I recently tested my DNA to find where I’m from (you can see that post here), and this began a new project where I explore the musical side of my heritage. Today we’re covering Poland! I had no idea I was Polish, so I’ve learned a lot about me thus far. Poland has a really…
How Do You Move a Piano? – Guest Post
I’ve been in the process of an exhausting and never-ending move, taking my career from Detroit to Nashville. When Niki Tech brought me this idea for a post on how to move a piano, I thought it was a great idea. It fits with my life theme and it’s also useful information. If you want…
A Journey of My Musical Heritage: Is Music Talent in DNA?
This is my newest project, and I hope you’ll join me as I explore the musical history of my ancestors. If you share any with me, perhaps you’ll learn about your own as well! As far back as my family goes, we’ve always been musical. My dad is a drummer and played with Tony Bennett,…
Interview with Jordan Esker & The Hundred Percent
I’ve been interested in learning more about fellow artists lately, so I hope you’ll enjoy these interviews! This week I’m speaking with Jordan Esker about his band, Jordan Esker & The Hundred Percent. This Florida-based band gets a ton of press coverage and made an amazing music video for pennies, so I thought they’d be…
4 Things My Favorite Music Teachers Have Taught Me
I consider myself a life-long music student. I continue to take classes online and have taken many in-person classes throughout my life. I’ve written about some of the horrible teachers I’ve had (you can read about those here), but today I’d like to shine a light on the incredible music teachers who have helped shape…
An Interview with Singer/Songwriter Francie
I met Francie the good old-fashioned way: on the internet. Her single “Your Way” captivated me, not only with the music but the image for the cover. After interviewing her, I like her even more. She’s brilliant, introspective and I can feel the creativity pouring out of her words. I am so glad she agreed…
The Aquarius Musician: How Your Zodiac Sign Affects Your Music
I did a whole series listing every Aquarius musician ever, and I wanted to expand on that to dive into what that really means. Some people don’t believe in zodiac signs at all, while some people go all in and believe every bit of it. I feel like I fall somewhere in the middle, and…
The Biggest Artists of 2018, and How You Can Be Like Them in 2019
The “Biggest Artists of 2018” is a difficult award to hand out, because there are many different criteria we could use. When I looked at the Billboard list of Highest-Paid Musicians, all of the Top 10 made most of their money from touring. This does not apply to you if you’re not a major touring…
Alternative Therapies for Singers
This week is officially “healing week,” with a string of health-related services I tried to test their effects on my singing. If you’re new here, I do a lot of different experiments to see how my voice will react. I’ve tried cupping therapy, Christina Aguilera’s and Reba McEntire’s Masterclass, crystal therapy, and several others. This…
Goal Setting for Singers and Songwriters – 2019 Edition
Last January, I wrote a post about my goals for 2018. Since I want to be real with you and hold myself accountable, I want to go through them with you and examine my wins, fails and how 2019 will be different. I don’t want to just drone on about my own goals though, so…
