I realized that when I talk about my interests, I mention music, writing and playing it, and the guitar and piano...
But what I never seem to say is the reason behind any of my music at all....SINGING.
Ever since I was 4 years old all I have wanted to do is sing. I of course had other interests and other aspirations, but my main focus was to be able to spend my life SINGING.
I remember when I was in the third grade and a girl asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up - I of course responded with
"A singer"
and she replied
"Me too!"
and all I could think was
"Yeah, but I mean for real, not in my fantasy world."
Now maybe that sounds mean, but in my head at the time I was aware of the difference between what you wish you could do and what you planned to do. And I have always planned to stand on the stage and sing music that I love. And I've always known that no one would just give you that opportunity - you had to create it for yourself. So here I am, plowing away, making myself a path, and there you are, supporting me and helping me along the way!
I know I say this all the time, but I really, truly appreciate everything everyone is doing to help me on my path. Without you, all it would be is a fantasy world I wished I was a part of.

Due to my appreciation, tomorrow night's Music Video Premiere show will be held free of charge, with free soda, wine and beer.
