DIANE PANCEL: BLOG

I know, I know... I'm a little late with my holiday wishes but with the schedule I've had, I'm surprised that I even had time to enjoy it and celebrate. I hope you all had a wonderful time with your loved ones over this holiday season. I was fortunate to spend it with mine but it wasn't long enough. Then again, it never is...

So much happening these past few months... Where do I begin? Well for starters, I have made the decision to move to LA in the New year which is very exciting... More to share soon enough.

In the meantime, I have been working with the Canadian Pacific Ballet and playing the part of the narrator in their production of "The Nutcracker". What an experience it has been. The girl who always wanted to be a ballerina is finally in a ballet. I'm not dancing but that's alright. As a kid I studied ballet but let's face it, I was a very curvy young girl so I didn't quiet fit the description of what a ballerina looked like. Either way, I am delighted. The dancers in this show are superb and a delight to work with.

As I said, there is lots in the works for the New year and I promise to share when I can.

Stay true kids... Blessings

Well Kittens... I've been pretty hush hush about this because when I have work to do, I get so freakin' focused that it's nose to the ground and work, work, work!

So this is day 2 for me here in beautiful SUNNY L.A. Sorry my lovelies back home but it is beautiful here. I went out tonight and I think I was the only one not wearing a sweater. Apparently 70 degrees in the evening is freezing... That's ok, I guess the locals knew that I was a tourist.

So I was down here for an audition which I think went very well. Like anything, now it's the waiting game. At the end of the day, I know I gave my best and if I'm not chosen, then I just wasn't what they were looking for. That's the way this biz goes... you keep moving forward. I just feel so lucky to have had this opportunity. You don't get stuff like this back home...

Of course after my audition, I had the whole day to play tourist which I did... Since I've been away from the gym for 3 days, I've been feeling the need to workout so I walked allot today. I know I walked almost 2 miles to get to Grauman's Chinese Theatre! ( I know Marie and Christian will be very proud of me) I took photos of Marilyn's hand prints (Yes, I stuck my hand in her's and whatcha know... same as moi!) and walked forever down the walk of fame taking pictures of every single star from Jon Cryer to Stan Kenton to Doris Day to Rosland Russell... Yes I love Hollywood... Well the history. Just so you know to my friends that have never been here, Hollywood is not what it's cracked up to be. There are a few places that are beautiful but the rest of it kinda looks like East Hastings in Vancouver.... Not the Pigeon Park area, more like towards the PNE kinda look.

I went for Breakfast at Denny's (I know... so original) and met the most wonderful lady named Vi. She's 74 and still going strong. We talked about family and LA and her life. When I left she said that I was the sweetest thing...lol... She was so sweet but I told her it's because I'm Canadian! We're all so sweet! ;)

Then I took a tour of the Celebrity homes... I saw everything from Michael Jackson's home where he passed to the Playboy Mansion. Oh and of course, George Clooney's and Carol Burnett! Some of the homes are in full view but most of them are behind ginormous gates. I also walked into Capital Records... That was a riot because they have security at the door and unless you have a recording session, no dice in getting in. The security guard asked me if I had a session booked. I said no except I wanted to be able to say that I walked through those doors. Someday I'll record there... So many of my inspirations have recorded there. I get very emotional about it but it's true.


Then this evening I had the chance to check out The Baked Potato which is a small but very well known Jazz club in L.A.. That place took me back to Tootsie's Orchid Lounge that I sang at in Nashville a few years back. There are posters on the walls that are so thick that I swear if they weren't there you'd fall right through the walls! The musicianship here is unbelievable and I know that I've just seen and heard just the tip of the iceberg.

So now I'm back at my flat and reflecting on the day... As Peggy Lee said, It's a good day from morning to night...

So what's in the cards for me tomorrow? Well how about getting some sleep and then I'll think about that when I wake up. ;)

Thanks to my family and friends back home who have really supported me throughout this adventure... I love you! Who knows where this journey will take me but I'm enjoying the ride... Nite nite!

What a summer folks... Some days I didn't know if I was coming or going but I must admit that I wouldn't have it any other way. I wanted to send a couple of shout outs to some wonderful people...

Chris Millington for hiring me this summer to be one of the lead vocalists with his band "Dancin""... We played almost every Thursday night at Butchart Gardens. To Pat Rundell who is the owner of Urban Arts Production for understanding. I unfortunately had to pull out of the cast of [Title Of Show} which was a very hard decision but it was something I had to do.

