It has been an interesting journey. The 27th of May, I did a photo shoot with Michael Englehart at Infinite Eyes Photography. It was a challenge since the room was dark. But I got several great photos and the one above is an example. I enjoyed the experience at Decade Sound Studios. The studio has a great area for taking photos, but it tends to be minus natural lighting. Still, there were a few really good shots.
I have been busy learning how to promote my music and everything else, seems to have to wait its turn. Yesterday, I was recording in Chad Quist’s Luscious Moss Studio. I have two more songs to get produced by Chad and will have the album out in December 2021. That is my goal for now. I have a song, “My One Desire,” I am hoping Chad will play on his grand piano as accompaniment. I am very anxious to hear what he does on that wonderful instrument.
Right now I am working on getting my store set up; so in the near future I will be able to sell my music online and eventually will have merchandize for sale too. The whole process means, I am learning new technologies day by day. It is a scary but exciting time. I hope to promote my music even more, with better results. I am hoping I will be able to gain new fans and listeners along the way.
When I give a new song to Chad, he develops the song per my specifications; but being gifted he goes above and beyond in the tasks I give him. For those of you looking for a professional producer or master of many instruments, Chad’s studio is the place to go. Also, Decade Sound Studio in Tacoma, Washington, has other features you may be interested in. Just check them out online. The cost is reasonable and the dedication of Shad Woodman is notable.
More news will be coming down the pike shortly. As for now, My song” Southern Hurricane” is releasing in a few days, June 11, 2021. The song was written after I found a drink called ,”Southern Hurricane” to give to Jessica Lynne Witty to make at her Rebels fan club stream, after she asked me to come up with a drink. While she was mixing the drink, I thought it would make a great song title and wrote the song. It is about a strong woman who goes to have a drink at the local bar to relax after a long hard day at work and decides to ask a good looking cowboy for a dance.
Stay tuned for more information as I continue my journey of song writing and learning to promote music on a shoestring, without a record contract. Until we meet again, have a wonderful time listening to music and supporting independent artists of all genres!
