Abundance…

What a  nice summer.

Isn’t that the best thing about summer, performing outside and having the wind and fresh air and little nature (or city!) noises that push you to dive even more into your music to avoid distraction?  In June I did enjoy the “Play Me I’m Yours” (honky-tonk) pianos across the city and got to perform on a few for MMNY and just because…

These little clips were done with a camera-video and the sound isn’t great but still, enjoy the view like I did!

In July I performed across the city and received a live performance review:  here

I am also in touch with some wonderful people in the music industry and receiving support, more details soon…

I did find a new apartment that will work with my studio! I think I saw around 15 places?! … and also took a bit of vacation in Cape Cod:

Award for “Should you get mad”

“Should you get mad” won the award of 2nd place in the “Pop” category for Music Video competition at The International Indie Gathering 2010!
I’m not into competitions but I am so grateful that the jury of a festival or contest like my music and video to the point they want to give it something that will make it stand out with some kind of recognition.

Letter: “The Battle with the Germans”:
And we – the French and the Americans – thought that we were done with them since world war II.
After their invasion of the original .com website, they entered into a conflict and refused to give back the property. Although I sent them messages of peace, they decided to keep occupying the site.
In the end, since I owned everything they didn’t, which is Myself, I re-opened it with a different name.
To illustrate the History, we will have in the contact page an online game featuring “champignons” mushrooms and a figurine of me shooting cheese at them…
Be careful, this might not be a joke.
I would like to thank Erin Michael for her support which led to Armistice and her design of the site.
