So this is what I've been working on for about two months now. I now have an official guitarist/wingman named Ezra S. I have a "recital" concert with my MXM familia and I have been writing like crazy. This has really churned every last bit of musical yearning inside me to just do it. I want it so bad my heart aches for it. I will be performing four songs. One original,two covers and a duet/medley.Just a short update as to where music has been :) well at least the performance part. Growing everyday
Catching up is long overdue :)
So I have been away growing. I did a youtube video explaining this so I will post below. I did a little web disappearance trying to figure out how music and all this social media fit into my life. I hope the video fills you in a little I have more to say and pictures to post in this adventure.
So after The Bitter End (which I also designed the event posters and flyers to (wink wink)) I performed backup at an event "Called Stairway to the Dream" I was a back up singer along with Hema Nair to the headlining act. The graceful Japanese singerRainybirds(Ryoko Fujimoto). It was so much fun! I got to shake my stuff and had a great opportunity to just learn, grow and network. I met the fastest drummer in the world Jotan Afanador who plays for many amazing artists like bachata group Aventura and Romeo and more. He was great with stories for days and just an overall good person to be around.
What's next? If you didn't know I am a part of a music community here in NYC called the MXM. November 27 we are performing at the Sheraton Hotel in Flushing Queens. This is a big deal for us guys this is our first seriously big event.
For me it's seriously a mess of firsts.
The first time I will be performing more than 1 song live as a solo artist.
The first time I play my guitar live
The first time I will sing any originals live
I would love if you all could join me on this journey. It's a bit surreal I'm practicing my songs till my fingers turn purple. I'm investing in my craft with vocal lessons defiantly going to take on that piano when I can. It's teaching me to go after the things that I want. Not only musically but in my design career I'm going hard no matter what I'm going to make it as something. I don't care what plans fail I'll just make more until one of them wins..

"Flags"
Come, tell me your trouble
I'm not your answer
But I'm a listening ear
Reality has left you reeling
All facts and no feeling
No faith and all fear
I don't know why a good man will fall
While a wicked one stands
And our lives blow about
Like flags on the land
Who's at fault is not important
Good intentions lie dormant
And we're all to blame
While apathy acts like an ally
My enemy and I are one and the same
I don't know why the innocents fall
While the monsters still stand
And our lives blow about
Like flags on the land
I don't know why our words are so proud
Yet their promise soothing
And our lives blow about
Like flags in the wind
Oh oh oh oh
You who mourn will be comforted
You who hunger will hunger no more
All the last shall be first
Of this I am sure
You who weep now will laugh again
All you lonely be lonely no more
Yes, the last will be first
Of this I'm sure
I don't know why the innocents fall
While the monsters stand
I don't know why the little ones thirst
But I know the last shall be first
I know the last shall be first
I know the last shall be first
Haven't updated you in a while but I did audition for X Factor:) Completly fell apart when audition time came around, BUT it was a great expirience and I'd do it again. The thing is this is my first year where I thought hey I can really do this. I can pursue my love for music even with my massive nerves to work with even if people tell you no. I've never had to perform before but I'm doing so much I never thought I could because of fear. So here's to taking chances and chasing after your hearts desires no matter what even if they aren't the same tomorrow.
Dysfunctional much? Maybe.... But P!nk kicks some serious ass when it comes to not caring what people think about her... Her music is real and raw to the bone especially in her album Fun House you can feel the emotion wrapped around every lyric sung all coming from her life's experience.
I've been a fan of hers since jr high her music gave me a sense of strength it's ok to be kind of crazy as long as your ok with it, lol.
Not only is her music great but her attitude is. She's a total bad ass and doesnt have to be like every barbie doll "pretty" in Hollywood she rocks short hair and edgy style and an attitude that I admire.
Who gives a crap about what everyone else has to say. Her Fun House albums has cradled me through a tough breakup or two and the song "So What" has taught me to take the situation with stride lol Funny right? It's sarcasm but it works. Make fun of it until you really just don't care about the situation anymore. Maybe that's a little sad but she's a bit of an antidote for me to get over and just not care this life's the only life you're given so live it to the fullest .
P!nk Qoutes
"It's about being alive and feisty and not sitting down and shutting up even though people would like you to." - Pink
" People are always so surprised when they meet me. Firstly, that I'm 'so tiny', and secondly that I'm 'so sweet'. They seem surprised that they're not scared of me. The aggressive side of me comes across in my music, but I'm just a sweet girl."
"Have you ever looked fear in the face and said I just don't care"
wash my eyes and you might see
into the deepest depths of me
I've tried but failed to make you see
that you became a part of me
and every day that your away
my heart burrows deep inside of me
I've prayed and prayed that you would see
what you're missing without me
The selfish prayer I once held tight
I've since let go and changed my heart
but still I pray for you to see
I pray my heart would set you free
