I Never Imagined...

When I started making music 5 years ago, I never imagined being on iTunes or making music videos that would end up on Vevo or Youtube with sometimes thousands of views. I also never expected my music to be played on the radio, whether it be internet radio, or on a FM station. The music industry was completely foreign to me.

I remember seeing my single Round & Round (Featuring Joe Budden) on SingersRoom and I couldn't help but think, 'Wow...this is amazing!'

Making up melodies and writing was something I was extremely passionate about, but how would I find a producer. My husband, who was just my friend at the time, so happened to be a music producer, and so it began.

I would write to his creations, and then we would find a studio to record in, or sometimes record at home in our make shift home studio. One hand would often 'stand' in as a mic stand, and I would hold the pop screen with the other. The mixing desk was my kitchen table, and having no speakers, we would rely on headphones.

I am so proud of where we have come today. I may not be Alicia Keys (yet), but we keep plugging away and moving in the right direction. We have immense support from our families and friends, as well as other music industry people who genuinely love what we do.

We have never had a label behind us, or a manager nor have we had distribution. Every article that has featured me, radio station that has played our music or interviewed me, blog that has written about our music, or show that has used our music, happened because 1) Passion 2) Drive 3) Belief 4) Support 5) Hard Work.

I don't know where our passion will lead us, however I do have a clear vision and that vision points up.

All of you reading this blog are supporting us now, and all of you reading this blog, who have done something extra to help our musical journey, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We are continuing to make music, for ourselves, and to share with the world. I still have a million things to learn, and the music industry keeps changing, however we are determined and will keep hustling, ready to embrace all the blessings that come our way.
