April 11th
Ok, it's time. Time for what you may aks? Well, time for me to get this musical train back up and rolling. I have found that nothing fulfills me like my music does. I have contacted Brian with Sound Decision Studios to get the ball going. Last I left off I only lacked vocals and mastering on my Demo. So bear with me as this starts up again. It's not going to be an easy task as I am still deployed and will be for quite some time, however, I am stateside, so I will be able to take leave and go to Atlanta every now and then to finish my demo. So...LA LA LA LA....LA LA LA LA...(that's me warming up my vocal cords)I will keep you updated!!!! Woo Woo!!!

I am in the Air National Guard, and in light of all that happened on September 11th, I have been deployed. Please remember the families and the victims in New York and Washington. In this time of need, this country needs prayers more than anything. Oh and one last thing.....GO USA!!!

Well, Reality has set in. It seems I am a day late and a dollar short, well more like several hundred dollars short. My demo is taking longer than expected and costing me more than hoped. At this time, I am not sure when my demo will be completed. I am trying to work out something with SDS to get at least the 3 songs for the demo completed so I can start shopping that. The EP may not happen until early next year. As I was told today "Welcome to the Music Biz". I will keep you all informed. In the meantime I am adding a few more rough clips to the My Music page. Check those out, and drop me a line if you like what you hear!!! TTFN!

DELAYS, DELAYS, DELAYS! Yes there have been some delays! The vocal session in the studio didn't quite go as planned. Instead of laying down vocal tracks we ended up doing all the guitar parts, bass parts and drum parts to the song "Sun, Moon, and Stars". Guitarist, Tim McGovern, laid down an acoustic track, two electric tracks, the bass track, and a guitar solo part. He is awesome! Thanks, Timmay!
I have officially decided to title my debut album "Sun, Moon and Stars"! I will be putting the graphic design work for the cover on the Photos page so keep checking for that! I hope to have the final vocals for the demo done by the 15th. So keep your ears prepped for the clips around that time. Although, I hope to have it done sooner!
July 27th
On July 23rd, I spent all day in the studio working with Brian and Dwight. I also had the priveledge to work with Keys player - Erik Bennett, Bassist - Joe Reda, and Guitarist - Rick Burgess. The music just seemed to flow! It was very exciting for me to hear MY music come to life! I made sure to take some pictures and will have them on the photo page soon! The vocals will be completed by July 30th!!!
I have added a new page to my site regarding a new song I have written on behalf of the Georgia Air National Guard's fight for the B1 Bombers. Please be sure to visit this site and the other sites listed on the page! I hope to record the song and get it to the 116th Bomb Wing by next week! You can skip to it by going here!
July 12th
Well Demo day is quickly approaching! I have been working with Tim of Delta9 Studios on some really great guitar tracks. You can hear clips from them on the My Music page. Keep checking back here, new things are happening almost everyday! One last thing....I went to my very first audition as a female vocalist on July 10th, while I didn't get the gig, I did enjoy the experience and have met some new people who love to play music! Mike, Thanks for everything!
July 5th
Things are moving so fast my head is spinning. Starting July 23rd, my demo will be a reality. SDS and I have completed the pre-production on three songs and will be setting the music that day! Keep you eyes and ears tuned in because you might be surprised and what you see and hear!!!
June 26th
This is the true Beginning!!! I am in pre-production of a 3 song Demo that will eventually become a 5 or 6 song EP, that as of yet is untitled. I am currently working with Brian and Dwight of Sound Decision Studios. They are helping me with the instrument accompaniments and the "tweaking" of my songs. I am very excited about this venture and believe it will be the best thing I have done thus far. Please keep visiting and hopefully soon you will hear some clips on the "My Music" page.
June 6th
Met with Brian of Sound Decision Studios and recorded an a cappella version of the Star Spangled Banner. It was the scariest and best time of my life. After my nerves settled down it was great. I plan on using the CD as an audition CD for the Atlanta Braves. Keep your eyes peeled you may see me at "the TED" singing soon. I will keep you posted!
