Hi everyone!!
 Welcome to my advanced Profile, where most is told. I started at a young age singing. I am only 17 and I guess I will stay that way.  lol I am still singing and recording no matter what happens, I am having a good time. Music has always been a BIG part of my life. It has made me happy,sad, has taught me many important lessons, but most of all, it has saved me. Many people have touched me by assisting me through the years. I just wanted to sing, so they helped me.
So many, that I can not count . I had the honour to be played on radio in 24 countries. How thankful I am to the " Cruzeros" who poured their heart into my songs. I was brought up by 2 beautiful singers, my mom and dad. My brother Derek and my sister Cindy are amazing singers. My son Phil and my son Eric got use to me playing in the basement with the bands that came and went. Philip, who is still beside me even though he is gone, always encouraged me to keep singing. Eric still smiles knowing that his mom has  always worked hard to be the best that she  could be. I am humbled to know that I have and still am loved by my precious boys no matter where they may be. I do not like to brag but it was awesome to have worked with many singer/songwriters in the Okanagan Valley, Kelowna, BC. I judged many singing contests in Alberta and BC. I have put together seminars and workshops for ones that wanted to learn more about the music business. To come in in 3rd place of all BC was a Karaoke fun time!! I was on on Q 91 Calgary in 1988. CKRY loved my singing but I was too shy to sing seriously at that time.
I was on radio not because I was the best singer, it was because my heart could stop me from singing. I have taught vocal lessons. I thought that it was very important to encourage young people like I was. Music has been so loving to me. I will die with music in my soul!!!

New Jersey rapper launches solo career with new album ‘Ceize the World’
 
 
NEWARK, NJ – As a man influenced from the underground environment of Newark, New Jersey, Ceez is a hip-hop artist who brings a unique approach to the genre, creating vivid word pictures with creative punch lines and a distinct cadence. The way he weaves words around the beat – words thick with meaning and realism – is something so unique that no one else in the industry can compare. 
 
But it’s not just his street knowledge that Ceez brings to the table. He’s also an educated man, having worked his way through a finance and marketing degree, and exploring more “sophisticated” sounds associated with piano chords and epic string arrangements via legendary producer K-Def. Add to that his Puerto Rican heritage and it’s easy to see how his sound is truly unique.
 
“I don’t sound like nobody else, at all,” he said. “I’m all about the lyrics. There are still people out there spitting lyrics, but their tone or concepts are completely different. I’ve lived extremes – both the worst and the best. I’ve had a lot of family pass away, and I was almost killed in a motorcycle accident that most don’t survive, but I’m currently in the best place I’ve ever been. Who would of thought? I can do a song that heads from the block can relate to. I can do a song women can relate to. And I can do a song that kids from college can relate to. My music is to the left, right, middle, hard hip-hop, alternative hip-hop, Spanish, Jersey House, Rock Based. Whatever sounds hot is hot, and I can spit over any beat from any genre … just about anything you can think of.”
 
When people hear his music, Ceez said he hopes they’re inspired to be better and strive harder to succeed at whatever it is in their lives they choose to pursue. 
 
“I don’t care what you do, just try to be the best at it,” he said. “Don’t half-ass anything in life. That’s all my music is about. It’s going to take you through some ups and downs, but at the end of the day it should motivate you to go get it."
 
His new album is a testament to that statement. It’s called “Ceize the World,” and it’s his first solo album after releasing his first solo EP “Rollin” in July 2015. He’s been releasing music steadily since he connected with K-Def. The fellow Jersey representative and legend made a name for himself in the late 1990s by producing such hip-hop anthems as “Chief Rocka,” “Funky Child,” and “Real Live Sh*t.”
 
“The name of the album and the whole theme of it is really about grasping any opportunity you have,” he said. “Seize your opportunities because you may not get it again. Time is limited, so don’t waste it because you can’t get that time back. People don’t realize how precious that is. My album shows a hard reality that’s also inspirational and full of hope, but in a way that’s very life-like. Each track is taken directly from my life. Nothing is made up.”
 
“The music I’m hearing nowadays is not stuff I typically enjoy, because it is not based in reality half the time. So instead of complaining that I'm not feeling what's out, I’d rather put out an alternative of what I like hip-hop to be. This is my way of showing people that music like this does exist. People do gravitate toward that reality – ‘Reality Rap’ we call it.”

