“Finding My Voice” (The Whole Story)

“Finding My Voice” (The Whole Story)

Posted by on Sep 17, 2013 in Blog, Creating My Musical Future, Recent Posts

What will ultimately be a 24-video piece, “Finding My Voice” tells my story…on MANY levels… through the performance of songs that ALL hold very specific, personal meanings.  Every song…practically every lyric…the order in which they are presented…who and what is going through my heart and mind as I sing along to and express my own identification & experience with the sentiments being conveyed by each artist…the emotion is very real.  This is intended to be viewed in order, by anyone interested but especially by those “closest” to me. Past, present, future…I am most certainly communicating to many, many individuals from my story in all sorts of ways as I perform these songs.
