Hey!
Things out on the left coast are going really well and I am so happy to be out here. I'm writing songs to place on other recording artists and vibing with some really talented producers. My mom is probably more anxious than I am to get the truth about what's going on with my "record company" (yes i put it in quotations lol) out there, but I still feel that I should be a bit vague about it. (My mom is awesome and I love her to death, btw!) She is just tired of people coming up to her asking "if I'm still doing music" or why I haven't "put anything out in so long." She gets upset (probably as much as I do) knowing that circumstances are holding me back from doing what I love to do. She just wants people to know the truth, but unfortunately its not always that simple. I will say, though, that the company that I signed with years ago STILL does not have distribution- and I am not trying to just pass the blame around- but it legitimately is not my fault. There are things that are totally, 100% outside of my control. I truly can't wait to be more candid with you. Its not as simple as just "going to another label" or "releasing a single yourself". Oh, if only it were..... uuugh. But contracts and legal obligations are CRAAYYYZZZZYYYYYYY! 
Anyways enough about that, like I said, Im sooooo happy to be out here working and exploring myself even more as a songwriter and a creator, whether the songs be written for myself or other artists :) Truly! Last night I really had a creative breakthrough and allowed myself to truly channel my feelings and emotions, whether they be good, bad, happy, or sad, onto paper and into song. I believe that when things are meant to happen, they will, and its inevitable that things will fall into place as they should. In the meantime, I get to hone in on other parts of myself, which in the end, will contribute to me as an artist all around.
While I'm out here I go to a church called Angelus Temple "Dreamcenter" and I really love it! If you live in southern Cali and you're looking for a good church you should definitely check it out. They do so much work in the community and really stand for something wonderful.
Anyways, have a wonderful day and know that "your drive exceeds circumstance."( A line from All I Want Is Everything)
