It was originally my song for my son Christian.  I was inspired by a beautiful mum who sadly passed away last year leaving behind 3 beautiful girls under the age of 6 and a loving husband.

I wrote it while watching Christian sleeping.  We had had a bad day...lots of disagreements and frustrations.  As I tucked him into bed had felt so bad....I thought to myself "Ok Tina!  Let's try again tomorrow."

It reminded me that we all have our bad days.  Sometimes we just need to take a step back and sleep on it.  

If you know a friend who is not in a good place right now please pass this on to her or him.  Hopefully it will bring you and your child some comfort.

If you feel that you need some help and you have tried everything...ask for help. Visit http://www.beyondblue.org.au
There is no shame.  Do it for your kids and family.  You are the reason they smile.

Tomorrow WILL be a better day xo

Love Tina

Tomorrow, it'll be a better day

The One Voice of Marcus Rivera

Brian Lorenz&nbsp;was born to perform! Born and raised in a small town in the Philippines, he started singing and dancing at school from an early age. His late father always encouraged him to perform and he was often putting on a show for him in exchange for lollies.&nbsp;As a common trend in his hometown, Brian moved to the big city to explore the opportunities that Manila could offer. One opportunity lead to another and he travelled to many countries for dance engagements. For Brian to fulfill his dreams and aspirations he knew he would have to leave the Philippines and so Australia became the lucky country and in 2008 Brian arrived in Sydney to start a new life.&nbsp;He began his journey by studying hairdressing whilst continuing with his dancing and quickly became entrenched in the Ballroom Dancing community. In 2009, Brian's talent for dancing was spotted and he was offered a scholarship to study his Bachelor of Dance at Wesley College in Sydney where he graduated in 2011.&nbsp;After dancing for over a decade, Brian never had confidence in his singing until he was prevented from entering a Talent Quest as a dancer (as he was too good and too experienced). Instead he entered as a vocalist. He went on to win the quest singing one of his now signature songs "The Prayer".&nbsp;Realising now that he could sing, Brian whilst still studying continued to enter Talent Quests around Sydney and became well acquainted to performing with a live band and over time gained popularity in the main stream and in the Filipino community. The experience was invaluable and after winning competitions at Blacktown RSL, Cabra-Vale Diggers, Lakemba Ex Servicemen&rsquo;s Club and Canterbury Bankstown Leagues Club, he has transitioned into being one of the featured performers in many leading clubs and venues all over New South Wales. Since the start of his professional performing career he has already shared the stage with Australia&rsquo;s leading and multi-awarded international performers Karen Beckett, Stephen Fisher King, Kel-Anne Brandt and Lisa Crouch. Not to mention Australia&rsquo;s X-Factor winners Dami Im and Marlisa Ann and Israel X-Factor winner Rose Fostanes.&nbsp;In 2013, Brian started producing his own shows and has received outstanding reviews. With his wonderful voice from heaven and his unique ability to entertain he has created a big fan base and due to widespread requests saw him launch his debut album "It's Time" at his spectacular self produced production show at Rooty Hill RSL in October 2014.&nbsp;Brian has become one of the most sought after Filipino artists in Australia. He can sing, he can dance and he sure can entertain!

Episode 002: The One Voice of Brian Lorenz

A voice that truly change my world! It's a great honour to have Elly Oh on my Podcast. &nbsp;Because of Elly's resourcefulness I am so fortunate to see the Dalai Lama with her. &nbsp;She will have the honour to sing for his holiness during his visit here in Sydney. &nbsp;How did she get the gig? &nbsp;She asked!!! She offered her services as a gift so she can meet his holiness and in return was offered two free tickets to the event. What a lifetime experience and also an opportunity to share your gift with one of the most respected people on earth. &nbsp;That is something money cannot buy.
Elly is one of the most resourceful singer I know. &nbsp;She is not afraid to go after what she wants and helps create opportunities around her.

Born in South Korea, Elly Oh has been in the music industry for over 10 years. She first discovered her passion for music when she was 18 years old after volunteering to sing to an old patient at the hospital where the nurse thought Elly had an amazing voice. After studying Bachelor of Opera at the University of Hanyang in South Korea, Elly moved to Italy to pursue her opera career and complete a diploma of Opera.
Elly has performed at various Opera events including places in Italy, Korea and also in Sydney. She has won various awards for her Opera abilities including first prize in the McDonalds Opera competition (World Song).
After moving to Sydney, Australia Elly has changed her vocal style to pop as she enjoyed the upbeat music. She is currently teaching students to sing in a private studio based on her Opera techniques as well as performing the occasional special event.
In May 2014, Elly appeared on the Voice Australia 2014 where she blew away 4 coaches within 5 secs of her blind audition with her powerful rendition of Jessie J's "Mama Knows Best". During the Battle Rounds she continued to wow Australia and the world (alongside her mentor and coach Ricky Martin) with her Opera voice and was clearly the early favourite to win the Voice Australia 2014.
Moving to Sydney only 5 years ago, knowing very little English, Elly found the courage and motivation to audition on national television for The Voice Australia 2014, placing her in the Top 12 out of 8000 plus auditions and is now considered one of Australia&rsquo;s lovable artist.
Inspired by Elly's determination I have come up with&nbsp;10 ways to be a resourceful singer to land better gigs and opportunities.
I am assuming you are a wonderful singer already!
