A few days ago I released my debut album called To Be Sown. The journey of a singer/songwriter is often filled with high highs and very low lows. It's not always easy, doing it in the biggest city in the world presents even more challenges.
3 years ago I was a girl new to New York, claiming to be a singer/songwriter. I had no album, I had no band. I told everyone I met, I wanted everyone to believe as much as I did and they did. Even though I had nothing to prove I actually was but voice clips with no instruments. The shear determination of my 26 year old self almost feels like someone else. When my memories flash to those days it's like I'm watching a movie about someone else's life, certainly not mine. But that was the start. It was the building blocks to this moment when perhaps I wasn't but was one day gonna be.
It is the weirdest feeling truly. Its uncomfortable and doubtful with moments of did I really release an album? Are people going to understand what I'm saying? Will anyone hear it, like really hear it? The journey to where I am today was dependent on many different factors. Choices, I see now but didn't understand when I went through them. From saying, to doing.
The album is meant to be listened to from start to finish. It was written like a book, by me about experiences I went through and experiences I witnessed. It's very true to life which means it's pages ripped from my diary. It's as honest as I could get.
On the dock of my parents lake, in my deepest of despair. I looked to the sky and declared I would make a horribly painful breakup a beautiful experience. I can now say after 3 years, I have.
To Be Sown on iTunes now, please enjoy and share a review:)