So now that summer is coming to an end..(BOO!) I am very excited about the fall. I love new seasons. It a great way to clean the slate and start fresh hence why I titled this new beginnings.

Speaking of new beginnings, I have started a mission to lose some weight.... My goal is 40 pounds which I am on my way having just lost 12 pounds in the last month. I have also be extremely blessed with having started a partnership with the Steve Nash Fitness World here in Victoria. If you are looking for a new start, go see my dear friend Marie Bellevance. You won't regret it. I've had a few people ask me why I've decided to share what I'm going through... Well, it's simple. I'm human... Just because I am someone in the public eye doesn't mean that I don't go through the same struggles like everyone else. I'll admit, I love snacks especially chips! Who doesn't??? Lol.... There are days that I don't want to go to the gym but I do because once I'm there, I get into a zone and then it's all about having fun while I'm going through it. The next thing you know, you become addicted to it. I've made a deal with myself (and my trainer) that I'm working out 4 to 5 days a week.

Speaking of which, I better get going to the gym... I hope you are all having a wonderful day and enjoying the sunshine and know that if you are struggling with weight loss or just anything, know that you're not alone. :)

Well friends... Here we go again! Another summer filled with lots of gigs, rehearsals and shows....

I have been blessed to be apart of the Chris Millington band "Dancin'" which plays on most Thursday nights at Butchart Gardens. I've worked with these fine musicians before but to work with them on a regular basis is awesome. They have welcomed me and made me feel so at home if that's the best way to describe it.

So now that is on the go, I have begun rehearsals for another play... that's right folks, another play! Lol... Seriously, doing HAIR was such a thrill for me being back on stage and learning lines and music and choreography but this show, is so much more! The show I'm in is called [title of show] and I am playing the part of Susan. This cast is so awesome! You think I could come up with some other word but sorry kids, it's late and I just had a 3 hour rehearsal so I'm a little brain dead... Maybe it's just on overload... Who knows....

Either way, I can't wait... I won't lie when I say that some days I am feeling a little freaked out but as the song I sing in the show, "Die Vampire Die", I know I must face those vampires and get rid of them... This just goes to prove that I'm human folks. Even professionals get freaked out. :) Personally, I love hearing that my peers and inspirations in this crazy industry get overwhelmed too... That keeps them real and real is good every now and then.

So this show is going to debut on August 26th at the Victoria International Fringe Festival! I am so bloody excited! I've never been apart of fringe so this is all new to me. I really hope you all come out and catch a show or even two!

More than anything, I want to send a special thank you too my dear friend Patrick Rundell for this amazing opportunity and believing on me. Check out his website at www.urbanartsproductions.com
Oh! I also forgot to mention that I'm also in the process of recording some new tunes too... Lots of exciting stuff to happen this fall but in the meantime, one must stay on track with the present.

Stay tuned for more stuff...

Blessings... xoxo

Hey there Everyone!

I have been on the go something fierce and it's been awesome. I was sick about 4 weeks ago with bronchitis but I am happy to report that all is well. One thing I hate is being sick while I'm in the middle of rehearsals. The way I see it, better that I got it early instead of right before the run of our show.

This show has really been a labour of love... Allot of you don't know this but theatre was what started it all for me. It's one thing to perform with a band or to open for a big name (I once opened for Lonestar and Leanne Rhymes) but it's another thing to be apart of a team where you are singing and acting and dancing. It's a completely different experience.

I know that I have blogged about my cast and crew before but I mean it when I say that they are amazing! They are so talented and wonderful. I've been apart of many shows and I can say that this cast and crew is like no other cast I've worked with. Not a rehearsal goes by where we don't give each other big hugs and ask one another how we are doing. I don't even have some of my close friends ask me that! They have become apart of my extended family and I am going to miss the weekends where I don't have rehearsal to go to and see them. That's the one thing that has always saddened me after a run of a show. One positive thing that I can take away from all of this is that I have a whole new group of friends! :)

So now it's another rehearsal, a tech run, and then it's showtime! If you have your tickets, you are going to love this show! It's going to bring the city of Victoria to it's feet! If you don't, get down to the McPherson Theatre and get your tickets.

