So I totally stole this from Rana, a journalist/musician that I met at an Once Okay Twice show. I just felt her email, really cracked the door into the independent music scene and that this artist's music is worth listening too. Also as an independent filmmaker (and an artist) finding the inspiration to keep moving forward is VERY important. Never stop.
Ladies and gentlemen. May I have your attention, please?
Being an independent musician these days is no joke. What we do is sersious business. We do it because we have to. But the more I think about it, the more I realize that nothing good ever comes easily. This is Heather Renee. She has been pursuing her musical career for the past 12 years. She is an absolute success and the epitome of what it means to do something you love ONLY for the sake of loving it. If you can't give your full heart, don't give it at all.
Please take the time to watch this video. Not only will you be introduced to an up and coming superstar (you'll say, "I knew her when she made a YouTube video, self-edited at that..."), but you'll learn about our lives and see that it's not so glamorous in terms of what we gain materially - but rather, the true riches are what we are left with in the end.
And that is the measure of man.
Have fun and enjoy. Her music is free, for God's sake!
Love always. Ask Y. Be You.
