Delve

Descripción

In 2009, when my daughter was a baby she cried for what seemed to be all night long, every night, for two years. I discovered the one thing, even more than nursing, that calmed her, and kept my sanity, was singing. Then, in 2010, when my son was five years old, I became adamant that he begin music lessons. After a few lessons he said, 'Mom! I don't want music, YOU want music!' I said, 'Wow. You're right. I do.' After an award-winning public radio career of turning the microphone on mothers nationwide to capture their intimately personal experiences about pregnancy, birth, and motherhood, I realized, in that moment, something was fundamentally missing from my work, something that came to me in the wee hours of night. For the first time, I was moved to turn the microphone toward my own journey. Since then, I have worked intensively with David Rosenfeld to hone my voice. In doing so, a wellspring of 10 original songs have emerged. In June 2013, I ran a successful Kickstarter Campaign and raised over $15,000 to co-produce, with David, my debut studio album, DELVE. 'Your songs and lyrics are beautiful." - Elizabeth Lesser, Founder of The Omega Institute and NYTimes bestselling author of Broken Open: How Difficult Times Can Help Us Grow 'Your songs are deeply personal, and your performances have a fine quality of communicating, as if it were one-on-one. I noticed that you change your voice quality for each song, in a most appealing way.' - Elizabeth Lauer, critically acclaimed composer who worked with Columbia Records in the years of Clive Davis 'Your voice is heavenly and the lyrics are uplifting." - Amir Bar-Lev, Sundance-winning filmmaker 'I love your songs!