After this run I'll be opening for the ever so talented Matt Dusk! He is kicking off his Canadian tour here in Victoria and I can't wait! Life is good my friends...

Well, I'm off to bed. Lord knows I need some sleep... You all take care and stay true...xo

Well hello there my tribe! Lol...

I'm getting into character for my part in the musical HAIR. Kaleidoscope Theatre here in Victoria is putting on this fabulous (or should I be saying Groovy...) production.
I am playing the part of Sheila which I am so excited to play. The show is being directed by Rodrick Glanville and our musical director is Yanik Giroux and our choreographer is Phoebe Rumsey! I am surrounded by greatness let me tell you! I worked with all of these amazingly talented people in previous shows and I thank my lucky stars that they have given me this opportunity.

It's been a while since I've done theatre and I must admit I've missed it. I've done a fair bit of musical revues but getting back into what started it all for me is making me feel nostalgic. I believe that I am coming full circle and that's a wonderful thing. You can do that a million times over in your career/life and every time it feels all so new.

We started our rehearsals last Sunday and let me tell you all... it was awesome! We have one helluva cast!

Anyway, that is going amazing...

Then I am happy to announce that I will be opening for Matt Dusk Saturday April 16th at the Alix Gooldin Hall here in Victoria! He is kicking off his Canadian tour here which is so very exciting. I remember when I worked at Mainly Music, a little music store in my home town, and his first album came out. I would play our sample copy all the time. I thought to myself, "this guy is pretty good". He is so talented and has such a nostalgic voice... That seems to be my word de jour...lol

I know I may sound like a broken record but I truly count my blessings for all that comes into my life. Perhaps that'll be my new anthem... "Count Your Blessings" by Irving Berlin.. Take a listen to it sometime...

Take care kittens and see you all soon... Blessings

Well Happy New Year everyone!

I hope each and everyone of you had a wonderful Christmas and New years. I know I did! What a whirlwind...

I spent my Christmas with my family and wonderful friends. It was quiet and that's what I needed because this New Year is starting off with a BANG! Lol...

I have been asked to sing the national anthem at the BMO Figure Skating Canadian Nationals! I also have to sing in french too! I've never had to sing our beautiful anthem in french but that's alright... I love a challange and all of my amazing friends who have offered to help are the best! I have to admit, I really enjoy singing our anthem in 2 lanuguages. It's probably because that I grew up in a family that spoke so many languages. Since I speak 4 other languages, it's going to be just fine! :)

Make sure that you all tune in to CBC to watch the opening ceremonies... Check your local listings.

I'm so excited to be a judge for this year's Victoria Idol... man do we have some serious talent in this city! I am so excited to see where these young talents go with their careers.

What are some of your resolutions? Personally, I don't like to make them because half the time, we never follow through. I believe that we should make them throughout the year... Small victories because in the end, we beat ourselves up for not finishing them. I have to admit, I did make one... To try and eat less dairy and wheat. Two of my favorite things to eat lots of... It's been a couple of weeks and it's not too bad. I still have it just not all the time. We shall see how this goes... :)

Well friends, I am back to the grind but you all take care and I look forward to seeing you all at my gigs.

Blessings...

Hi there Everyone!

Well, so much has happened in the last 3 weeks and I am loving every moment..lol

On December 2nd, I was fortunate enough to be chosen to be flown in to San Diego to compete in the AMWAY IBO Talent Show. I was brought in as the "wildcard" and beating out over 1000 entires. What an experience... I want to send a very big THANK YOU to all of the people that work with Amway and made my stay such a wonderful one. People tend to speak ill of Amway but let me tell you all first hand, they are awesome. I could go on and on about them that's how great they are.

Anyway, from there it was back home for all of 6 hours and then on another plane to Hawaii to spend 2 glorious weeks with my family. We had so much fun... I'll share with all of you that I conqured 2 of my fears... Yes Diane has fears and is human like the rest of the world..lol... I have a fear of deep water and I am also mildly closterphbic. Anyway, I swam with the Dolphins at Sea Life Park and I walked through the USS Bowfin, a submarine for those of you that aren't familiar.

I must say that it felt so empowering to do it. It really makes you realize that you should always face your fears head on and take it as it comes.

Anyway, for those of you that may be heading to the beauitufl island of Ohau, You must check out the following. These would be Diane's top picks:

- Germain's Luau - Amazing food and stage show and it all takes place on the beach. Hope you get Georgie the tour guide. She is a hoot! They make a mean Mai Tai!

