To Be Sown

The road parted and I came back to New York City, alone.  I only had one idea and it was to be something.  I held onto this belief through all the changes and all the ups and plenty of downs.  I kept the road open and continued to dream while always taking on and facing everything head on. Not in my wildest did I think I would write and compose the music that came from my wild adventure.  It happened.  From one failed musician to the next somedays I had had enough but then I remember what it took to get here. A disastrous heartbreak and crazy changes I had ended up in a place that once made me happy.  Now I could decide my road, I no longer was held captive by him.  Years later I would understand more clearly what this actually meant.  I was a free bird, soaring with a deep connection to a passion that needed nurturing.  I was curious from the jump.  It wasn't enough to say, I had to do.

When I was low I said I wanted a beautiful product to come from this hardship.  As we wrap up our first album entitled "To Be Sown" I couldn't be more proud.  The title comes from the start of a beautiful flower, first you must drop a seed into the ground.  With proper care, watch it grow.   Very much represents the journey I have been on.  It didn't happen overnight, however frustrating that is I planted my seed and I continue to watch it bloom. No one said it was easy and it most certainly is not but this shouldn't discourage you.  Make peace with how familiar this feeling feels when you yourself continue to grow.

I love that people get an idea (seed) however outrageous it may seem to others.  Life I believe is one big adventure and the more you water and give light to the seed things will continue to bloom. You watch it unfold before your eyes.  People didn't evolve by sitting in complete comfort and routine. They used the imagination that they had as a child and believed in something.  Its very powerful the thoughts you keep.

To Be Sown is my first album released under Dani Erin and the final product is beyond any hope I could have had.  All 10 songs were done in under 3 takes and preserved to reflect our current ability musically.  No Autotune.  In a world full of highly produced music I am proud to say that the talent on this record really shines because its real and because its honest.
