Hello everyone!
I am very excited to share with you my first Spanish song that I have recorded, "No Estoy Fingiendo", I'm not Pretending (Acoustic Version.)  I had a great experience and a GREAT time working with Stretch Productions out of Fort Worth, Texas, Nashville songwriter, Tammy Lynn and Spanish Translator, Marie Rodriguez!  I am also happy to announce that Stretch Productions and myself have come to an agreement and we will be working on more projects in the near future!  

Lots of love to you all and I hope you enjoy my version of "I'm Not Pretending."

April Mestiya

I am very excited to announce that my music is now being played on a daily basis in over 4000 department stores and various types of retail establishments throughout Europe. If any one of my fans should hear my music while shopping in Europe I would absolutely love it if you would please leave a comment on this blog with the song title and store name/country where you heard it. Thank you and much love, April Mestiya
