums at age 8 and was playing in Church by age 10. Guitar always intrigued me, so I started learning at 11 and was playing with the church band at around 13. By 14 I realized that I needed to focus on one instrument, so I chose guitar. It is a sweet comfort for me. I would sit in my room with the door shut for hours and play until I got "The Knock" at the door from my mum - " Turn it down" - (then I wouldn't quit, I'd just play quietly!) I've been so blessed to have been taught by one of the best guitarists in Australia - he blows my mind. Phill and I used to do this incredible Irish set, that was fun. I playing around with cinematic and orchestral sounds, it's fun to make something from nothing. I enjoy helping people, the poor and needy. I sponsor a beautiful young lady- Agnes who is just 6 yrs old through World Vision. My family live by the ocean so the beach usually means time out, the crashing of the waves, the sand between my toes, pelicans sitting on lightpoles and that sticky feeling you get from all the salt in the air. A great place to re-focus. Traveling I love. I drink to much coffee, and good chocolate is one of my weaknesses. I've worked hard, and have been all around Australia and to the States twice and met some UH-MAZ-ING people, that only God could place in my path. I am trying my hand a photography..... Beauty can be caught within the simple pleasures. My desire in life is to be brave and have no regrets of what "could of happened". To be wise and humble in the persuit of the call and to communicate my Jesus in such a way that people fall to there knees and cry out to the King.
