Björk – An Unmistakable Voice Coupled with Individuality

There have been so many great musicians that have influenced me while finding my own unique style and voice, both in person and through their music, that it is difficult to pinpoint just a few. One artist, however, has stuck out from the beginning for her creativity, amazing voice, sounds and courage to go where no other artist has gone before. And for a female musician, that has meant not being scared of being labeled as strange, eccentric and even ugly. Read more

Michael Jackson – This Is It

Any performer couldn’t help but get goose bumps when reading about Michael Jackson’s planned concert series This Is It.

Happy Birthday to The Huffington Post

The Internet Newspaper and iconic news/breaking stories blog, The Huffington Post, is turning 5!  Happy Birthday to The Huffington Post!

I decided to help HuffPost celebrate by telling my fans and readers why I love the site.  As you know, my passion is singing and songwriting, but I am also very active on the social networking site, Twitter.  It was there that I got to know several of the contributors at The Huffington Post: @2morrowKnight and @notifyneal.  From there, I became a regular reader and then a subscriber of HuffPo.

I guess I didn’t know what I was missing! More than 3,000 people contribute to the breaking news stories and other features at the site.  No other site offers the variety and freshness of the content of The Huffington Post.  No wonder it recently broke its record, exceeding 40 million unique visitors in a month.  Perhaps not surprisingly, The Huffington Post is the most linked to blog on the Internet, according to Technorati.

With an average of 23 million readers a month in the U.S., The Huffington Post has a broader reach than NYTimes.com!
