Hey Sweethearts!
This has been a creative month full of music and digital media. I've had the pleasure to pose once again with the fantastic Vinjenz. I also shot a music session at Planet Studios with Guy Buisson from Badland Studios. Sending a new cover and video your way with a special guest performance. I won't reveal the title just yet… But, I will give a big hint. It's from the "50 Shades Of Gray" movie soundtrack ;). Until then, I will be sharing some pics from our latest shoot with YOU!
Hey Sweethearts! I just wanted to take the time to wish you all a "Happy Vday" with your friends, family and loved ones. I've been out of touch with my blog and it's time to get back in the blogger spirit. Since I love to love and I am a true romantic at heart, this is the perfect day to share my love with all of you.
I've been recording a few videos of me singing in my kitchen just for fun. A couple of weeks ago, I was warming up before a show where I had to look a little like Katy Perry (which explains the pale skin and cherry lips look in the video below) but I recorded this quickly right before I had to leave and thought it was cute. Sorry about the screechy noises at the end but hopefully you still manage to enjoy some of it.
I love this song and the lyrics are so touching… I dedicate this mini "Make you feel my love "cover by Adele to all my fans and the people who support my musical career. <3 <3 <3
Hey Sweethearts!
For those of you who know of me, already know that I am a songwriter. I love writing songs...You can find some on Youtube, Soundcloud and iTunes :) However, many of them I haven't gotten a chance to release yet but I am sure with time, more and more of them will come up. This blog post, I thought it would be cool to write about how I feel about covers & original music.
There's an amazing feeling that comes with singing something you wrote but there's also another great feeling that comes with singing songs written by others and interpreting lyrics you feel really connected to. Many people in my surroundings have told me not to sing covers because I am a songwriter and an artist, that I have my own songs and it is amateur to sing covers. This brought a dilemma "To Cover or Not to cover...". I don't feel it's amateur. Many of the big stars do it in concert and studio sessions. I find it shows appreciation for others music. I have a lot of respect for singers/ Youtube sensations like Christina Grimmie & Lisa Lavie who are amazing and do unbelievable renditions of covers. They both also write their own stuff too! I've let many people's opinions cloud my judgement and I just wanna do what makes me happy. When it comes to passion, music and art, I feel that there's no right or wrong answer. You just have to go with what you feel in your heart. As for myself, I will not stop writing my own material but I would like to cover some songs that make me feel good and also bring back songs that inspire me from the past. As well as Italian covers who are a big part of who I am as a singer today.
In the next weeks, I will post more and more videos of my originals as well as some covers who are not all hits... some that are simply personal favorites and hidden gems from popular artists. My latest cover is "Mercy"from Duffy. I really love this one cause I am going through this Soul phase! Eversince, I watched "The Sapphires":) and "Get On Up", the story of James Brown's... loved it! You'll also find my original song which is "Mr Rhythm & Blues" from my album "All Around the World" that is a little more dance but has some soul and similar elements. I hope you enjoy! For those of you who recorded your own covers or originals, feel free to share your links in the comments box and I will check them out!
Hey Sweethearts!
There are lots of great things happening in my career! I am so blessed <3 I've been working on my solo, writing lots of new and inspired stuff by the Fashion world. I'm excited to be releasing my next single J'adore Le Fashion in the next weeks. It was already featured on two runways in Montreal for Pamela Quinzi, the Cinderella of New York's fashion show at Embassy Plaza in Laval as well as the "Fashion Four Women's Beauty Show" at Le Rizz. Also, I've been working with my soul sister Alessandra with Dolceamare Girlgroup. We recently got a radio show on CKVL 101.1 FM called "JEUDI MARTINI" and collaborated on a fashion shoot with the Maska Store. We got to model some lovely pieces. Here are some shots from our photoshoot with Vinjenz and the link to our very first episode of our new web series "Lipstick, Music & Madness! I hope you like 'em and check out the vid
