  • The Awakening-Behind The Scene's
    Sep 15 2024

    In this episode, walk with me from my early childhood beginnings watching my opera-singing mom perform on stage, through the 1980s limited technologies, to present day real-life sounding instruments.
    The Awakening is my first attempt at composing and recording a classical-sounding song using contemporary orchestral libraries.

  • The Awakening-Single Release
    Sep 13 2024

    I've been on pens and needles since 2017 to release this song!

    "The Awakening" goes back to my childhood, the years my siblings and I spent watching our mom rehearse the leading role of Daphnie Byfield with a full orchestra in Irving Burgie's original play- Ballad for Bimshire.

    The Awakening is the culmination of my childhood influences growing up backstage, watching my amazing mom sing, and the artist I have become today.

    Initially, I wrote The Awakening as a traditional orchestral piece. But not being a trained classical musician or composer, my love for Barry White kicked in, and I turned a pretty cool classical-sounding piece into a funk dance orchestration!

    I love The Awakening! I'm proud of it. I believe it will open my creativity across areas of music I never imagined!

    Come, listen to The Awakening with me as I release the single and premiere the video!

  • Piano
    Jul 15 2024

    The relationship between the piano and me is a story that feels like a coming of age. I smile in amazement when I think back on how it all started.

    The piano was the first instrument I was introduced to. I remember my siblings and I gathered around the piano one Saturday evening, watching my dad play Chopsticks and another song I can't remember the name of. I was amazed! My dad was making music right in our living room!

    The piano was not my instrument of choice. Yet, it has become a staple in everything I do musically. I do not know what I would have done without it!

  • They Made Me Feel
    Jun 15 2024

    Some songs continue to top my list for bringing up my emotions. I can't explain the reasons why. I can only explain how they make me feel!

    I genuinely know the connection between the vibrations of music and the vibration of the human body and our soul's energies are one. I sincerely believe it is because music comes from us, and we come from music.

    I pulled several songs together to share with you; the stories and how each one affects me on multiple levels of feelings.

  • You Better Had!
    Apr 11 2024

    Today, April 11th is the 48th anniversary of the passing of my brother Marc. I like to do positive things on this day now as it was a traumatizing and painful experience for me, my family, and our friends and neighbors.

    I have a short story I want to tell you that took place between Marc and me in the back seat of my mom's car while driving out to Long Island to visit our grandparents. It wasn't funny at the time. But has become a fun memory for me and something I now do to drive my family nuts, LOL!

    Ah, the feelings of young first love! Having lived for multiple decades, I appreciate my youthful experiences of falling in love. Well, "in like" is more like it at that age. 1974, as I approached my 12th birthday. A new classmate entered Horizon School. Her name was Peri Belleman.

    I think every hormone in every part of my body came alive! Every move she made, I watched, every word she spoke, I listened. But in those days. I was shy when it came to talking to girls. Somehow, I found a way to talk with Peri, and a friendship started. And that rolled into her and me, becoming boyfriend and girlfriend.

    What I could have never known was our hormones were about to be put on blast!

  • BedRock
    Mar 15 2024

    Music is healing. It's a powerful healer. It's an essential part of my healing practice. Along with music, there are six essentials that I use every day.
    I created three of them and will share with you, and three have been recognized by doctors, gurus, healers, herbalists and coaches from all walks of life.

    They are the BedRock of my life and what I know, and have come to believe to be the cornerstones of mental, emotional, and physical health.
