Hello Dears! :-)

May I call you that?

I trust all is well with each of you. I promise not to make this too, entirely long. But I wanted to first apologize for being out of touch with you all. There was a time that I used to respond to EVERY SINGLE message sent to me here on myspace. Evidently, times have changed. I can't say that I anticipated on having so many of you as friends on my page!:-) Nonetheless, I am not displeased!! Not in the least!! :-) A bit overwhelmed by all of your messages, but NEVER regretful; your friendship means a lot to me.

Anyhow, will you allow me to have a fresh start???? PLEEEEEEEEEASE?!?!?!?!!?!?!?! :-)

As of Monday; March 9, 2009 I will make a vow to reconnect! I will do my best to answer your emails, but please know that I will not be able to get to every last one. If you're interested in Booking or Management, there will be a video addressing that. How to get started in the industry - beginners advice.. a video will be up for that as well. (these are topics that a lot of your emails are about)

Anyhow, I said I wasn't gonna make this long, right? So.. I'm just asking for your prayers and continued support.

It's a new season and I'm excited about where God is taking us all. And we're going together!

Oh, BTW.. check out my youtube channel, k?

Cause that's where I'll be loading videos, and then getting them on here.

Okay, for real this time.. I need to let you go!

We'll be in touch! lol

I Love Y'all!! And I thank God for you!

To live is Christ, but to die is GAIN! Phil. 1:21Friends, Our dear friend Ron McClelland with Story Side:B has gone on to be with Jesus. Please be in prayer for his family and the rest of the band. Ron will be deeply missed and never forgotten. His warm spirit and love for Jesus was truly evident and I'm encouraged to know that I'll see him again after a while! I take comfort in the following:1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 (King James Version) 13But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. 14For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. 15For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. 16For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 18Wherefore comfort one another with these words.COMFORT ONE ANOTHER WITH THESE WORDS! Thanks guys!~Ayiesha

MERRY CHRISTMAS GUYS!!!

I'M AT HOME, PRAISE GOD! WITH MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS AND WHAT A BLESSING, INDEED.

DO NO TAKE ANYTHING FOR GRANTED! IF YOU'RE READING THIS BLOG, YOU'RE BLESSED, INDEED!

ENJOY THE REST OF THE HOLIDAY SEASON!

BLESS YOU TONZ!

Hi Sweet Guys and Gals!

All of you!! Geesh.. we're getting so close to the album release and I'm just like "wow" because this year has just seemed to fly by, hasn't it? I feel like I should start Christmas shopping. What do you want for Christmas? Where would you like to be? :-)

Anyway, I hadn't blogged in quite some time and I just wanted to touch base with you all and let ya know that I'm still going at it as much as I possibly can. This summer was an extremely busy summer for me and the band. I remember one week in August: I was in Dallas, TX; Milton Keynes, England; Orebro, Sweden; Hamilton, Bermuda; and Oahu, Hawaii!! My goodness! It was awesome. If ever I could've used the grace of God, it was that week. I'm getting sleepy just thinking of it! :-)

I'm at home for most of the month of September, so I'm grateful for that. I get to spend some time with my family and friends. I get to cook; although, I really need to drop some of these extra pounds I picked up over the summer with such a busy schedule. And why is it, the boys (the band) can eat ANYTHING at ANY TIME of day OR night and NOT be effected one bit?!?! Can somebody tell me that, please? lol Oh well.. I'm gonna be a beauty and I'm gonna see God, Y'all! haha

How have you all been? How are your families? Everybody okay? I wish I had super powers to be able to just come check on each of you! :-) I'm encouraged, though because we serve a God; a SUPERNATURAL God who is looking after every one of you. So I just pray that He'll keep you in everything. Your homes, your jobs, your schools, your churches; ALL AROUND! :-)

So.. speaking of all around, I really would like to know how many of you are actually going to pick up "Love Like This" on September 9, 2008. ALL AROUND THE COUNTRY.

Guys, street week is so important and this industry is just getting so "ify"

Please just know that you picking up a copy of the new record speaks volumes to the industry and the world, reminding them that people still love and support wholesome music that celebrates a LIVING SAVIOUR! JESUS is His name!

Anyway, this is not a sales pitch, I just know that I've got a lot of you friends here on myspace and I'm just curious as to how many of you actually are consumers of the product.

I don't need to make this any longer, do I? hahaha Sorry honey sugars! Didn't mean to take up too much of your time.

Leave a quick response to this blog if you have anything you'd like to say, okay?

I love you guys. I really do. And I truly appreciate you!

OH! OKAY.. ONE MORE THING!!.. Find me on YOUTUBE! I have a channel or something that my cool brother helped to hook up. I'd love to hear your comments and stuff on our silly videos!

Ok.. gone for real this time!!!

Bless You Tonz!!

Jesus, please keep my friends safe!!

Amen!

With an amazing string of successes with her 2006 debut, Gotee Records' GRAMMY- nominated singer/songwriter Ayiesha Woods is poised to release her next musical installment with Love Like This, set to street September 9, 2008.

Love Like This features 11 songs produced by Chris Stevens (TobyMac, Mandisa) and Jamie Moore (CeCe Winans, TobyMac). Song titles include "Love Can't Wait," "Because of You," "Love Like This," "New Beginnings," and "One Day," as well as "Transparent," "Fight," "Never Give Up," "Refine Me," "Take Me There," and "Love Is Alive."

Along with the first single "Love Like This" going for adds at both CHR and AC radio formats in June, Woods will be highly visible in the upcoming months. Woods is slated to perform at Creation East, Lifefest, Creation West, Life Light Festival, Music Boat Cruise 2008, Girls Get-A-Way Cruise 2008, and various other spot dates. A favorite on the Women of Faith and Revolve tour circuit last year, she will again join the cast for five dates this summer.

Woods has merited popular and critical acclaim for her power-packed Gotee debut Introducing Ayiesha Woods. The album garnered Woods a GRAMMY nomination for "Best Pop/Contemporary Gospel Album", as well as nabbing an additional nod in the Dove Awards "New Artist Of The Year" category. CCM Magazine followed Woods' career as one of three emerging musical talents for 2006 in their "Band Wagon" column, and MTU.com's URGE service (www.urge.com) picked Introducing Ayiesha Woods in their 2006 TOP 10 year-end list for Inspirational music. Her hit single "Happy" was also used an ad campaign for the DVD release of the Russell Crowe film, A Good Year. Musically inclined since childhood, Woods has seen her share of accolades including a 2004 "Producer of the Year" award from the Caribbean Gospel Music Marlin Awards, and a Marlin Awards' "New Artist of the Year" and "Contemporary Vocal Performance of the Year (Female)."