      Whoever said absence makes the heart grow fonder must’ve been thinking about the relationship between Lita Ford and rock ‘n’ roll. The hard rock queen stepped away from her remarkable musical career back in the 1990s to devote herself to family and the surroundings of real life on a surreal Caribbean island, but with the call of the sonic wild getting louder and louder, she made the decision to dive back in at the deep end – only to find that she had every bit as much love for the heavy rock grind. And as it turns out, the feeling is mutual.
    
          With Wicked Wonderland, her first full-length offering since 1995’s Black, Lita shows that her flair for sexy, stomping, searing sounds has only gotten more vivid – which is mighty impressive, given a history that includes such classics as “Kiss Me Deadly” and the Ozzy Osbourne duet “Close My Eyes Forever.” The disc, created in tandem with husband Jim Gillette – whose own musical history is highlighted by his work with acclaimed metallurgists Nitro – is a hard and heavy affirmation of the sensuality and smarts that’ve carried her through three decades of action.
                  
         “It’s funny, as I’ve gotten older, I’ve only gotten freakier,” says Lita. “Yeah, I took time to raise my kids and by raising my kids, I mean really doing it – home-schooling them myself, growing our food, baking bread for dinner. But at the end of the day, when it’s time to go to the boudoir, Jim and I are super-sexual and that’s definitely reflected in these songs.”
           
         It certainly is – in both the pelvis-pounding rhythms and lascivious lyrics of tunes like the appropriately-tiled “Indulge” and the so-nasty-it’s-nice “Crave.” With Lita showing off her trademark ability to purr seductively through some tracks and deliver a well-placed knockout punch on no-holds-barred songs like “Piece (Hell Yeah),” Wicked Wonderland showcases an artist who’s clearly got plenty to say and no shortage of ways to say it.
             
         The 12-cut disc certainly touches on the sort of headbang-inducing riffage that gave Lita her start way back when, but there are also surprises aplenty – from the smoking slide guitar that punctuates the bluesy “Scream” to the psychedelic  industrial swirl that envelops “Everything.” It’s a potent blend, propelled by in-your-face drumming and Lita’s effortlessly steamy vocals.
                
        “We started working and the songs just started pouring out,” she says. “Honestly, there were times we started working on a song and ten minutes later and we’d be done. We’re so in sync that I’m not surprised it went smoothly. But I was kinda surprised about how intense the songs ended up being. It is definitely the heaviest thing I’ve ever done.”
               
         That’s saying a lot, given the history of the gal who grew up in England wanting to start a band, not merely say “I’m with the band.” Lita started down that path in her mid-teens after saving the wages she scraped together from odd after-school gigs. Less than two years later, she was strutting L.A.’s Sunset Strip as a member of The Runaways, an all-female answer to the most bad-ass New York punk pioneers.  As the chief sonic architect of that ground-breaking band – soon to be the topic of a much-anticipated Hollywood bio-pic, Lita birthed classic tracks like “Cherry Bomb,” but even more importantly, gave the world an attitude that would inspire countless girls to form bands of their own.
                
        “I don’t know that I ever really thought about being an influence,” she says, self-deprecatingly. “But I get reminded of it all the time. People come up to me and tell me they named their kids after me or named their dogs after me or named their fish after me. But what’s really cool is when they say they picked up a guitar because of me. That’s so rewarding.”
              
          Lita’s influence only grew stronger once she broke out as a solo artist with such still-scintillating discs a Out for Blood and Dancing on the Edge.  Through much of he 1980s, she was a huge presence on the metal scene, packing venues, earning Grammy nominations and collecting a passel of precious-metal certifications – not to mention the sort of fan adulation that resulted in her being honored with seven Metal Edge Readers Choice Awards and installation into the Circus magazine Hall of Fame, in which she was the only female inductee.
                 
         She scaled the charts with albums like the 1988 release Lita and Stiletto, which followed two years later – both of which showcased a different side of Lita the artist on songs like the moving “Lisa” (a piece dedicated to her mother) -- and even crossed over to film with a prime role in the 1992 cult favorite Highway to Hell. But then, at the height of her powers, she opted to walk away.
                
