10 November 08 - 13:45my amazing and heart braking dream of Jeff Buckley
So this blog is sorta hard to type with-out tearing up.
This dream was so real I woke up in tears.
So on with the dream....
Dreamed I was in a parallel world.
I knew it was not this world ,I was aware of this in my dream.
The world was just as this world, except Jeff Buckley was alive.
I dreamed that I was going to see him play in a club, the club was very 1930's
after he played a song I do not know on this plane..he asked me to go in the recording studio with me. So of course I'm gonna go. All the sudden I'm in this recording studio and he was having trouble trying to decide what to record..I started singing "Satisfied mind" To him and he asked me about the song and I said he had sang it before on the world I was on.
So, I explained to him that he was deceased on my world and we missed him dearly.
He had a sad look on his face and asked me what other songs did he sing and sing them for him. So I sang Hallelujah. ...

22 October 08 - 06:07New album title
So I think I will be calling my new album "How much for your heart"
it's one of my songs.
I think I will have a lot of fun recording this new album,it will be mostly jazz sounding.
It would be great if I could get some jazz musicians to play on it!
Oh don't forget to pick up my album "Nephilim Blood" you can get it from CD baby request your local music store to order it.
You can also get it from Itunes ,amazon etc.
Lotta love

12 October 08 - 08:51Interview W/Crystal Sunshine
This is my exclusive interview w/Crystal Sunshine, a hot up and coming Singer/songwriter/piano player from Texas who's music I would describe as a combination of pop/goth/and Jazz all rolled into one....Quite a wicked combination I know but I must tell you that that Crystal Sunshine's music comes across as quite original and it is my belief that she has what it takes to break out in a very big way if people would just give her music a listen.
1. Rock Zone: - How long have you been a professional musician?
CS: - Jeeze, for a while now, it's just taken a while to get anywhere with it. LOL.....But I guess I have really been doing this Piano girl thing for about 12 years or so.
2. Rock Zone: - Who were the bands/musicians who had the greatest influence on you?
CS: - Well when I was younger about 11 or so I was a huge Metallica and Guns N Roses fan as I grew into my ...

29 July 08 - 19:00I'm truly blessed
I know I’ve already mentioned how excited, I am to finally have my new album “Nephilim Blood “ finished.
It’s been a long hard process; we started planning and recording demos almost two years ago. On the other hand it’s been a very good learning experience, working late every night in the studio. We cut about thirty-five demos then, then picked the twelve songs for the album. I was blessed to work with a producer who was willing, and weird enough to experiment with my music. Thanks goes to my producer, Gene McFatter, this talented guy is a genius, and will try anything to get the sound he wants. He made me step-up on the vocals. I thought we would hire out the backing vocals, but he said I should do them all. It was hell, but I learned to sing them, and the results speak for themselves.
I'm truly blessed ! I never thought my art would be something amazing.
In a way....Gene has saved my life.
27 July 08 - 02:21my album is done!!!!!
Yeahhhhh !!! My album is done! I'm sooo excited! I have worked hard on this bitch..it better be worth it! ;)
Thanks to Gene McFatter ,I would have never got it done.
So who's ready to get my album?
You better be ready!!!!!
17 July 08 - 09:49something to blog about!
Soo I can't sleep ..(what else is new..lol) and I was searching for some old class-mates and such..
(ya know.. the ones who always tell you your never going to amount to anything.. or the ones that pushed you around back in high school.)
It just fueled my anger to want to succeed..in this music thing.
Ya know the best revenge is success!
I remember having this friend..(well at the time ,I thought was a friend) who when I first started out in my art..was so insanely jealous, it was hilarious !
I mean, I would want to share my art with this person and all the sudden she would become violently ill and tell me she can't listen to it or whatever because she became sick.
Like Mike Patton say's in some lyrics "It's always funny in-till someone gets hurt, then it's just hilarious!"
Mike Patton is a genius! LOL
...anyways, thats my rant for this earily morning!
15 July 08 - 02:47Me has a fan!
