EXERCISING MY WRITES ™

This year has completely flown by!  It's already been about 5 months since I started this blog!  As we get further into October, I'm gearing up to hit the studio full-time again for songwriting.  At these times I spend so much time in the studio I lose track of the days...literally!  I'll arrive at the studio at 6pm one night and won't emerge until daylight 20, 30 or 40-something hours later. Thank God the music industry is forever changing and when I'm not writing in the studio full-time I have the chance to focus on other projects.

I will be heading to Los Angeles to collaborate with some amazing producers, writers & artists.  The goal?  To come home with some amazing new songs!  I never know what to expect, I only know whoever I'm working with can expect me to give it my all.  Songwriting can be so much like a confession-it's so unveiling and almost like taking your clothes off and standing in front of an audience.  You never know how people will receive your thoughts and ideas...all you can do is stay honest to yourself and put your best contribution into the song.  

Even with all the politics and BS of the music industry, I truly just have a passion and love for songwriting.  It is one of those things in my life that just came natural.  My mom says I was making up songs on the potty as a toddler and I wrote my 1st award winning song in the 3rd grade so I guess you could say I was born doing this? lol   I pray God continues giving me a spirit of creativity and continues letting the ideas flow.  I will keep you posted! :)
