Hello everyone!
Well, it has been four years since my last album, Labyrinthine Heart, was released. During the past few years, I have been busy doing remixes for other artists (e.g. Vanessa Daou, Coury Palermo, Balligomingo, and Blue Stone) and slowly writing new materlal. To be entirely honest, due to a variety of circumstances (both business and personal), I felt like my creative spark was missing. Last Summer, however, I became a completely independent artist. Furthermore, some really wonderful things happened in my life on a personal level, and I began having a flood of musical ideas that I could not wait to record.
In the past, I always paid for the expenses associated with making my videos and producing my music out of my own pocket. A signifcant sum of money, and many (MANY!) hours of personal time went into creating my albums and the accompanying videos. As I began to hear from amazing people around the world who found my music and were moved in some way, I started to truly want to make music again. I decided that THIS time, I would ask for the support of the great fans from around the globe to help me in any way (small or large) to make more music and to shoot several new videos.
So here we are today! I already have an album's worth of songs sitting and ready to finish. I also want to shoot 3 more videos for the next 3 singles to be released from the album. I feel very excited about approaching all of you fantastic fans and seeing if you can help. You'll see that I am also offering a variety of unique and (hopefully) interesting things for those people who would like to assist.
The new album will feature a group of amazing vocalists—some that I’ve worked with before (Kirsty Hawkshaw, Zoe Johnston, Jody Quine, Joanna Stevens, Coury Palermo, Caroline Lavelle and Kristy Thirsk) as well as some new ones (Phildel, Carla Werner, Jill St. Thomas and others). The songs range from ethereal and haunting and to upbeat and affirming. I am just really looking forward to getting the new album finished—and with your help, I will! Thank you all so much for all of the support and love that you show me as an artist.
