Summer. Summer? Summer!

Well, it’s Summer… In September. As per usual, the weather has been sporadic, and anytime the sun decides to shine, I have either been busy doing shows, teaching songwriting classes, or writing/recording new material which will be on my debut EP coming out this fall, Just Another Girl. However, the last few days here in lovely Vancouver have been more than decent, and I have officially developed a slight sunburn (I did lather myself in sun block, by the way). And, whilst the sun shines, I am finding opportunities are arising as well. I can’t really pin point any of them at the moment, as they are all still up in the air, but what I can tell you is I am extremely excited for my future endeavours in music, and I can’t wait to tell you all soon enough.

On another note, my blogging with Youthink Magazine continues, and I have two new articles up. The first is on schmoozing; a skill you have to acquire and certainly doesn’t come naturally to all (like my awkward self). You can read that blog here: http://www.youthink.ca/yt/blogs/musical-mind/how%20to%20schmooze. The second write-up is on getting your songs placed in television/film, with some useful tips from music supervisor Natasha Duprey. You can check that out here as well: http://www.youthink.ca/yt/blogs/musical-mind/how-get-your-music-placed-tv-and-film.

I’m not too sure if you have figured this out yet, but I absolutely love to write. I write everyday. I write every hour. I write until my fingers are sore and my hand is stuck in a pen-holding position. I love it. So, if you enjoy hearing me ramble and whatnot, I’d love for you to join my mailing list. It is a new feature with this new site, and I would love to start shooting off emails to you all with goodies like free downloads and samples of new, unreleased material (which I have, by the way!) and breaking news/tour info. So, if you feel like hopping on the music train, I’d love to journey with you as I pave my career, slowly and steadily.

I can’t really think of anything else to type of at this moment, other than I gave in and signed up for Canada’s Got Talent. There is definitely a sort of pride that comes to each and every self respecting musician that turns all egotistical when talking about reality must television shows, like we are better than it or something. But an opportunity is an opportunity, and who knows, right?

 

Ciao,
