Dallas Singer/Songwriter Julie Ingram has been preparing for a career in music most of her life. She started piano lessons in her native Centralia, Kansas at the age of seven. The satisfaction and pleasure she derived from playing prompted her to become proficient with many other instruments including guitar, flute, piccolo and organ. She sang her first solos in the church, and served as the church organist from ages 13 to 17. In addition, Julie traveled with her high school stage band as keyboard player. It was during this time that she was inducted into Who’s Who in Music.

All through her high school years, Julie dreamed of one day entertaining large audiences. She took her first step toward that dream by representing her home town of Centralia in the Jr.Miss Pageant. Pageants seemed to come naturally, and Julie went on to win the title of Miss North East Kansas, Miss Arlington, Miss Bauder Fashion College, Miss Yellow Pages and Miss Urban Cowgirl. She was also a finalist in the Miss World and Miss Kansas Pageants, but Julie knew there was more to her dream of entertaining.

Before graduation from Axtell High School in Kansas, she enrolled in Barbizon School of Modeling (she would later teach at Barbizon in Dallas). She also attended the prestigious Bauder Fashion College further enhancing her modeling career. At this time,  she also took acting and voice lessons making her a triple threat. Always one to strive for the best, Julie opened her own modeling/promotional agency out of “too many jobs” to handle herself. She landed such national accounts as Jovan and Faberge. Being an accomplished make-up artist in her own right, she trained and taught make-up seminars to many artists that were hired by Neiman-Marcus and (then) Sanger-Harris Department stores.

She was an actress in the television series Dallas and did a national poster with “Pro-Arts” that sold more than 600,000 copies. Her national print ads, as well as her many radio/voice-over and television commercials, always gave her name credit. 

She produced her first self-titled CD in 1996, then released Happy Valentines  and My Best Friend in 1998 along with her popular single, Please Forgive Me.  In 1999-2000, the hits kept coming with the release of  Long Shot Girl and Touch A Life. Two more singles were released September 1, 2001 called Endurance and You. Then in December 2001, she showcased her range of talents with KIDS, That’s What It’s All About.  In 2002, she followed up the single with her album Endurance. In response to the tragedies of September 11, she released her hit single Be Proud of Your Flag, which included a music video filmed on the Battleship Texas in Houston. This song was included on her album YOU, which honored all service men and women serving our country. Julie’s new break-through album Keep On Believin’ will release as a single to radio on July 23, 2007 and the album ships to retail on September 1, 2007.

As President of Summit Partners Management Publishing, Co., Inc., Julie has written more than 250 songs of various genres, as well as a children’s book. She has focused on the Country Radio market and has made special appearances at such venues as the Mesquite Rodeo (TNN), LoneStar Park in Grand Prairie and the Men’s Gymnastic VISA Cup (NBC). 

She has performed a concert at the Majestic Theater in Dallas sponsored by KPLX radio (99.5 The Wolf) and WFAA-TV (ABC) and sang “Touch A Life” on KTVT’s (CBS) Positively Texas for a Northwood University benefit. A guest appearance at Dallas’ Theatre Three’s Gala with Morgan Fairchild showcased her diverse acting and vocal range ability.

Her KIDS show performances at the TI Founders IMAX Theatre at the The Science Place in Fair Park benefited the new children’s venture between The Science Place, The Dallas Zoo, The Dallas Museum of Art, and KERA (PBS). She sang “America the Beautiful” for the Texas Parks & Wildlife Expo in Austin, Texas, as part of the release of her singles “Endurance” & “YOU.”

Julie’s all original music has also been performed at The Heard Natural Wildlife Museum in McKinney, Texas and The Texas Country Music Hall of Fame in Carthage, Texas. The LongShot Girl, a moniker chosen for both her “longshot” in the recording world and her ability to handle a shotgun, has been touted as having “grace and dignity with a sense of humor, beautiful voice and earthy delivery.”


Friends call me Bane.  I don't know why?  Maybe because it's my real name?  Who knows!  


I'm a goofy guy with an odd sense of humor and a witty intellect.  I'm constantly told by friends that I am weird, but in a good way.  I'm not quite sure how to take that?  I have a deep, rather sexy, voice.  And my life story, is needless to say, interesting!  But let's just focus in on music for now.  So here's my story...


Back in November of 2011, a close friend of mine got me into rapping.  Surprisingly, I caught on pretty quick and was actually starting to get good!  By January the following year, life took its twists and turns causing me to put my music on hold.  Throughout 2012 I wrote snippets of raps here and there, but nothing was ever recorded or even finished!  


By January of 2013, life was starting to get easier and more positive.  And by March, I was finally ready to start making music again consistently.  The only problem is, music isn't like riding a bike!  I thought I would have no trouble what so ever getting back into it.  But I quickly realized, I had to start all over again.  I'm having to re-learn everything that was taught to me over a year ago!


So this page was created for two reasons:


One - just for me to have fun and post my videos of me starting from the bottom.  And when I say "bottom", I mean BEGINNER LEVEL.  I will post videos of me every week, and hopefully over time progression is shown.  I hope to progress from a funny goofy constantly messing up rapper, to a seriously professional musician!


And the second reason - I want to inspire people.  Even if I don't reach my goal, at least I'm trying!  So many people feel stuck in this day in age.  The economy is bad and hope seems to be at an all time low.  Well take it from me... if you focus on the negative aspects of life, you'll never succeed!  In fact, you'll lose the few good things in your life you value most.


So this page is dedicated to keep people positive, chase their dreams, and give you a few good hardy laughs from the many bloopers I'm sure I'll make while trying to make myself into the next Emenem... or Vanilla Ice.... Yellow Wolf.... Who knows?


Enjoy!





“The Yellow Kites are two great writers who happen to be a married couple. Kendall Ludwig is a rock solid guitar player, and Erina Ludwig jumps between harmonica, harmonium, and percussives with charm and mastery. The two of them together have a way of exuding warmth into a room, causing the viewer to feel a part of their great friendship. To see the Yellow Kites is to immediately feel like a member of their community. The Yellow Kites are True Folk Music.” – Liz Janes, Asthmatic Kitty

The Yellow Kites are Kendall Ludwig (Indianapolis folk-rock artist and from the all-lap-dulcimer duo, Stories of Clockwork- guitar, dulcimer and vocals) and Erina Ludwig (guitar, harmonium, harmonica and vocals). Erina, hailing from London, UK, and Kendall, from Cory, IN (population 200 minus 1) met in Indianapolis, IN on July the 4th of 2007.  Erina was on an around the world trip doing volunteer work and Kendall was on the heels of one of his multitude of jobs.  The two arranged a breakfast for the next morning, stayed in touch, and finally went from good friends to boy and girlfriend, thanks to the curiosity of a friend. In good time they were finally wed in the crisp fall of 2009. 

This husband and wife duo started by bringing together the sounds of classic folk from America to Ireland to East Africa. From upbeat humor-laden songs to those with reflective lyrics played out in their voices and interwoven with the Appalachian dulcimer, harmonica, guitar and harmonium; their music has brought much needed diversity in a heavily saturated scene.

Their new album, 'Alchemy' came after a year of sudden losses as a way of navigating back through the grief. As well as Kendall and Erina on guitar, harmonium, lap dulcimer, harmonica, percussion and viola; they are joined by Ryan Teverbaugh (bass), Pat Kellar (drums), Evan Sawada (djembe) and Mae Hodgson (mandolin).

The album delicately captures a new earnestness in its authors to do what music is by its very nature intended to do. From the lyrics to arrangements, there is a clear and rewarding shift from their earlier endeavors.

To support their new album, The Yellow Kites will be embarking on their ‘Birds on the Porch 2013 Tour’ through the Midwest, parts of the South and New England.

The Yellow Kites simply hope to reintroduce the love of music, sound, life and people back into places where it’s gone missing.

Electronic Dance Music producer. House -- Deep, Tech and Progressive.

Dj since 2004. I try mixing, blending, and sampling from anything i'm into. Whatever runs the night right and how I'm feeling. I love the top 2% of most electronic genres. Always trying to look past fences to see what else is out there.  Short attention span but fun attention span
