Breaking Ground

I started off this journey with my head held high and firm belief that I could be a great songwriter. It's this kind of confidence that makes me worry. I still feel like it's too soon to feel like this when I haven't had any major success with my songs. I have gotten some positive feedback but I still don't feel like I have any connections into the business. I did some research and was told to join either ASCAP or BMI for my songs. I did find some open mic nights in the area. Now only if I had the guts to go out there and play my songs in front of the "real world". It seems so much easier to do things online but that doesn't really show people who I am and what I am capable of. I need to grow a following, a local following and perhaps get in somewhere in San Francisco or LA. I will probably travel to Nashville too and see what I can do there. Hopefully I can find a way soon but it takes time. I'd like to thank everyone who has believed in me so far. You are amazing and I am grateful for your support. I can do this. We can do this. Lets show em!

Back on the saddle again.....

So it's almost been a year since I've written in here and a ton of stuff has happened! Can't believe also that it's almost been one year since we've moved to Cali! So far it hasn't been too bad, can't complain about all the sunshine! I got a job at Walgreens back in March and recently left that position to pursue my dream in being a Singer/Songwriter. I know it will be a little hard trying to make it while not living in Nashville but have found that I can use other mediums to help me get my music out there, mostly the internet. I just have to at least try to get my songs out there if anything. My sweet boyfriend and family support me all the way and I couldn't be more grateful. I basically have 6 months to try at this, see if I get anywhere. If not, I will have to go back to school for something. So hoping this works out, just gotta keep writing, singing, and dreaming!

                                                                                 Peace Ya'll!
