What a crazy year it's been. I'm happy to announce that my very first record is in its final stages of recording. Trevor, Diego, and the two Adams have all helped my songs evolve into new creations and it's been such an amazing journey and learning experience to work on this project. I really think you should look at Trevor's blog, if for nothing else than to have a little giggle at his wit. You'll get a glimpse into the fun we've been having during the sessions. No firm date set for the release, but I'm estimating November...!!!!

In life, I admit I'm stretched a bit thin. It's funny to realize all the things I'm doing, but never once in my life have I ever considered myself an over-achiever. I am so inspired to be spending all my time and energy on music. Fitting a full-time job and grad school in around writing, practicing, and performing is a little difficult. It's happening though. I was really affected by watching this video, so I'd like to share it. <3

Happy New Year! I've been a busy girl. Survived the holidays, enjoyed some crazy adventures, and resolutions are well under way so far. Been keeping up with open mics and networking (my 2009 "resolution"), but this year, I want to focus more on artistry, skill, and self-discovery. So, basically, I want to focus more on writing and getting more fluent at guitar. Life has been so kind as to toss me distraction upon distraction - each more inspiring, but it's hard to focus.

For example, don't be surprised if I'm a fitness instructor in the coming months... I'm just saying...  (you heard it here first).

All that being said, I have five gigs this month. Um, is that a record? I just checked. Yes. Yes, it is. =D

Hello! It's time to finally start the blog! Things have been GREAT! I have been spending the majority of this year performing and networking with other local musicians. The experience has been incredible! I started hosting an open mic at the new Philz Coffee in San Jose. I think once the word gets out, it is going to be a great place for local artists to share and network. So far it's been really good. 

In other news, I have several new songs on the way. I'm hoping to start recording the album soon. I'm thinking about picking up the violin again. Overall, I am completely stoked to be singing and making music. 

I just want to personally thank everyone who has supported me over the last several months. I am doing what I've always dreamed of doing and having the support of my family and friends has given me a lot of courage to keep going. 

I've been contributing a large portion of the financial support I receive to the family for whom I wrote "Cuánto Más". This family (which happens to be relatives on my mom's side), has been through more trauma and heartache than many of us can imagine (long, sad story) and are in need of prayers and support of all kinds. I wrote Cuánto Más in July of 2007 when all of it was just starting. I had no idea the point to which the scenario would worsen. They remain faithful, hopeful, loving, positive, and strong. I'm continually inspired by their faith and am glad to be able to help in any small way. Your prayers for my family are very much appreciated. Also, the financial support provided by those who have come to my shows really has made an important difference to them. On behalf of the family, I deeply thank you.

Well, it's a long day ahead of me, so I'll leave it there for now. Thanks for checkin' this out!  <3
