LET THE RELEASE BEGIN...

Quick August mission update! One Instrumental a day is going well, so much easier and faster and also a ton of fun!

First release of 31SI31D mission. This was actually the first song I wrote. Hope you enjoy.

A little more truth a little less bs

Happy 2010. Better late than never. hahahaha, are you fully back in your old routine? I hope not.

It's a new Decade, let's rock it! My year started off great with a cool NYE party with some of my best friends followed by an 80's Birthday Bash Party and NAMM.


We played the Friday Schecter Party, introduced a new song and I won a plug-in that I've had on my wish list for a while UAD2 Duo; plus a set of headphones from Monster. wohooooooooooo
Not to mention I met and talked to my favorite guitar player Robyn Fink at Saturday's Party. I had so much fun during NAMM. I'm still amazed how I got through the show, I had such a hang-over. Not smart to party the day before the show, but c'mon, sometimes you gotta do whatcha gotta do and with such amazing company how could I turn down an Asbach Uralt or a glas of Merlow. hahahaha (Well, I paid the price friday morning)


So here I am, I've been meaning to blog, even wanted to blog the entire NAMM show but I tend to be an extreme person with extreme ADD.

So many books too read, songs to finish, band stuff...blah blah blah...don't get me wrong, I love what I do; well....you get the idea. While I'm really striving for consistancy in regards to my online presence I have to admit that I'm either on or off all the way; which means a ton of posts or nothing at all.

I decided not to make any New Years Resolutions for 2010 since I never quite stick with them anyway, so instead I will do my best to commit to a daily blog, even if it's just a line to check in.

In all honestly I'm selfishly making myself feel more accountable if I have to write about my day (says who?...hahahaha...I do) And maybe I'll even promote this and get more followers, hee hee


Since I've been back from NAMM I've been kinda sick and haven't been in the mood to write music or I should say, energy. Instead I've been dealing with some business stuff I have been avoiding for some time. For some reason, it's always a drag to do the business crap, filling out a ton of forms, dealing with legalities. But it has to be done, so I've actually taken some time to get control over the situation and a clear picture of what is in place and what needs to be put in place.


Today I made a show flyer (out of two kinda crappy photo's I took of myself). hahahaha. Spend some time on facebook, myspace and reverbnation. Funny, the minute I sit down and do nothing, I feel like I haven't done a damn thing all day. While when at the end of the day when I write out my main accomplishments; I'm always amazed how much I got done; (talking about being to hard on myself).


Well, enough said, my theraflu is kicking in and I've got to finish reading "Mixerman" so I can move on with my life, hahahaha. True story or all bullshit, I'm digging it. And you know what?; it's all bullshit anyway but that's for another blog;)

Truly Yours,

It's Ga-Galishious

Here's the perfect world of music, art and fashion and who's really better these days than Lady GaGa? At least in today's music pop market? Love her or hate her, here's a great musician, singer/songwriter, performer, entertainer and artist!


What can I say? I'm a sucker for pop and I love different and extravagant! I liked Lady GaGa right from the beginning but really fell in love with her when I saw her during her 2009 VH1 Video Awards performance. I got chills. I understand many don't get her and were actually shocked and confused. When I started out with my band Otto's Daughter I used stage blood and crazy costumes, so her act truly resonates with me. I appreciate her weirdness and shock value to the masses and I'm glad someone out there on a major label is going to the extreme.


Ga Ga is Brittney meets Marilyn Manson, the perfect combination if you ask me. It's beautiful yet disturbing. Besides the visuals, her tracks are extremely hooky, you'll be singing along whether you like her or not! Ha! That's what hit songs do to you! She's got great lyrics and the pipes to back it all up. Not only that; she's a talented musician who has written several hit songs for other artists including Brittney and the Pussycat Dolls. Her latest video "Bad Romance" is beautiful, a great mixture of music, art and fashion, of course with Alexander McQueen in the mix how could it not be great? He's one of my favorite designers out there.

If you haven't yet, check out her new video here it is! "Bad Romance" Enjoy! Congrats Lady Ga Ga, I love you even more now. You not only deliver, you inspire the heck out of me! She's a perfect example, and for all who can't read the signs, even if you don't get her, don't like her or could care less about the world of Ga Ga;

Dare to be different!Dare to be unique!

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:)
