Vocalist, Songwriter, musician, aural artist...
Poet, dreamer and believer, eclectic soul...
controlled creative chaos...
My projects... Toxic Minds , Vatican of Sorrows ,
Sybylline , and More Than Mortal ...
and some yet undisclosed ;)
Although this profile is about the music end of things, you can drop
by my personal space for a slightly different "view"...
Creativity is a type of learning process where the teacher and pupil are located in the same individual.
~ Arthur Koestler
All children are artists. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.
~ Pablo Picasso
We are all born with creative spirits...
some have just forgotten how to still the world and listen within.
~ Luna
For me, creating is as natural and necessary as breathing...
as is sharing my creations... to please, to heal, to entertain... and to inspire.
My muse has many voices, ranging from the deeply technical to the beautifully artistic.
As I listen to whatever song she whispers in my ear, whatever divine impulse flashes within at any given time, I am perpetually and eclectically creatively engaged.
It makes for a very interesting existence ;)
My eclectic nature spills over to my songwriting and vocal style. As the daughter of a jazz trumpet player and an artist, those influences have been with me from an early age. I tend to "paint" with my voice, using the many varied hues in my palette.
My current projects, each different in style and vibe, will give you a taste of that musical multiplicity.
I have had the pleasure of writing with some very talented musicians. Each artist brings their own flavor into the mix, inspiring me to stretch my creative wings in different directions...
The interaction between different creative forces can have a kaleidoscopic effect...
the colors constantly change; no two "patterns" are ever the same...
the possibilites are endless...
Exploring and pushing the limits is the challenge I crave...and I enjoy working with musicians who are able to do the same... and do it with a professional mindset.
Dare to break out of your comfort zone!

Do you know who "I Am"?
( hint: the "I" is inside... )
I Am
the Force Majeure, life out of hand
The juggernaut you can't withstand
The journey's end, a method to the madness
You need
to open up your mind to me
release the chains to set you free
And let me put an end to all your sadness.

♥ to all...Luna
Who I'd like to meet:
Those with the grace and confidence in their own light not to be threatened by the glow of another.
People who:
- are masters of their own mind.
- allow themselves to dream... and believe.
- are responsible for... and can provide for... their own existence.
- create, think, feel, learn, work, love ... with tangible results.
- truly are in forward motion, reaching for the next level.
Teach me something new and I will return the gift.
I believe in the true spirit of partnership, where each person brings what they have to offer to the table and works hard toward the common goal.
"Investing" in a partnership requires giving more than that which doesn't cost you anything.
The synergy that is possible when each person lives that is amazing...
Who else I'd like to meet:
Trent Reznor, Jonathan Davis, Klayton, Dalbello...or their clones....
 
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves,
Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking
so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine, as children do.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear,
our presence automatically liberates others."
Our Deepest Fear
by Marianne Williamson from
A Return To Love: Reflections on the Principles of A Course in Miracles ...
Simple, yet powerful words for self reflection...
whatever your choice of faith.
May you all see and know your beautiful light that shines from within :)
Something's missing
but it's not quite clear
what you're looking for
around here
What you're craving
I've got what you need
sweet obsession
that'll make you bleed
The fever in your mind
the fire you can't deny
Screaming, crying, dreaming, dying
aching for it...

One evening, an old Cherokee was teaching his grandson about life...
He said, "My son, there is a battle between two "wolves" inside us all.
One wolf is Evil - he is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, competition, and ego.
The other is Good - he is joy, peace, love, hope, sharing, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, friendship, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith."
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: "Which wolf wins?"
The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."
- origin unknown
Something interesting I came across...
I thought it would be fun to see where my friends are from :)
