I’ve been working on the final edits of Shape Shifter and went to Oklahoma last week to meet with the Chairman (aka Chief) and the Elder of my tribe helping with the translations to obtain their approval and blessings on my project. During my short visit, Chairman Coffey took me to SIA (pronounced see-a) meaning ‘feather’ in Comanche. Sia is a tribal Eagle Sanctuary ran by Bill and Troy who are the scientist and caretakers of the facility – these two men have spirits who literally soar with the eagles! For more information on Sia go to www.comancheeagle.org Ura!
- These albums are the culmination of my effort to demonstrate my ability and diversity as a lyricist and songwriter. Writing within varied genres reflects my passion for music – from simple riffs to complex ballads and ethnic based melodies. Jazz, Latin, Blues, Country, Native American, Adult Contemporary, all are exciting to me – all are represented here. I am anxious to work with established artists who will take my music and lyrics to the next level. Individuals who can challenge me to be more creative in a way that is specific to their talent and musical identity. My goal is to write for and with the best.
