The Big Picture

I've been wanting to write more blogs, be more active on here but there's just so much music flowing out of me lately that I've started to love twitter much more. It's short and to the point and I'm still connected to the world.

It's hard for me to stay focused. My mind is always working. I've got so many things in my head, there are so many roads to explore, so many things I want to do.

For the past two weeks, I've getting up at 7am, doing my power walk with my fabulous man. This is huge for me; I don't get up early, even though I love the morning vibe, the smell in the air, everything is still slightly damp and quite.





Now, I don't mind it at all, half way into my first round in the park, I feel energized, alive, happy, motivated and already accomplished. I've been also going hiking quite a bit lately, more than usual, there are so many beautiful spots here in LA. It's just magical. I am a nature girl. Anything outside makes me smile, the dogs, squirrels, trees, flowers, the ocean, the people.



Life has been pretty magical lately, many changes are happening and they are all good and exciting. I feel closer to a lot of my friends and extremely grateful for them.

PS: I can't wait to share my and our new music with the world, with that said, I better get back to my music. While my focus is on the big picture, I take one step at a time. I'm so excited but have to be a little bit patient right now:)

Memorial Day Weekend..it's so quiet

As exciting and fun it is to be a musician, to have a band, the ability to create and do what I love, sometimes it's frustrating the hell out of me. Technical stuff turns my creativity off.

I do love my new laptop, I finally got it to work. I am getting myself ready to go on the road and still be able to write/record music. I've never been the kind of person who just writes and keeps the idea in my head; I've got too many of those and forget them just as easily as they come to me. I have to record them. Funny thing is sometimes I listen to songs I wrote and I don't even remember writing them. Sometimes I'm amazed, like wow, I did that? lol I love those moments and I need those because they inspire me to keep going.

We are in the middle of booking a tour and doing a radio promo. While there's a lot going on, it seems like nothing is happening. But it's the same in a battlefield, you never know when the bombs go off. Right now it's really important to make good use of my time and resources.

Of course there's the JVB solo album rotting in my old computer as well as a concept album...[yes a new OD album] floating in the back of my head. I think it would be wise to use all this very intense frustration to create. I'm kinda tired of the very polished sound and crave something a bit more raw and imperfect. I just have to walk over to the studio computer and get started, for some reason it seems very hard, wtf?...the constant battle of me and myself.

Off I go to feed my soul.
