@Ariannedabney (this was a take two) I been on Beyonce

I been on high note

Through the test.

As I lay in bed with a burning soar throat almost in tears once again because of ....... life.  I still manage to thank God.  I thank God through the good and the bad.  I have really been tested this last..... couple of years.  I have been on an emotional roller coaster and God knows I hate roller coasters. I had to perform at a wedding this past Saturday and I was filled with emotion and no matter how hard it was to get up on that stage and sing a love song accapella with a crowd of people staring at me while two love birds begin the rest of their lives together, I was struggling to keep it together.  The professional in me would not let my feelings show, and as strangers walked up to me and praise my singing, I smiled and said "thank you so much." I had a talk with my cousin and she is as strong as an ox.  I am not as strong as her and the moment it looks like I may be having a pity party, she goes bananas.  She is not having it and neither am I.  OMG my throat hurts so bad. Anyway, I don't care any more who wants me to be what.  I don't want to hear from ANYONE what I should be doing, or how I should be doing it.

LIVE, LOVE, AND SING🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤

On Wednesday I had a long overdue lunch meeting with a friend of mine and her name is Paris Hatchet. She is the CEO and FOUNDER of WHERE SEXY MEETS CLASSY. She is one of the most inspirational people with a heart of gold.  She fussed at me just as my family would do to keep me in check with my journey.  For some reason, it clicked!  The fire was lit and boy did it burn.
"OMG you sound beautiful girl, I could cry" She said after I sung a song to her that I wrote.  I replied, " Girl, I'm trying. She then looked me in my eyes and said in ways only she can say, "Stop trying and just do it!" Everyday must be an step in my goal.

God has sent people in my life for reasons and if whatever reason I don't understand at time the purpose for their existence, I just continue to live, love and sing.

2nd video diary

Video Diary 1st post

This felt so weird to me!!!!!! Bare with me people

My first studio experience

When I was 11 years old, this was the first studio I ever entered and ran around in.  It is my Uncle Mike's studio in Rocky Point, North Carolina.  It was there where I recorded my very first song with a gospel group (SOP )Soldiers of Praise. LOL I though I was the stuff.  I am now 26 years old and when I visited Uncle Mike, he let me listen to the song.  I sounded so innocent and young and definitely undeveloped .  Although I still sometimes feel like I am not at my best, I am most definitely better than what I started out as.  As I am reminded daily, it is a journey and pray that you continue to follow me.

The video is now posted. Check it out on YouTube *Arianne Dabney*

This cover video was taken inside of Xavier University's music department. A historical building with so much history. I had to make the best out of this experience. I really hope you guys enjoy. If you look at my first video "Halo" (which is my fav), I didn't even look at the camera because I was so afraid. I am still learning to not be so scared but I think I did the most with the chalk board. Any who, I swear on everything I appreciate the love guys.

As my journey continues.......

As my journey continues, I realize that it's the out of the blue moments that you just cannot prepare for that really gets you. I had two performances back to back when the absolute unthinkable happened. The most important thing was to let no one know that it was not apart of the plan. I think I specialize in "playing it off" the definition of a true professional. I have learned some good lessons from people in high positions that I intend to take with me to my grave. All I could say when I left was THANK GOD FOR JESUS!!! I thank every reader who comes across my blog and I pray that you truly follow my journey.

Team Gleason fundraiser!

On Saturday June 29th, I had the pleasure and honor of singing the National anthem at the Kickball fundraiser for Team Gleason.  Although I was nervous and sick that morning, I pulled through and performed. The response I got from the crowd was priceless. It made it all worth it. I've been MIA from posting but I plan on doing so much dealing with music that I have no choice but to share my journey. Please join me.
