"DC" interlude (trumpet)

Like some friends, I spent Mother's Day miles and miles away from my mama. I've never given a gift to her through song, so I thought to create my own a cappella rendition of this Mother's Day theme made famous by Boyz II Men. As I recorded this track, I reflected back on the unconditional love and support my mother has shown me throughout my musical career. She has only encouraged me to do what I love to do. And as I reflect back, in my 20th year as a musician, I can't help but be thankful to her for the solid musical foundation she allowed me to establish from age 7.

I'd like to dedicate this recording to my very own mother, Effie Delois Wilson. This is how I spent my Mother's Day 2014 :)

MasterPEACE (ft. Bella Bahhs)

I love intimate crowds, where the audience is just as part of the show as you are. What gets us to that moment?? 

A lot of times its because of the setting. 
Sometimes its because of the people. 
But always, it's because of the vibe.

***
"Spain is a song that takes attraction from "like" to "get to know each other better". It's a pure love song, which I feel is something missing in Soul/R&B music lately. For our generation it seems like every song is straight about sex. As a woman, we love being complimented and hearing sweet nothings in our ear. I feel like this song represents the comfort that takes the woman from thinking the guy is attractive to, "I think I like him".
