May 22, 2012When I didn't believe I could sing

I’m not sure exactly when it started. But, somewhere along the way I stopped believing I could sing.
I have been singing my entire life. I remember my mother telling me repeatedly that my elementary school choir teacher told her that I had a voice that would stay. I “would always be able to sing,” she said. She told me that over and over.

An Album Update from Home!

Dear Friends, I just want to say ‘thank you” again to all of you and give you a quick update on album production! I am home and enjoying being with my precious family this week.
I spent much of the last two weeks working and recording my debut album in Nashville with producer, Marshall Altman. It has been such an amazing experience so far and it wouldn’t be happening without you.
Recording in Nashville, an amazing, eye-opening experience.

Last week I spent five days in Nashville working on my first record with my producer, Marshall Altman. The first three days we were in pre-production. We recorded scratch tracks for 11 original songs (with the exception of Be My Vision which is a contemporary version of the Hymn with a brand new chorus). The process was detailed, trying and really fun.
Day Two!

Wow! Just wow. Yesterday was a really great day. And, I am loving this process. It’s exhausting, but great. This is intense. It’s awesome and intense and like I imagined it would be in some ways and better than I imagined in most. And overwhelming at times.
Can I just say again how amazing Marshall Altman is? Seriously. And, I haven’t seen the whole process yet.
