hello, my name is anthony powers. i love music with a passion. i hate people in general, but i love a lot of people as individuals. i work my ass off with my music and put my whole heart and soul into it, and if anyone doesn't like it or even respect it, i really don't care, because it's the music i want to make and it's important to me. my thinking is that a person doesn't have to be overly famous to be successful, but if you can write a song that can touch or change one single person's life, then you've made it. i'm not quite sure if i'm there or not, but i'm gonna keep trying. and if i get a band, i get a band, otherwise im happy where i am right now and am happy with what i do. m new cd WINTER KISSES, WINTER SCARS is finally finished and copies are going to be made soon and sold for a reasonable price. also, there's going to be a cd release party sometime at the begining of summer, so you'd better be there. there are also a limited number of pins available if you're interested. other than that, plan on being at the party and getting a copy of the cd, and i guess thats all for now, much love, and i hope to talk to you very soon.-anthony powers
