"Cross My Mind" music video!!!

Hey family!

For once, I'll keep it short & sweet and just let the music and the images speak for themselves.

A huge THANK YOU to the song's producer and co-writer Silver Roland, and of course, my first ever video director, Francisco Fuentes (http://www.birdoproductions.com/). Yet another sweet, talented professional I had the pleasure of working with. I love my job! :-)


Here it is, "Cross My Mind":

RELEASED!

It's ALREADY a good day, and there's still so much more of it left :-). Spoke to two photographers about upcoming shoots, about to have lunch with one of my favourite musicians (Skillz-3-baby-what-you-need-lady!... sorry, you had to be there), then off to my on-camera scene study class in the Annex. Have I told you how much I love my life? I really do.

This is all coming off the heels of what happened yesterday. I got the call!  Yes, the call we're always waiting for! All my actor friends will know what I mean by that, but what I'm saying is I BOOKED A ROLE IN A MUSICAL set to be staged Feb/March 2012 :-). I truly enjoyed the experience of every community theatre musical I've ever been in, but being booked in my very first professional (i.e. paid, lol) musical production feels like a step up the ladder I've been climbing on for years. I love that it's with an independant theatre company, which is well-known in the community for "developing and producing works rooted in experiences of the Canadian and International Black Diaspora" (as stated on their website).

So if you've read this far, you probably want to know the name of the play, the name of the theatre company, what it's about or possibly, all of the above? I'm afraid I can't say, as the company themselves haven't announced or released information about it as yet, so I'm not sure if I'm supposed to. Don't want to talk myself out of a job, ya know?  But if you know me, you know I'm ALWAYS online, and the minute I can blab away about it, I will!!

Having said that, I DO still have something for you: my new single CROSS MY MIND!  I've talked about it, posted about it and now it's poised and ready for the taking! This track is but one example of why I love working with artist & producer extraordinaire, Silver Roland. He wrote & produced Cross My Mind by sculpting a beloved hip hop sample into a soulful ode to love and summertime. I appear as co-writer, vocalist and grateful muse. The song doesn't just sound good, it feels good. The beat, the melody... it was fun to record and even better to listen to when it was all done.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I have been released. Introducing Cross My Mind:
