Pursuing one's dreams takes as much effort as not pursuing them. We have been busy writing new songs, playing three hour gigs, yoga chanting for charity, and working full time in order to continue our quest for a livelihood in the music business. The beauty of today's music world is that one is not limited by age, weight, or because of geographical location as to why one's goals of pursuing music can not be achieved. One might have to have specific qualifications to meet the standards of a major label's requirements; but in these times, artists can create and be free to be who
they truly are without answering to anyone but themselves.
I am thankful to be a part of this new era of music. Soon, my band and I will be launching a "kick starter" project to raise money to make our first EP! People have been asking how they can help us, and we are giving them a chance to do so! We would then be able to create something grander, and it is in that process of creation that pure joy is found. At first, I was hesitant to raise money this way, but Amanda Palmer's recent TED talk about "The Art of Asking" was the final validation to go for it! She encourages us all as artists to ask.
Please take the time to watch her inspirational words:

Thank you for reading this, remember to create, and we will be asking for your help
soon!
