Oh what's your name on Facebook if you're comfortable sharing here? Or you can even just give me your initials & I'll figure it out. I get a lot of requests from people I don't know so I generally only add friends or friends of friends. But I'll def add you. It saves requests unless you put ignore which I don't do unless it's someone I'm actively avoiding lol.

As for my site, I mentioned this I think in my message that disappeared, as for the songs there is a section called "music" or "songs", just click on that & it will take you to my music. In my other message I went on about how they were all recorded & with who, etc but I don't feel like repeating it all. So just let me know if you have ?s about a specific song or songs after you listen. The one that comes on when you first go on the site, my friend who helped me create it(the site that is, not the song) says it's annoying & I need to take it down lol.

Yeah I really have to update the whole site but the videos in particular. There should be several YouTube videos from various endeavors. And at the very top there should also be a link to Vimeo for a short film I was in. Then I think there's a modeling one which is probably the one you're saying got taken down. I had a lot of issues with a group of particular videos I did for the same company. It's me modeling spandex clothing but they used copyrighted music for the promo videos(brilliant right?) so they started to get flagged & taken down. There should also be one where I'm dancing for a band called "I Hate Pop", I play a goth girl. And I believe a video of me singing but the quality is poor. Like I said, I desperately need to edit the whole site but esp that section.

I don't do art per se. Basically I'm a trained opera singer & studied for yrs before deciding in college(voice performance was my major at Syracuse University) that I wanted to go in another direction. I'd been doing musical theater since I was 10 so thought about that but I'd also been writing songs since I was about 12 so decided that's more where my passion lay, not just in singing but creating & writing. I made a demo which landed me a record deal which was exciting for awhile & I performed all over the city but ultimately, it didn't go anywhere & I parted ways with the label, then someone from the label asked to be my manager & I tried that route but felt I was getting myself more work on my own than he was so I fired him eventually. But I was still performing right up until I got pregnant. I had an extremely difficult pregnancy & could barely walk, let alone perform. I even had to pull out of a charity show I had committed to sing at. But every cloud has a silver lining. Right before I found out I was pregnant, I'd signed up for a writing class. I was interested in memoir type writing but had never really taken my writing seriously aside from songwriting. And had never taken a class. But it was one of the best things I've ever done. The teacher early on told me a lot of extremely flattering things about my writing & I knew she wasn't one to hand out praise if it hadn't been earned so I was overjoyed. She ended up inviting me into her "home group" of writers she felt had the most potential. I was the only one from that first class who was invited. Anyway that was years ago & I've since left the class, joined another, & left that one(have been thinking of going back to the original one though). But in the process I've been working on a memoir for awhile now & it's essentially done, just needs more tweaking & some places filled in. So writing has really become my main love now, creatively speaking.

As for modeling, I started when I was 12 & it's always just been something I do on the side though ironically it's what I make the most $ from. I haven't shot in awhile for various reasons although recently I somehow made it onto the cover of my 2nd book. Well not MY book lol, meaning pictures of me are on the cover of a cpl of books & I just discovered I'm going to be in a 3rd book, not on the cover but it's a book about photography & apparently one of my pictures from a shoot I did is going to be in it with other models. So that's fun😊

I also act, I've done the short I mentioned where I was a leading role & I've been in two full length movies where I had smaller roles. And I'm currently working on another film, I honestly have no idea how big my part is or how long the movie is even b/c the director has been very secretive & only gave me my sides(lines).

And as I mentioned I've danced as well, in the video which should be on my site, as well as on stage for a band(where I was literally told my job was just to be "eye candy"), & I used to dance at parties, private parties in the city where I'd just be on a podium with another girl. I wasn't actually told it but it seemed like another "eye candy😤 Job". I love to dance but I don't love being harassed so I pretty much stopped doing it, also my fiancé wouldn't be ok with it even though I kept my clothes on the whole time. But he can be a bit old fashioned. It's fine though, it's not something I need to do, it was just another way to earn extra $.

So yeah anything else you'd like to know, just ask. I'd love to see your photo albums from your travels! I love traveling as well but don't get to do it much anymore & certainly nowhere as cool as Ethiopia! Actually I would be interested in seeing your pics from NY. It would be interesting I think to see the city from an outsiders perspective.

Btw I don't have a steady job right now, I've had probably every job in the world but my situation with my daughter is a little complicated due to my ex. Long story. But my schedule with her is not really conducive to keeping most jobs so I've had to turn down offers for "regular jobs" but my time with her means everything to me & she always comes first, so I do the best I can. She's 7 btw, you can see her on my FB😍.

Anyway I hope this message doesn't get lost in cyberspace! And hope to hear from you soon. Btw I'm sure I'll see when I get to your website but what is it that you do?
