Woo!

Has a new CD! w00t!, here's an excerpt from an interview she actually did a while ago, but this part got me teary-eyed.....
FEMMUSIC: What advise would you give to an emerging woman artist just starting out?

WW: Get out there. Network. Meet as many people as you can. Make a business card. Play as many gigs as you can. The biggest thing is getting out there.

When I started to start making music seven years ago I got a job bartending at the Fox Theater. What an opportunity! Musicians everywhere. People always around me. I built bands, and I hired people. I'm constantly working at work.

The first thing I would tell people, another thing I tell people in my business class is network. Get out there.

Jude (Junis Ponds) said she was really shy until she started bartending. You can't be shy. You have to say, "I am a musician, and I am here so come listen to me, come see me play." Sometimes you feel like you're being cheesy but you hope people are receptive to that.

FEMMUSIC: What else would you like to say to our readers about you, Women From Mars, Lilith Fair, and music in general?

WW: Just that it's fun, and I'm pursuing my dream. If you can get a clear idea in your head of what you want, what your dream is, then it's that much easier to go get it. So I'm chasing my dream.

...Write from the heart. Play music. Be open to people who are better than you and not as good as you; we're all doing the same thing. Help each other along. And make music, and art. Art's a great form too.



God I love her............ I think I'll go cry in bed for a while...... sooo tired.... working with stupid invoices. NOT what I want to be doing in my life.... ugh.
