Crazy, wonderful times had and to have!

Crazy, wonderful times had and to have!

Hey guys, so the creation of this EP I've started to call the Big Project, just cuz I know it's going to take awhile and I'm excited. Hope you'll join me for the ride, cuz it's going to be excited and I've love to have you there with me :)

Having built the back bones of the operation during a 12 hour studio session (which I documented on my blog, which you should check out *wink*) last night/this morning. When we all get back to boston from break and have had time to marinade in the tracks a little there will be much to get done come January. I hope you're ready for a roller-coaster ride (i almost typed troller-coaster ride.. because with these folks some trolling is bound to happen) because I intend to share it all with you, the drama and the music :). So with lots and lots of heart, I present, (potentially the next 6 months of my life)... The making of the Big Project.

be well and love lots.

Hi. It's been awhile.

So I think I owe you guys a little update,

this semester hasn't been the easiest. It's not so much that it's a summer semester... it's more that my voice took (and is taking) a while to get back on track. But hey, good things are worth waiting for yes? Praying that as I keep working on it, it'll get better. Should be putting up a new youtube video soon. I won't say when because as I've learned life will sometimes forget to send out the memo that it's going to throw lemons in your face, in which case there is no time or the right ingredients to make lemonade. In which case it's like sucking on acid.

I'm probably only grumpy because finals are coming up. And I'm pretty sure I'm not ready for them. Either way I wish you love and much good music.

<3

Reverbnation update!

Hello folks! What's the buzz!! I've put up two tunes on my Reverbnation artist page for you to check out, all for free! Here's the lowdown on the tracks:

'I'm Sorry'

First single that I ever got spun on 98.7fm, in fact, it's the first song I ever recorded and few people know, but I only co-wrote this song and to be completely honest, but co-write I mean I modified a few things and put in a line or two (maybe even just one, it was a long time ago). The song was mainly written by two of my good friends Dominic and Jeremy.

For peeps that've supported the song since it hit radiowaves 6 years ago, please drop a not on these dudes' walls and tell them they're awesome :)

Song was also featured on the MTV series "Rouge".

'Fight'

Written, recorded and performed with West Grand Boulevard, this song is super close to my heart and will always remain one of my favourite songs. I miss you boys. If you're in Singapore, please give 'em some love from me :) Their new album is coming out soon so look out for it!!

And gentle reminder, if you're in Boston on Feb 18th, you should come check THIS out.

Elise's Song (Original) - deetalk: The Acoustic Series

Elise's Song I saw forever in your eyes, But back then maybe I was blind. Cause smiles can do this, sometimes. And I tried, to read between the lines, Hoping that I might find, Something to hold on to, Something I could believe. But it's happened once or twice to me, This little monster called belief... Chorus There's something non-embarrassing about, Taking all your chances baby, I'm wearing all my thoughts on my sleeve. I fall apart at the seams, Can only seem to win in my dreams. I'm not the girl that gives up each time you look away. You give me butterflies, Even when I'm not feeling shy. I'll close my eyes, And for tonight, believe your lies. I still, still think of your embrace, There's so much you didn't say, Were my thoughts just in the way? And I guess, nothing was enough, You've ruined all my trust. But I'm coming back with hope that's stronger than, What was us, so now, I know I'm not afraid because, I'm so much more than you made me, love. Chorus And I'll paint my nails, I'll call my friends, I'll sit alone in my apartment, And life will go on, And I'll sing my song. Inside I'm beautiful and I know it. I know it.
