My latest crazy adventure on a list that grows and grows is that I have decided to start a band.....A Rock One. But there is one small problem. (A wonderful manager of Doubletree Hotel in Times Square told me once, "there are no problems, only solutions.") I cannot play any instruments and I cannot sing. Soooo, how in the world am I going to have a band you ask? All I know is that everything starts with a vision. So I created a vision in my mind and arranged to have a photo shoot with my favorite up and coming photographer, Mike Dickerson. I told him simply, "I want to shoot with a band." He arranged everything and within a matter of weeks....there I was posing in front of a real band. But, I wasn't just posing. I was imagining, dreaming, feeling what it felt like to be the lead singer of a successful band. Then, I did what I do best. I started running my mouth about my new band. Of course, I needed a name and members but that would all come in time. My bestie, Kelley Carboni-Woods who is a comedianne without trying actually ended up coming up with a name after we saw a not so promising performance from another aspiring singer. Immediately I loved the name.... I changed one word in it and my band was born. I ordered a website domain name, made a Facebook fanpage and created a Twitter account. One of our artist friends, Chadwick, stopped by for a visit and he actually came up with the album name and the title of the first two tracks. AND to add to the excitement, one of my Facebook friends whom I've never met in person (Tiffaney Moore Borgelin) randomly commented on one of my recent status update. (although I don't believe anything is "random"). When I went to reply to her.....I noticed something; she was a vocal coach. (I'm always having these kind of A-Ha moments!)
So I sent her a message to see if she could train someone that was "vocally challenged". lmbo!! She responded and in her response she said something that I shall carry throughout my future with my band and whatever other crazy ventures come my way. She said that one of the main requirements is "that you have a vision for your voice." And I thought, WOW.. in whatever it is that we do....we should not be running off at the mouth aimlessly but instead we should have a vision for our voice. Stay tuned for my voice. :)

That's Great. I've said the same thing before, I want to be in a band/start a band but I wish I knew how to play an instrument lol.I've expressed it to two friends of mine. Although we haven't put it all together we haven't lost sight of the vision.
