New Design!!

Got a new design today -

I think it pops because I dyed my hair darker (brown)

Not sure how I feel about the mohawk in the back - since it's darker I'm hoping it doesn't look too "skunky" LOL

REHEARSAL

Today was rehearsal day for my Bitter End gig on Wednesday.

Excited for my boy - rapper Heightz - to rock the stage again. We're doing one of his songs where I'm singing on the hook, plus his features on "Saturday" and "If Ya Like This."

I also got my hair cut again by Carlos. He did a nice design, and I'm leaving it long on top. Kinda rockin a mohawk type deal.

The Art of Singing

               It was a wonderful day...

1. I bought my nephews presents!!

2. And I got a new awesome coat from H&M

3. I went and got my haircut.... new design shaved...

     This Japanese girl was looking for hair models for designs, so of course I wanted to do it!

    She kinda gave me a mohawk and then shaved a dollar sign into my head and then wanted to shave the word Rich. I don't know why.

Well I wasn't into the idea...don't want people thinking that's my name or that I am rich.

So maybe those vibes were rubbing off....because she misspelled the word by accident. She spelled it R-I-T-H. Hmm.....LOL.....but I still like the design and you can't really tell that it's supposed to be letters.

4. I went and played for a lesson for a voice teacher I've been talking with, Jennifer Hamady. WHOOOOOOAAA I got awesome vibes from her, and had no idea, but she's the freakin bomb singer!!! She has worked with Patti LaBelle, Stevie Wonder, Christina Aguilera, Jessica Simpson, American Idol.....WOW WOW WOW, and she has such passion and positive energy!!

She started crying as she was working with her student - shows how emotionally invested she is.

Can't wait to work with her more, and read her book "The Art of Singing."

5. Then tonight I went to play for "Baby Wants Candy," a musical improv group. They have classes/workshops, so I played for that for a few hours. Good stuff!!

So you think you can dance

Watching So You Think You Can Dance. Oh, I just love this show.

There was a girl that Nigel called Marge Simpson, because she wore her hair on top of her head. OH my god, she was amaaaaazing!!!!!!!

Went to Bikram Yoga Harlem today, and it's one of my favorite Bikram studios so far, based on the first impression. The teacher, whose name was also Adam, was wonderful, as was the vibe, the space, and the facility. Hopefully I can get back at least once in the intro week.

Got a new design shaved in my head. Whee!!

OH NO!

I forgot to write in my blog last night!!! HORROR OF HORRORS!!

HAHAA.......

WELL......

Yesterday I had the pleasure once again of taking Joe Buffa's class at Chelsea Piers. We danced to Danity Kane's "Lights Out," and it was reeeealy fun!!

I also went and got my design did up right. I loved going to Washington Heights now that it's warm. The Heights just comes alive, everyone is outside in the park, in a good mood, etc. I got a really nice design, I don't feel like taking a picture and posting it here, but trust me, it's NICE. Heehee.

Today I just took some Bikram, and I'm already wiped, so I'm taking a little bitty nap.

Jennifer Hirsh, etc....

Wonderful day today...

*Got another SICK haircut / design from Carlos up in Washington Heights

*Did a video taping in Jersey with "The Bloodsugars" at Soundwaves Studio for a new website being developed called Fuzztopia. They loved us there!

*went swimming for the first time in awhile at Bally's. So refreshing!

*saw my good friend Jennifer Hirsh tear it UP @ Googie's Lounge (above the Living Room). Definitely my favorite set that I've seen her play. Her voice is so wonderful, probably my favorite of anyone I've met. Her tone, her control & pitch, the choices she makes when she performs. She was raw & vulnerable tonight, and her band was sounding sick!  Click here to check out her website!

Is anybody out there?

I'm laying in my bed...should be sleeping....but I didn't want to go to sleep without writing a little bit.

Is anybody reading this? Hello??? Anybody out there? out there? out there?


I had a good rehearsal tonight with Todd at Triskelion Arts in Williamsburg. We are excited for our show on Friday! Click here to see the Facebook invite.

Was able to catch my old dance friend Katie Dean perform with her friend/my new friend Erin Dalton.

They choreographed a piece together that was awesome. In fact, I saw a bunch of amazing dancers perform as part of Waxworks.

Tonight I FINALLY decided on a song order for my CD, and wrapped up the design with Sean Eliseev, who is an incredible designer. He took care of my last EP as well. Unfortunately I realized after he went to bed that I forgot 2 of the photographers, and I'm crossing my fingers Sean sees my email on time tomorrow and we can fix that!

I'm super excited to see the final product, and I hope you are too!!

Goodnight!!

Designs

Had a really long day today.

Work --> gym --> therapy --> haircut --> rehearsal with Story Pirates

Highlight of the day was probably getting designs done! I've been going to this guy Carlos who does dope designs. He works at "Heights Finest" barber shop in Washington Heights, which is also where I met the rapper Heightz, who has collaborated with me at a live show and on the track "Saturday" off my upcoming album, "Suitcases."

I had been growing out my beard, so Carlos had that to work with too. Check out this video to see his work! I love the process. He is very skilled at what he does.