         ‘It kind of stopped being fun after a while, though, and when I met Jim, I knew it was time to take a break and get my priorities in order,” says Lita. For her, that meant getting as far from the glitz of Los Angeles as possible, moving to a small island in the Caribbean in order to raise sons James and Rocco.
                 
         Lita grants that her guitars attracted quite a layer of dust in the intervening years – she proudly points out that her sons, who’ll be joining her on the road later this year, have never had to spend the night in the company of a nanny or a babysitter. But as the balls-to-the-wall tone – and sharply-crafted melodies – of Wicked Wonderland prove, her instincts didn’t lose one shred of their sharpness along the way.
               
         “It wasn’t a situation where I was writing songs and playing every day over the years,” she says. “But Jim and I are rockers and it’s in our blood, you know? Things built up and when they got to the point where they had to explode….we ended up with this ass-kicking album.”
    
    

I am a songwriter but I think of myself more as an explorer. My songs are usually products of a bigger exploration into a musical idea or technique, but there is also a definite influence from my emotional / intellectual state which can be heard in the songs.
As I went to an open mic night last night and listened to a gorgeous girl wailing the words "I don't even know mysellllllf" I thought, is it healthy to keep throwing ourselves into varied emotional states when we sing a song that we wrote in a moment of passion? What happens when the song no longer represents you, is it appropriate to keep spreading that message if it no longer rings true for you?
I guess the good thing about recording as a medium is that it is a defnite snapshot of a moment in time, it is HONEST it says in this moment this song was REAL to me, I was feeling strong feelings when I recorded this! Here is a snapshot of a person in this particular emotional state! 
When we give a recording of ourselves to the world, we are giving them something really unique and precious. 
In a world where people need to turn up at work the next day, us human beings have become accustomed to compartmentalising our feelings, packing away our grief and sadness, wrapping it into a neat little box and then shelving it... The thing is, if we don't allow ourselves sufficient time to eventually deal with that little package of emotion, we might find that our shelves get full of these packages, until our shelves are sagging under the weight and our feelings start to overflow in ways that are not healthy... in the form of outbursts, conflict and self destructive behaviours - or even just complete collapse. 
Songwriters play such an important role. We allow ourselves to experience those sadnesses, we immerse ourselves, and after swimming around in those depths, we resurface with lots of 'gold' that we have discovered on our journeys inward. When we put this 'gold' into our songs, we bring this gold to our listeners, so that instead of having to immerse themselves in their feelings, instead of having to unpack everything and get 'lost' for days; listeners can just listen to our songs and have their feelings validated in a manner of minutes... the medium of music is a universal language of rhythm (we all have a heartbeat), pitch (frequencies of vibration), and melody (variations in pitch), and soul/spirit;  this multitude of access points, speaks to listeners in a manner that is more immediate than just verbal language alone... Listeners can listen to songs, and experience the 'gold' of understanding for the duration of the song.. for the duration of the song, a listener opens up the lid on their boxed and compartmentalised feelings... they have an opportunity to look at, examine, and experience their emotions in a safe manner, being guided by the song... hearing that another human being has experienced such similar feelings, validates the experience for the listener, lets them know that they are not alone in feeling this stuff... As the song comes to an end, and gives the listener a sense of closure, they can close the box back up... secure the ribbon, put their feelings back on the shelf for next time... They have managed to safely engage with their emotions, without having to be immersed and grieving or sadness for days at a time.

Also, the people who help us songwriters create these precious moments, and deliver these to you so neatly 'wrapped';  are so important. They spend hours behind the scenes editing and ensuring that the recording is the best representation possible.
I've been very fortunate to record with Sean O'Sullivan @ highway 9 Productions, Terry Hart @ Maestro Productions and Bohdan Dower. 
I owe so much to these people who have helped me develop my craft... and thank them from the depths of my soul and heart, for their diligence and support in the creation of my music recordings.

