Just a little Update.

Sorry for not posting lately. I have been crazy buzy with school, work, and music.  I had a great lesson yesterday with my vocal coach. I hit notes I didn't think I could ever hit.  I am also doing much better with my breathing techniqes.  I am actually on my way to the studio now.  I have been getting alot of support with my friends, family, and coworkers. Even my sister's coworkers.  I am excited to begin recording my song. I begin recording the actual song on Friday. School starts on Monday and I am still excited. Not about the drive but you have to do what you have to do.

A real provider

Driving by, I saw this sign that reminded me of my dad. He worked here for years and this was how he supported his family. He is true provider, from here he showed me at a young age true how to make it on your own. I love my daddy. Omg I'm such a daddu's girl.


A true happy moment.

This is Frances Harris, one the only people in the world that I know without a shadow of a doubt will always be team Yannie. Her connection between Ishmeal and I and my video guy. She was the reason I actually did not move to L.A. Ever since its music. My supporter,my friend, my sister, my luv. And now she is my 2nd Married friend. So happy for then both (Alana lane) Love is a beautiful thing believe me I know. ;-)


Playing ketchup

Today was the first day of class and boy was this day stressful. So I walk in for class and Dr. J looks at me and say Awwww no hunny it gonna actually begin Saturday. Ok cool. But the minute I sat down to take a look at my classes, it was then that I felt the rath of taking one single semester off. I have to go to three different schools this summer, pay , maintain a full time job, at least a 3.5 gpa, and still stay on top of this music. I also have to clone myself to be a friend, an auntie, a student, an employee, and a rising artist. It will be worth it. God always works out in my favor. That's the blessings of being a kings kid. A princess. Pray for me yall in Jesus name.

Sleep

I understand that your rest is important for your voice and your brain, but sometimes my days run into each other and by the time I look up, three days has past and I'm no longer myself. It's just so much that has to get done. I tell myself I'll sleep When I' m gone, but if catch a couple cat male, I'm good.

Vocal Lesson


This was my first vocal lesson and my coach a wonderful teacher.  She made me feel so comfortable.  I was so nervous.  I didn't know all the words, I couldn't keep my breath in the begining, but I went hard. I have a long way to go but I am getting there the right way this time around.

First youtube video. ( still working on me guys)





Ok so this was the first video I ever put online of me singing on youtube and I was not all that good.  I can say that because I should have at faced the camera. But I faced the wall because I was really afraid of FACING it. I have gotten a little better, well actually a lot better.  Vocal lessons really helped. Again don't be afraid to comment.  It only makes me better and prepare me for my future.

Education

Never can forget about my education. Xavier's Graduate School. The girl is smart. God has blessed me in more than a few ways. smart

Day life


I would normally never ever post a picture of me in uniform, but this is the whole me that I am giving to you. I just wish I would have moved the work out matt, the books, and shoes. # such a girly girl

The dress


This was the dress that I don't think wad such a great idea to sit in. Lol oh well this only makes me better right? Sorry guys tilt your head to the left. LOL I told yall this is a trial and error thing. 
Welcom to the journey and all of my imperfections.


Web Designer Meeting






At the meeting with this amazing company. Can't wait to show you guys what I have up here in this brain of mine.

Trial n Error.






I have decided to be really honest with my viewers and show you the good, the bad and the ugly of this process.  I was at open mic and noticed that maaaybe this dress was not the best considering these legs I am walking around with and the fact that I was sitting on a stool made it no better.  I know that if you sit at the tip of the chair, there is less you'll notice.  But when you've got it, you've got it.  I am actually really working hard on the toning up.  Consistancy is everything! I just wanted the song i sung to really intimate because of the type of song I was singing.  Try me by Tamar Braxton.  Don't sleep on my girl. Yes, overthetop.com Tamar

Lunch Date with the sissy






 I felt like I hadn't seen my sister Toya in forever, so I was extra excited to meet her for lunch.  I had a lot to update her on. She enjoyed an amazing lunch while I nibbled on carrots.  Hey a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do.  It just felt good. I even had at least a million glasses of warter.
