Good day to all my singers and prospective clients. I want to take a moment to wish you all a very happy and healthy 2025! I also want to take this moment to get real-real.

Many of us are feeling a bit of trepidation and caution entering this year. We’re not sure where we’re all headed. We aren’t sure about the future of the arts. And this brings up many of our historical anxiety about performance and creating. I want to address that so we can all keep ourselves focused and motivated this year.

It’s okay to feel the anxiety. Go ahead and feel it. But then ask yourself if there is any other way you want to be living. Can you imagine not singing? Can you imagine a life where you aren’t creating and performing in one way or another. If the answer you get back is that you cannot imagine a life without a way to use your voice and given talents, then the only way forward is to commit to your process. Keep growing. Keep enjoying the beauty of your talents. Share your voice. No matter what happens, people always want music. They always need to feel a connection to the soul in the way that only music and the human voice can offer.

So in this new year, understand that nothing travels in a straight line. Your progress won’t be linear and neither will your motivation. You will fluctuate between times of uncertainty and times of great determination. That is to be expected. And that is OKAY. Take a deep breath and know this. No matter what you are feeling, we are going to work forward together. I will always champion your cause!
