THE MUSIC
I currently have a full length album of unfinished songs laid down. My
desire is to hire some studio musicians to add their talent and
creativity to take the music to the next level. Then of course there is mixing/mastering and CD manufacturing.
I have been singing since I was a little girl. I was raised in a very musical family where exotic instruments were
celebrated. Naturally I developed a love for them as well! I remember listening to Enya and falling in love with her ethereal type vocals. As a little girl I used to sit in front of my dad's microphone and reverb pedals and sing for hours! My music
combines this type of vocal styling with earthy, exotic, ethnic instruments intertwined with modern, electronics and
dancy soundscapes.
THE PERKS
The main perk to making a contribution is receiving the pre-leased album. I am also a painter and jewelry artisan, and am offering art prints, original paintings and gift certificates to my online store to purchase my hand made jewelry. Here are some examples of my art and jewelry below:
