Well
here I am a new york rican from the bronx now
in Spain. Who would have told me that a contract
of director to a nail franchise would bring me
to this
.. Doing what I love the most
.singing!!
One
day while I was singing in a jazz club in Madrid
Ii met a guitarist Josele. A great guitarist for
a love of songs from the 30's 40's 50's. He put
me in contact with another musician ( musician
just doesn't describe this mans talent) Juan Antonio.
We
met at a Vips. We talked, well actually he talked,
I listened (ha ha) you can't imagine (those who
know him, understand exactly what I'm saying)
this guy is like a great secretary who can type
her ass off 2000 words a minute!! Well we ended
our meeting, leaving it that we would call eachother
to set up a dat to start recording.
Recording
songs like once a week, coffee bar cowboy, 2nd
gypsy's curse and really need to know now (lyrics
written by me!) Was an experience Ii'll never
forget.
Juan
Antonio has a way of digging deep and pulling
out the maximum of your talent. You walk into
his home studio (I call it his magic shop) and
see all his equiptment. But the biggest and most
powerful machine he has is in his brain and heart.
His knowledge and love for music is unique. I've
learned so much from him and what I have still
yet to learn.
When
we went to record at a proffesional studio, well
I can't begin to tell you what I was feeling.
It was the first time I had ever recorded, let
alone in a proffesional studio where great artist
from around the world record. Do I need to say
more.
It
was a great pleasure to share that day with other
great artist like Tom, Inma, Andrea and Marisa.
When they played back my recordings, man what
emocion I felt throughout my body. Thanks Kepa
for your support and know how (studio engineer).
One
day I'm handed playbacks of orginal music and
lyrics and today they're real songs completed
and recorded. Nit's incredible!!
Whoever
says that after a certain age it's all downhill
that certain things stop, well they just didn't
know how to live. Because here I am 48 years old
and starting to live my dreams.
Thank
you Josele for liking the sound of my voice. Juan
Antonio, thank you for taking me under your wings
and helping me to soar and fly. Thank you Jason
and Christina (my children) for you are my inspiration.
But
this beautiful path which I have taken wouldn't
be as precious if I didn't have someone to share
it with. To the love of my life and biggest fan,
Danny. Thank you for never clipping my wings,
respecting them and watching me fly. Love you.
