It’s going to take time to find the musicians to help me finish all these songs and get them mixed/mastered, so sometimes I’m going to be posting these work-in-progress songs to share with you This is another track from the Contemporary Christian album I’m writing.

Here is my new Contemporary Christian song ‘You Found Me’.

This is my new song called “Don’t Say It”. This one was co-produced, mixed and mastered by Laz Harris and definitely marks the turn in a more pop/R&B direction which I’m really enjoying.

On the surface, this song is about a break-up but is also very symbolic on many other levels, emphasising the importance of not allowing yourself to feel second-best in a relationship or in life.  I feel like it’s a good transition song as we move from 2012 to 2013

“Don’t Say It” is now available to buy on Reverbnation and 0.56 cents of each download will go to the “Half The Sky” organisation, whose mission is “Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide”. Thank you so much for your support

“Are you ready for the Next Event In Life?”

This song is very poignant as it reflects how the world is changing, with or without us and that we need to be ready to embrace the truth as it is slowly revealed. It emphasises how we need to shift our perspective from living our lives in a personal bubble, to a world where we truly look after our loved ones and neighbours and care about our earth.

I was originally inspired to write this song by Neil Phipps who sponsored a large part of my kickstarter project in March 2012 and his reward was an original song written and performed by me based on his own theme. The song slowly started to grow and took on a life of its own which I believe was divinely inspired, especially when Ari recorded guitar and Laz added in some extra cool instrumentation and worked his magic on the final mixing and mastering.

New Spirit Journal is a great monthly publication by Krysta Gibson and amongst a plethora of great articles,  she has very kindly written a wonderful review of Butterfly Song for me.

This is a great video of my song Rain from Butterfly Song, which was directed by Brandon Baugh from Central Washington University. Original cellist on recording is Maria Scherer Wilson and the cellist in the video is Casandra Dickerson.
