Doll headed to Philly, L.A., London . . .

25-city radio and media tour, plus Philly, L.A., London all coming in the next three months!!  Things are getting hectic and I am doing all of this with my team as an independent label.  Don't tell me it can't be done! People will support real music when you make it available.  I love my fans!!  Because of them, plus my fabulous team (partners Condia-Vetta Prestige Entertainment and DigiBoogie International), nothing is out of reach.  I am going worldwide baby!! MAJOR impact WITHOUT A MAJOR LABEL.  Believe that.

So, where do I start? I was just selected for one of the 5 exclusive performance slots at the Harvard ROCKS Music Showcase in Los Angeles on January 27, 2011.  That is the day before my album release party in Beverly Hills on Jan. 28.  I will be on stage in front of world famous songwriters, producers, and record executives. I mean literally the best in the world.  I really need for all of my L.A. people (and everyone who was planning to travel out for the album release party) to come on Jan. 27 and support me!  I will give you the time and place details soon . . .

This weekend, I am headed to Knoxville, TN for a show and a live radio interview on WUTK 90.3 FM.  I am looking forward to the show at Ray's.  If you happen to be nearby, come holla at me!  9pm, December 3.

********************Bring the Music Back
Here's an artist you really should know: Bashiyra from the U.K. is a singer/songwriter witrh a vibe that will remind you of Sade.  She is an award-winning artist, and she is the only guest-starring musician on my reality show for Season 1!  Bashiyra will be headed to the States in February to hang out and do a show with me while finishing the recording of her second studio album with legendary producer Herb Middleton (Mary J. Blige, Bobby Brown, Notorious B.I.G., Nas, Al Green).  Then in March, Bashiyra will host me in the U.K. and we'll do another show!  Bashiyra and I met on the set of the Mo'Nique Show and she is truly a great artist.  http://www.bashiyra.com
********************

So much else is happening . .  that it's hard to tell it all.  But stay tuned!  Always more to come. 

My thought for today: Be faithful in the thing that you know you MUST do.  Everything you need will then find its way to you.

That's a bit from my Diamond Mind.  Tell me what's on yours . . .

Peace from The Dollhouse.

Doll is Goin Back to Cali; Looking for an Angel

It is countdown to 2011 . . . I'm headed to Los Angeles in January for a few BIG events. It's time to take this dream to a nationwide audience, and L.A. is the first stop. Why? Because for one thing, it is the city of dreams (wait, is that New York?) but most importantly for me, because that's where my parents lived and recorded with gospel greats (and my dad had a gospel record store and a radio show) in the years before I was born. It is the place I heard them tell stories about when they talked about what they "used to be" and "could have been." I don't want my life to end with a list of what I "could have been." So, here I go - I'm officially a California Girl. Well not for real because ATL is where it's at, but I am goin' back to Cali. The take over has hit the road.

Speaking of my dreams . . .
For those of you who know me well, you know that I write songs in my sleep. Like literally I will dream an entire song, hear the full band arrangement, harmonies, crazy lyrics and everything. Then I will wake up and have about 2 minutes to try to record it into my phone before it leaves my mind forever. Those are the songs that come straight out of my spirit, and bypass my mind altogether. I have never recorded one of those spirit songs without moving someone that hears it to chills or tears. It is a God thing. So I have had two nights in a row of the most amazing music coming out of my dreams. I hope to get in and record them soon. I used to run from my gift, but a wise woman told me to stand still and face it and embrace it. Once you give your gift to the world, it is out of your hands but you can't make magic with a closed fist. True words.

*****************Girls Just Wanna
Ok, so every girl, no matter how successful, still wants someone in their life they can just . . . you know . . . BE with. You ever wanna just BE? So every successful woman has gone through this -- you work hard to become successful, and then the men around you are intimidated by you! I know it's not just me. Matter of fact, Aretha Franklin went through it and wrote a song about it. Check me out singing it:



Anyway, I'm not sweating it . . . I know my prince will come :-)

Thought for the Day:
I tend to say "You are unstoppable as long as you don't stop." What I mean is, "DO NOT try to stop me because if you do you will get RUN OVER!!" I am not somebody who woke up yesterday and decided I am cute and want to be a singer. This is my destiny, so don't mess with me . . . ya heard?!

That's a word from my Diamond Mind. Let me know what's on yours -->;

BRING THE MUSIC BACK****************************
I am now a new and fanatic fan of Rahbi Raw www.myspace.com/rahbi.  When I tell you this man is the truth, I cannot be more emphatic.  He is THE TRUTH!  You have to see this phenom perform to believe it. 
I have the pleasure of sharing the stage with Rahbi this Saturday Oct. 30th at the Gammon Ave. 80s House Party in Atlanta.  We will represent and tear the roof off the mother in true supernova fashion.
Yes, real music is alive and well.  The industry is sleeping but the beat still goes on.  You have to see for yourself . . .
**************************************************
I will also be ripping the stage this Sunday Oct. 31 at the Royal Peacock red carpet launch in Atlanta.  Come watch me do what I do . . . 

I will be filming several music videos during the month of November . . . oh and my LIMITED EDITION CD is dropping 11.09.10 so you have to stay tuned for updates on that.  Also putting together some more dates for you fans at venues in ATL, New York, LA, and UK.  The Doll Avant movement is kicking into overdrive . . . just sit back and enjoy the ride . . .


My thought for today:  I say it all the time.  You are unstoppable as long as you don't stop.  Don't let anything or ANYBODY tell you what you can't do.  You are bigger than any limitation they try to put on you.  You will rise and you will shine if you refuse to quit.  


That's a word from my Diamond Mind.  Tell me what's on yours.. . .
