Hi Friends,

Those of you who know me well, know I was a "late bloomer" musically. I was always in love with music and singing but I was shy as they come and didn't gain the courage to pursue my passion until after college. My journey began in the SF Bay Area where I was working in the non-profit organization world and very happily helping to support senior citizens (who I LOVE). I was happy but I had this inkling inside that I was meant to do something more creative and though it meant leaving the comforts of a "normal" job, I thought -- "why can't I do what I love, why shouldn't I do what I'm meant to do?" and I followed my passion into music. So began the journey into singing, songwriting and musical artistry with open mics, forming a band, performing festivals and venues throughout the Bay, song writing and creating my own debut CD Wildfire.
Its been a wonderful journey and I couldn't be more grateful to the people in the SF Bay Area who have supported me through each and every step of my musical path. I am thankful too to all of you outside the Bay who have opened your hearts and ears to my music.

Now its time for the next step in this journey and I'm following my passion to Nashville, TN. I am going to relocate to Nashville, TN so I can further my growth as a writer and artist, and surround myself with some of the most talented folks in music. I couldn't be more excited about this next step and look forward to the growth in my songs and voice.

I believe if you follow your passions and what you're meant to do in life, then you will be intrinsically successful. Although I will miss my dear friends, fans and this great Bay Area that I've called home for 15 years, I know that I am following my dreams and my heart, and in turn, I will find my voice and song even further.

Its an exciting time and I look forward to staying in touch with all of you in my new home of Nashville. I will be releasing a new album this year and introducing many new original songs. I will be sure to write about my experiences in Nashville and on the road and I encourage you to share your stories as well. We are all artists in our own way and each one of us has something to learn from and share with one another.

Stay tuned for the next chapter! I leave next week and will be releasing what I refer to as my "anthem" song.

I love you all and cheers to the adventures ahead!
Follow your heart and spirit no matter the challenges. Life is about living your dreams and the only way to do that is to take the leap time and again :) Remember that all of us can do anything we set our minds to.

All my best!
Lisa

When exactly next week do you leave? I leave on Sunday 9/7 for Washington State.
I believe that we will be traveling at the same time! Wow!

Just wanted to say that I am incredibly proud of you for making this major leap of determination in surrounding yourself with people that share the same passion and depth for music as you do! I'm visiting, you best believe that! ;P

With love,
Christel
