From “The Color Purple”….to my latest Photoshoot
This weekend was super busy! Thursday night my mom was in town and we went to see “The Color Purple” the musical. It was amazing. I didn’t even know Michelle Williams was in it until she stepped on stage. She was amazing and so was Jeannette Bayardelle who played the lead role of Celie. I forgot how much I love live theater and musicals. The talent it takes to perform so flawlessly on a LIVE stage is inspiring! If you live or will be visiting the LA area, you should definitely go see the show at the Ahmanson Theater. It will be running until March 9, 2008.
I’ve been trying to finish singing and mixing a bunch of demos for songs I’ve written that are being submitted to different artists. Lot’s of work, but it’s always fun. Saturday I sang and wrote on this song that’s going to be used for the website of this new clothing line called “M The Movement”. As soon as the song is posted on the site I will let you guys know and later I’ll be posting the song on my myspace page as well.
Then Sunday I did a test shoot with photographer, Anthony “Thosh” Collins. The shots look amazing! I’ll post them soon. You can check out Anthony’s work by clicking here. We’re going to do another full blown shoot in the near future and I can’t wait. The shots we did this weekend were done with only a hairstylist because the makeup artist had an emergency and couldn’t make it. So I did my own makeup with just the little bit I had in my purse! Talk about making due! And even so, they still came out great. I can’t wait to share so stay tuned for that.
And last, but not least, I still need to post some new video from my last few sessions with Jean-Marie Horvat and some other writing sessions as well. I just need to find some time to go through and edit the video! (Because I know you guys don’t want to sit there and watch hours of footage haha!)
Have a great week! I’ll be back

I’m in the ZONE!
I just got home from an amazing vocal session with Jean-Marie!!! It was incredible. I’ve never felt so free and in the pocket singing wise. I just felt like I was out of my body. It felt so wonderful. I was so in the zone that when I got back in the control room to listen back, I couldn’t believe it was even me singing. I’m completely attributing this to Jean-Marie’s amazing skills as a producer as well as my new practice of Bikram yoga and meditation. I know that probably sounds strange, but I just started practicing Bikram yoga and its helping with my breathing tremendously, not to mention my overall physical strength and flexibility. I used to practice Taekwondo on an elite level, competitively for years and Bikram gives me that same sense of mental strength I found in Taekwondo. That mental strength helps me get into a centered place and I really felt the benefits of that tonight in the studio.
So overall it was a truly inspiring experience and it looks like we have another single contender! I’m really proud of this song and I can’t wait to share it with you guys. I’ll be posting up video soon from the session!
peace and blessings!
