Laurapenpusher’s Weblog

Forgive me, but every blog I have will be the same thing for a few days. This is my son’s new album. He’s put in a lot of time, sweat, tears and his own money into its production and he’s fulfilled a lifelong dream in getting it done. I don’t believe in using blog space to promote things, but what can I say, I’m a “mom” and this is my “kid”…I’m proud of his accomplishments! This is the only promotion he’s done so far, simply an email to friends and family. I’m the one choosing to share it with everyone I can.

HELLOOOO EVERYONE!

3-1/2 YEARS IN THE MAKING…

In Los Angeles, everone and their mom has some sort of project or enterprise they’re trying to get off the ground or be a part of, and as annoying as that can be, it’s one of the reasons I love L.A. People don’t come to LA to “chill” or “relax”…they come here to HUSTLE! To chase and fulfill whatever dream that’s been keeping them awake at night for SO MANY years! Well, for me, after 3 1/2 years of learning to produce, arrange, write, design and record, it’s finally time to SHOW AND PROVE!!!

My goal was to naturally create a sound that encompassed everyting that I am, I was, and hope to be…with honest, soulful, original, progressive music. To say “original” is very hard. We’ve all heard the saying “There’s nothin’ new under the sun” and for the most part, I agree. But someitmes an idea comes along that might not be original in thought but is definitely original in sound, presentation, timing and experience, and that is what I believe I’ve been able to provide with my new album, “HELL OR HIGH WATER.”

Another pose from the photo shoot.

This album is about Strenth, Love, Movement, Vulnerability, Humanity, the Collective “WE”, The Moment and above all else, the importance of Love.

I am an Idependent artist and extremely proud to be so. This album was written, produced, and performed by myself. I had help along the way from some very special friends but this was definitely MY labor of love.

I won’t take up anmore of your time because I’d rather you spend it going to my “myspace” page and discovering for yourself what I’ve been working on.

If you dig what you hear, please support by buying the album from my page ($10.98 w/tax) and by telling friends and family. If you’re somebody in the music biz (or know somebody) tell them you hears some CRAZY NEW SH*T that they need to hear ASAP!!!

Thank you in advance.

PEACE
AND BLESSINGS