Aaron is a self-taught pianist and solo musician. Music has always been an intricate part of his life playing a large role in his personal and professional development. He always has that vision and aspirations of becoming a world renowned musician. In 2006 Aaron began his first project which he called “Sweet Dreams...” On this amazing compilation of songs (and there are twenty of them) there are a few that are being highlighted, playing an important role in distinguishing the artist as a evolving musician and an evolving human being. These twenty songs were based on a very difficult time in his life. Aaron’s self analogy is quite revealing stating that he “is just an insignificant person trying to make a significant impact on the world”.

Certain songs that were chosen mark certain times in Aaron’s life that have had an impact in his life – perhaps even life changing. He reveals these moments in songs like “A Journey To...(A Prelude to Neverland) or “Neverland” and “My Secret Heart”. “Neverland” plays the larger part in the compilation of songs as it was the first track to be written for this CD. It has gone through many changes and has significant meaning to the entire project and to Aaron himself.

“Sweet Dreams....” literally and metaphorically speaking, is geared towards dreams each containing traces of both hope and fear, light and darkness in every day life. This CD is more of an interactive CD allowing the listener to interject self interpretation and analysis as it might relate to their own lives. “The title of this CD is heavily based on J.M. Barrie’s tale of Peter Pan as it relates to non-fiction lives”, states Aaron.	As stated by the artist, “Neverland” is the most poignant and impactful in his library of songs. Listening to it you are instantly transformed and transported to an emotional roller coaster - a world of calm and the fury. Aaron Oliver Lee’s piano playing is magnificent, breath-taking and awe inspiring. This instrumental piece truly allows your own emotion and life experience to overlay this glorious music as his own life did. Precious compositions that you want to cherish and hold dear to your heart. His music is beautifully written, arranged, recorded and delivered.

Although this is his debut CD, he has a lifetime of emotional and thought provoking compositions erupting into a fantasia of sound. Audiences from all over the world will be eagerly waiting for the release of his follow up CD “Out Of Time” which has no release date at this time.

Aaron Oliver Lee is currently working on a Winter themed EP titled “The Last Snow”.

The first song on “Sweet Dreams...” was licensed for an automobile commercial in France and throughout Europe for Renault Z.E. in their new ad campaign for 100% electric cars with 0% emissions. This commercial is available on their website as well as YouTube, etc. and is called
“Renault-The Electric Life”. The commercial will be making its way through Europe over the next year and hopefully Renault will pick the commercial back up for another 2 years in which it will air in even more countries. 

Bravo Aaron Oliver Lee for outstanding work and accomplishments you’ve received and this is just the beginning.

Aaron is hoping to put a tour together for this coming summer or fall of 2012.

“I am very grateful for everything that has been happening to me and my career this year. It gives me hope that truly in darkness there can be some light. I can only hope that people will enjoy my music as much as I enjoy playing it and that I can change lives someday”.

You’ve changed mine already.

"Oh! time was, when as the sunrise nobly spurred me, so the sunset soothed. No more. This lovely light, it lights not me; all loveliness is anguish to me, since I can ne'er enjoy. Gifted with the high perception, I lack the low, enjoying power; damned most subtly and most malignantly! Damned in the midst of Paradise! Good-night -- good-night!"

Take a huge step back, and look at yourself across the way. Who the fuck are you? Your shell has been broken, and for the first time you see whats left of your soul seeping slowly out of it.

" I know the empathy borne of despair; I know the fluidity of thought, the expansive, even beautiful, mind that hypomania brings, and I know this is quicksilver and precious and often it's poison. There has always existed a sort of psychic butcher who works the scales of transcendence, who weighs out the bloody cost of true art"

Mädchen es un pseudo alter-ego que descarga frustraciones y arremete en curiosidades. Multi-instrumentado por una  individua aburrida, y a veces preciosos colaboradores,  es un proyecto minimalista y espontáneo (nada de lo que se escuche aquí es premeditado, es todo a la marchanta del momento). Me gusta lo barato y despreocupado.

Mädchen is a pseudo alter-ego that flushes frustrations away and leads its way with sheer curiosity. Multi-instrumented by one boring girl, and sometimes precious colaborators, its a minimalist and spontaneous (nothing that you listen to here is thought through, it comes within the moments inspiration) proyect. I like it cheap and carefree.

