Fan Supported Music & A Small Miracle

gayle — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 03:10:17 +0000

Since I missed my chance at being a teen idol and making millions right off the bat, learning to hip hop dance and conquering the pop world, I decided to write folky indie songs and start my own label. Sadly, no one tells me how to dress or what to say, and I just have to write and edit my own songs, produce my own cds and plan my own tours. No one tells me when I’ve gotten a bit too pudgy, and I am allowed to have a boyfriend (that is, if I could find a good one!). It’s kind of a bummer being so independent, but I have learned to cope with it. I don’t really like kool-aid that much anyway… (more…)

The Thing About Lilith

A few weeks ago I received an email from a close friend directing me to a site where I could enter a contest to win a spot at Lilith, a music festival for female artists. My first reaction was, “Lilith is still going on?” My second: “Argh! Another contest. Gross. I guess I should enter.” (more…)

Adventures in London and Shoes of Wonder

Make Believe- Progress

gayle — Thu, 25 Mar 2010 13:10:28 +0000

I have been working on my upcoming full-length, “Make Believe” for over a year now and we have finally moved into the mixing stage! It’s been an incredible process and I have learned so much about recording. I’ve been able to further define what I want from my career and have really developed each song… and now I’m ready to get this thing out!! (more…)

Chris Martin Sings “Make Believe”

gayle — Wed, 24 Mar 2010 07:44:47 +0000

Sometimes I have really random celebrity dreams. I am always surprised by these dreams, since I don’t really keep up on star gossip… and I think that’s what makes these dreams so awesome. (more…)

Chains of Doom

Friday morning I woke up early in Redding and loaded up all of my gear (I should play fewer instruments/and/or get a band to tour with me and help me carry stuff). I could tell that a storm had moved in overnight, in alignment with my sister’s predictions. I had picked up some chains for my tires in Sacramento for my drive to Portland, but was still hoping I wouldn’t have to use them… (click ‘view original post’ if you’re on facebook). (more…)