- USS Arizona Memorial - They have built a whole new section of museums and displays. You can also visit the USS Missori, the Aviation museum on Ford Island, the USS Bowfin and of course the USS Arizona Memorial. If you love history, it's worth it. If anything, it give you perspective.

- Sea Life Park - Seriously go and swim with the Dolphins. Beaituful creatures!

- Moose MaGillacuddy's - Awesome Mahi Mahi and chips! Also Happy hour from 4 to 7pm.

- Waikiki Beach - I know it's touristy but it's beautiful.

- North Shore - if you surf, that's the place to go.

I can't remember the name of the bakery but they make a cake called "Haupia Cake". It's coconut cake but it's amazing! It's on Kuhio Avenue near the intersection of Seaside. Soooo Good!

Ala Moana Shopping Mall - OMG, if you love to shop like I do, it's a must. It's like Hawaii's West Edmonton mall.

So there you have it kittens... Now I'm back home getting ready for the holidays and relaxing. I've got some gigs going on and then it's New Years at The Blue Crab.

Lots going on in the new year but I'll keep that for another post. Thanks again for all of your love and support.

May this holiday season bring you lots of love and laughter. Be good to one another and stay safe.

Merry Christmas!
Blessings...

Hi there everyone!

I just wanted to share some of my new photos that I have had done with an up and coming photographer here in Victoria.

His name is Logan Rode and he is such a sweetie pie! I have worked with many photographers in my career and he is so incredibly talented and I look forward to working with him more down the road.

If you are interested, check out some of his work at www.lrfoto.com
He's still in the process of building his website but be on the lookout for him. I highly recommend him to all of my friends in the industry.

Have a wonderful day! I'm off to pack for San Diego...

Blessings...

Well Hello everyone!

It's been a while since I have left any info. I've been updating but I just haven't had time to update the blog. My apologies everyone!

So much happening... where do I begin? Well I am getting ready to perform in San Diego for the Amway Global Talent Show. I was chosen out of my others as the "wild card". I am so pumped to just be apart of it all.

I've been working on writing a one woman show so in the new year I will start to have it all come together. I can't wait...

How's everyone's Christmas shopping coming? I know... some would say I'm swearing saying Christmas but I can't help it, this is my favorite time of year. Once November 1st hits, I have that Christmas music blasting and I'm singing it right through to January... I know, I'm weird...lol. That's alright, I can handle it.. :)

I have my Christmas cards all in order which is very exciting... I am on it this year!

Speaking of which, it's time to get back to finishing them so take care of yourselves and I'll keep you posted.

Blessings...

Hi there everyone!

What a summer this has been! I know in my last post I said that I would be blogging more and keeping you all in the loop but I must say, I've been so darn busy that I haven't had any time as most of you can see from my calendar this summer and by the looks of things, it's not going to get any slower which I'm not complaining... Lol

I just wanted to let you all know that I am very grateful for all of your kind words and support over the last little while. I mean it from the bottom of my heart that it means the world to me. So many great and positive things are happening. Stay tuned for more incredible things...

Anyway kittens, I am off but you all take care and stay true...

Blessings...

I know... I've been bad in keeping up with my blogging here. Please forgive me everyone. It has been a crazy past 5 months but I am not complaining one bit!

As you can all see, I've been busy with many gigs, and session work!

I've got lots of stuff coming up this summer and fall. I am very honoured to be asked to be one of the judges for this year's Victoria Idol which is being produced by Elaine Baglo. She's an amazing woman and does so much in this community. I'm looking forward to it.

What can I say, I am excited about this summer however I wish mother nature was a little more giving with our weather! Last year at the very moment, it was 30 degrees! Today was only 12 degrees... That's just wrong on so many levels. I'm putting it out there to the universe and asking for some better weather... we shall see folks...

Today is Canada Day so I want to wish all of my fellow Canadians a Happy Canada Day and hope you are having fun and staying safe.

On that note, I am off but I promise to keep in touch more often. Stay tuned for more originals being posted on here and for sale on itunes this fall!!!

Blessings...

Hey there everyone!

Hope you are having a great start to your week.

Just wanted to let you know that I have a Youtube page. For those of you that may want to check out my channel it is:

www.youtube.com/picanena

I have concert footage posted there and it gives you an opportunity to see what's going on on the live concert and performance front.

Ive got a few shows coming up in the next week. I've also been coming up with some new song ideas and writing. This process is a love/hate relationship for me but it's part of the process.

Have a great week and stay safe.

Blessings...

Hi there Everyone!

How are you all doing? So much excitement these past 2 weeks with the Olympics having come and gone! Wow... Many great moments and many sad and tragic ones.

I just wanted to send out a huge hug to ALL of our athletes. Weather you placed first of last, you are apart of the elite that represent our country and you should be proud.

As I watched, especially the figure skating, it took me back to when I was a kid and I skated. I was intense. I lived, ate, and slept Figure skating. It was my life. All I wanted was Olympic gold. I spoke about it all the time and that was my vision for many years. I skated up to a Novice level but as time went on, things changed for me and I still had a vision. It wasn't Olympic gold anymore but Tony Awards and Grammy's. In the end, it's still gold but in another arena. Haha...

Trust me folks, I don't regret one thing. If anything, figure skating taught me discipline and hard work and that nothing comes to you on a silver platter. I cried when our dancers Virute & Moir won gold and I cried when Joannie Rochette won bronze. It was tears of joy because I know the journey that they have traveled and it's an amazing one. I think anyone who has a vision or goals in life can relate. More than anything, it made me proud.

I was fortunate to be in Vancouver last night to sing at the Jazz Cellar. Man the energy was unreal! We had a wonderful audience considering that it was closing ceremonies of the Olympics. My family attended which filled my heart with joy, a dear friend of mine that I haven't seen since high school and my awesome girlfriends from Victoria who surprised me! I also had the privilege to have some American sailors attend my show. They were a riot! All in all it was a magical day. I also want to thank Cory Weeds the owner of The Cellar and his staff for the opportunity. Everyone I spoke to loved it and said that they'll go back for other shows.

So if any of you get the chance, please go out and support your local artists whatever their art may be.

Thanks again for all of your support and following. There are more shows happening this month and I hope to see you there...

Hey there Everyone!

I know I'm bad, it's been a few weeks since I last wrote anything but I just wanted to let you all know that I'm doing amazing! Life is great. No complaints here... Lots of gigs and projects on the go which I am so excited about.

I hope that you are all doing well.

I'm on a mission to lose some weight so I'm working with an amazing trainer named Shannon who works my butt of. The crazy thing is that I love it! It must be my training that I had as figure skater. Once an athlete, always an athlete. I'll keep you all posted on my weight loss journey. It's tough but I believe that if you surround yourself with great food, great workouts, and great people, it make the journey a little easier.

Hope you're all enjoying your journeys.

Until my next entry, you all stay safe and true... HUGZ

Hey there everyone!

Hope you are having a wonderful start to your January. I've been really busy with lots of events and planning for this upcoming year.

I've been gigging a fair bit this month with gigs at the Oswego Hotel and becoming involved with some pretty amazing people in my community. I've been invited to perform with many other artists this Friday night at the University Club at UVIC to raise money for the Canadian Red Cross and the people of Haiti. I HUGE round of applause for Veronique DaSilva and Miss Rosie Bitts for the tireless work and dedication to this event.

I'm also very excited to be performing at The Cellar in Vancouver next month. (February 28th)

I have all that info on my "Calendar" section of this website.

Joining me on this gig is the ever so talented Heather Burns! We've never worked together and we've always wanted to work together so what better way! I hope those of you in the Vancouver area will come on out and catch my show. Everyone always asks me when I'll be performing there so here's your chance! Lol...

I know in these economic times everyone is tightening their belts (I know I am) but if you're able to help in any way please donate what you can to help the people of Haiti. I guess what I'm getting at is that we are all one and I believe in helping others.

You are all so amazing and I thank you for coming out to my website and following what I do. Take care of yourselves and keep in touch!

Blessings...

Hello there kittens!

Happy New Year! 2009 was an outstanding year for me... Some hilites... Let's see, well, I gigged allot,

I made a life long dream come true with going to New York and performing. We ran another successful year of "Love Matters", I quit my day job.(Trust me, it was for the best!) Oh and I sang in an amazing Ice show which was also another life long dream. Many don't know that I was a competitive figure skater for 8 years!
To be on the ice and feel the wind slap against my face and sing all at the same time... IT ROCKED!!! Plus, I must say that it's one hell of a cardio workout!

In every year there is also going to be some sad moments too. My Uncle passed away which really hit me hard.

I believe that 2009 was a year of leaning and reflection on many levels. I learned that you should never take anything for granted, to always know who your true friends are, to stay true to yourself, Count your blessings, and most importantly, take care of yourself.

So with that all being said, 2010 is going to be a year where it's time to pull up the socks and take yourself to the next level. I wish all of you all the best for this new year. Dream big because if you see it you can achieve it!

Lots of exciting things coming up soon! Stay tuned for more from me... Blessings

Well it's been quiet the summer for me... I was insanely busy with rehearsals for the "Love Matters" show and we did our 6 nights at the world famous Butchart Gardens. What a treat it was to share the stage with such talented and genuine people. It's weird because today is Wednesday and I felt like I should be packing everything up and heading to the theatre...

Anyway, I'm very excited for this fall... lots of things happening which is always exciting. I'm working on going back into the studio and do some writing and creating which I love. I'm also going to be studying some dance this fall/winter. When I was in New York in May, I realized that if I am to go back and do some serious auditioning, I wanted to make sure that all of my skills were up to standard. Granted I did the show this summer but that was kind of a wake up call for me. Either way, I'm excited to be doing something that is familiar and yet so new.

I've also got some gigs coming up in the next few weeks... All in all, I am excited for what lies ahead for me in the following months. I'm also in the process of reorganizing my music/studio at home and making it more of my creative work space. Anyone who is creative knows what I mean. You want a space that you can walk into and make that your creative domain. As Martha Stewart says, "It's a good thing"...

Well kittens, I'm off and running but take care and until next time, stay safe...

Have you ever come across a moment in your life when you've had to face your fears? We all have at one point or another in our lives. Weather big or small, we all have... Many of us have lost out on opportunities because of a fear of rejection or uncertainty. I know I have... I was listening to a song this evening of a very well known artist and I am absolutely in love with the song. I found out that this artist co-wrote this particular piece with someone who offered me an opportunity to sing on their debut album and I didn't do it because I let my fears and insecurity get in the way.

Why am I admitting that I did this? Lord knows it's not to prove anything but to let people know that I'm human. I have so many friends tell me that they envy me because I'm fearless! No offense to my wonderful friends but what rock are they sleeping under? I have self doubt like everyone else...

I guess my point is that no matter the circumstance, we should never let anything stand in our way of greatness or achievement. For some it may be to bake a cake and others it's to fly into space the point is we should never hold ourselves back.

I look back on that and realize that I can't dwell on it but just move forward and strive towards other things... I know I've got my amazing husband and family on my side and I know I can face anything...

Stay true to yourselves everyone... until my next blog, Blessings...

Hi Everyone!

Thanks again for all of your support and feedback. This summer is sure to be exciting. Well, I must say that it is already!

I am so excited to be finally starting rehearsals for our show "Love Matters". We are adding a few new numbers which is always exciting for an artist. More so for us that are producers. I really hope that many of you can come out to Butchart Gardens to check us out.

I remember when we started with the whole concept of ABPY Productions. To see it flourish into a bigger and better production every time is a great sense of accomplishment. The talent we have on board is amazing and they each bring something new and fresh.

Well kittens, I better dash to the gym, (yes I am trying to get my ass in shape, haha) then it's to vocal rehearsals... YEAH! before I run I should mention that my CD "Introducing is now at some new retail outlets. The Source in Sidney and at Butchart Gardens as well so if you don't have your copy already, get one... :)

A dollar of every CD sale is going to The Santa's Anonymous Foundation here in Victoria. A wonderful organization that helps the community.

Thanks again everyone and I'll keep in touch... Enjoy this amazing weather and be good to yourself.... Blessings...

Hey everyone! I just want to take the time to thank all of you for stopping by and checking out my new website! I'll do my best at keeping you all up to date with what's going on in the musical life of moi! I just recently got back from New York City making my debut at the Metropolitan Room. It was an amazing experience. I fell in love with New York City... Lots on the go right now... I'm going into rehearsals for the show "Love Matters" in which I perform in and also Co-Producer. I always look forward to working with my friends because they make it such a pleasure to learn and grow as an artist. Well... I better run but you all take care and stay safe! Blessings...