" Cherish your vision; cherish your ideals; cherish the music that stirs in your heart, the beauty that forms in your mind, the loveliness that drapes your purest thoughts, if you remain true to them, your world will at last be built." 
James Allen

With this extraordinary James Allen phrase, Zamir Abbud defines exactly how he feels about his life, his music. 
Born in Argentina and turkish descendant, Zamir Abbud has led a remarkable life, always trying to get through hard times and fighting for his dream to become true. 
Zamir started singing when he was just only five years old. His colourful, delicated, strong voice expresses LIFE in all its meaning. If you need to tranquilize yourself, don´t hestitate to listen to his music. He touches everybody´s soul, and invite you to fly directly to a deep world full of emotions. 
When he was fifteen, he had a band called " Soul Brothers ". They used to sing gospel and soul music. 
Zamir sang covers and his own songs, too.

In 2001, he participated singing in many events, doing his best in many Buenos Aires stages. He used to sing covers from Harlem Gospel Singers, The Drifters, Golden Gate Quartet, and artists like Mariah Carey, George Michael, Tony Bennet, Freddie Mercury. In the same year, he became part of a models agency called RV Models where he took acting lessons, singing lessons and modeling lessons.

On June, 15th 2002, was held a Popstars call at Club Hipico Argentino, where attended over 4000 young people to compete and become artists. There, Zamir auditioned with his song ( his first song was called " Desilusión de amor ", lyrics and music composed by him ) and two Alicia Keys covers ( Fallin´ and Never felt this way ).He passed the casting test, to the second instance evaluation. He didn´t feel comfortable with those auditions, because he knew his music and voice was so different to what they were looking for. So, he decided to leave because of familiar problems and because he wasn´t happy there... 
In the meanwhile, he decided to continue studying English so hard ( he studied English at Cambridge Institute since he was 6 ), so that, he would be able to improve the songs he sang.

Spiritual Life and Music 
Zamir Abbud always was a very spiritual person. Since he was a child he percived everything happened for a reason. He showed a very mature mind at a young age.Between 2003 and 2005, Zamir spent many hours trying to find the answers to his spiritual questions. He studied a lot about it and made a distance course dicted by The ASPR ( The American society for Psychical Research ). He said " Angels and spirits where my friends. As a Medium, I knew they were there for me. When I sang I felt connected to them, and it´s still like that. I strongly believe we are not alone in this world. Parralel to our world, there´s something else that we can´t see, but if you look so hard enough you will percive the energy I´m talking about. It´s on you if you want to discover what´s ahead for you in that spiritual world." "...as Plotinus said: we are not seperate from spirit, we are in it."During those years, his music style changed from gospel and soul music to experimental, alternative, ambient, and atmospheric music.

Zamir´s breakdown and voice rest 
In 2006, some health problems, did not allow him to continue singing. He got depressed, and thought his life was fading. Zamir needed a long rest. He stopped singing from 2006 to 2010. During that time he decided to leave singing . He worked as a teacher of english in private schools and important Argentinian companies, as an administrative in many american companies. He worked as a psychic on his own, and for american companies too.

The lost strength would be recovered over the years, making it a "tool" to mend the broken pieces of his heart, and show him, and show you, LIFE MUST GO ON.

The rebirth 
In 2011, zamir woke up from a nightmare and realised he needed the music again in his life. He started working on demos, and mixing his voice with some other artists music, too. 
He said "... 2011 is the year where I have to find myself again. I am ready to be back, and still fighting for my dream to become true. I need to feel connected with my voice again...I´m on that hard process. I´m sure I will find the strength I have lost. I promise myself I will make it!... ", " ... I don´t want to be famous, I just want to share what my voice can do in this new phase of my life. If people feel they can fly when I sing, I´m done. I want to transmit peace and faith through my songs... I don´t want to be an example of anything, but I would love people worth the precious gift The Universe gave us: Life..."

In the same year, he had a proposal to record his first international cd, but something went wrong with the producer who made that proposal. Even though, things went wrong, he felt 2011 was his rebirth year. He learnt a lot about people, and life.

Nowadays, he lives in Buenos Aires, Argentina... working so hard and waiting...for his dream to become true...

" My soul wants to speak singing all those songs that make me feel free. Are you ready to hear it? I´m singing to you, can you feel it ? Let my voice make you fly... "
