The white elephant in the room that we're all asking ourselves - is our planet dying? For some it's an easy question to answer, but for others it's more convenient to turn the blind eye and blissfully ignore the warming signs our planet is exhibiting. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiavI8a6LmSYS3CIt_8sOUmVMhDGCzeh5Qwo0kN7ona6AKoj3sU_4z2g6XvCfAvQvuoqM0PwjD6unsvSpltljK_Yahy6NAstxPFSMR-yo_vSP8gH25Y0iy0P7k9AZCZpZJWeVnRb9zbsCyaru2ig2RSvIDt4zRZcnWM8aNOmR-qABD9gMz0G6Ec7Hk1dA/s1080/Global%20Warming.PNG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiavI8a6LmSYS3CIt_8sOUmVMhDGCzeh5Qwo0kN7ona6AKoj3sU_4z2g6XvCfAvQvuoqM0PwjD6unsvSpltljK_Yahy6NAstxPFSMR-yo_vSP8gH25Y0iy0P7k9AZCZpZJWeVnRb9zbsCyaru2ig2RSvIDt4zRZcnWM8aNOmR-qABD9gMz0G6Ec7Hk1dA/s320/Global%20Warming.PNG" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" height="320" width="320" /></a></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br></span></div><div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><a href="https://katieannmusic.com/2045" target="_blank">2045</a> isn't necessarily about a dying Earth, it proposes the possibility of changing course together as one, in which humanity takes steps towards a more sustainable planet. Providing the opportunity for listeners to think about the future and our seeds of generations to come who will inherit the condition of our planet. Are we setting them up for failure? Certainly without our planet humanity will die. Taking care of Earth should be a priority for every human, being responsible for their small part makes a big impact on the overall quality of our environment. </span></div>

It took less than 2 weeks to record the songs but halfway through recording I had to face a very difficult loss, my Kitty of 12 years unexpectedly passed away after suddenly becoming ill. It was a difficult loss to process as I had joyfully anticipated my son meeting his fur sister, a faithful companion who had been by my side through all my important adult milestones.</span><span face="Arial, sans-serif"></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in; text-align: center;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif">I mourned her loss as I channeled the pain and tears through the final songs that needed to be recorded. It was very difficult but I knew it had to be done and I felt an urgency to finish the project as it became harder to endure the physical pain as my pregnancy progressed after the emotional turmoil I became engulfed with. </span><span face="Arial, sans-serif"></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in; text-align: center;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif">Then another sudden turn of events came just 3 days after I finished recording the album and 10 days after Kitty’s passing. My water unexpectedly broke 6 weeks early, just a half hour before my online birthing class was about to begin. My son was born early on May 16th, 2021. After 32 days in the NICU he finished climbing his mountain and finally he was healthy and strong enough to come home. </span><span face="Arial, sans-serif"></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in; text-align: center;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; margin: 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif">This album means so much more to me than the relaxing escape that I hope my listeners will take away and enjoy. It’s a symbol of perseverance even during the hardest times, just as I found the stamina and motivation to take this album to the finish line during some of my lowest points physically and mentally, my son found the same strength to survive a very difficult first month of his life. Our reward is now the greatest happiness and love we could have ever imagined. </span><span face="Arial, sans-serif"></span></span></p>

Sapphire Beach is a blissful place full happy beach goers, music, snorkeling, parasailing, and beachside grilling. Fleetwood Mac had a vacation home steps away from the sun bathers, known as the "Mac House." This place left a special imprint engrained in my memory of a trip I took with my husband, <a href="http://theridekatieann.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/www.mczill.com" target="_blank">MC ZiLL</a>, celebrating our 3rd Anniversary.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">My favorite song on my album <a href="http://theridekatieann.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/www.RejuvenationVibes.com" target="_blank">Rejuvenation Vibes</a> is Effulgent Moon. This song captures the essence of a calm still night with an overwhelming sense of mystery. I used a pentatonic scale system when I designed the melody and rhythmically I used tempos from gamelan music based on a 7 count time signature. </div>

In this blog I'm going to share with you what my husband and I learned successfully selling our home Fizbo. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">FSBO wasn't an easy journey; selling our home off season in the winter only to later be hit by the coronavirus pandemic. Nonetheless, we persisted and managed to succeed in finding a buyer and closing on our home. In the end we were very happy with our results because the thousands of dollars we saved by not having to pay a real estate agent covered the majority of the closing costs for our new home.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jC-HUhucyHI/XzgOawp7PVI/AAAAAAAA-Z8/Jwv6FfoMarIrWhNik9HI0Ouay8lfpMG6wCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/Sell%2BA%2BHouse.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jC-HUhucyHI/XzgOawp7PVI/AAAAAAAA-Z8/Jwv6FfoMarIrWhNik9HI0Ouay8lfpMG6wCLcBGAsYHQ/w512-h512/Sell%2BA%2BHouse.png" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" height="512" width="512" /></a></div><h3 style="text-align: center;"><b>Is FSBO right for you?</b></h3><p style="text-align: center;">If you've put a lot of work into your home and your house in excellent shape then chances are the home will sell itself, therefore FSBO should be a great match. Another good FSBO scenario is if your home isn't fixed up or not in great condition and you just want to get out of the home for the bare minimum. This situation will appeal to bargain investors, such a people who flip homes to sell or rent. </p><p style="text-align: center;">No matter what your situation is in order to succeed in selling your home on your own you must be flexible. If you have a tight timeline to move then FSBO might not be a good fit. Most real estate agents are incredibly savvy at selling a home quickly, they have a long list of serious buyers who are ready to buy a home, industry connections, great communication, and are smooth talkers with sales. As a Fizbo seller you will need to create a team to fill these shoes. It's a major commitment that will require a lot of time and energy to keep up with the sharks and professionals that make up the real estate industry. </p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-muTrQyGLZK0/XzgOzY5PpoI/AAAAAAAA-aI/uviki7JEZYkJ_YwC1plrQoyulEhRqXwNwCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/sell%2Bhouse%2Bby%2Bowner.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-muTrQyGLZK0/XzgOzY5PpoI/AAAAAAAA-aI/uviki7JEZYkJ_YwC1plrQoyulEhRqXwNwCLcBGAsYHQ/w512-h512/sell%2Bhouse%2Bby%2Bowner.png" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" height="512" width="512" /></a></div></h2><h2 style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: xx-large;">Steps To Sell Home FSBO</span></b></h2><h4 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4MkJ7BsxO04/XzgPH3tQlfI/AAAAAAAA-ac/WseWqtMDPQ0TynCMVO1ELDE3VOAlOs_4wCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/Prepping%2BHouse%2BTo%2BSell.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4MkJ7BsxO04/XzgPH3tQlfI/AAAAAAAA-ac/WseWqtMDPQ0TynCMVO1ELDE3VOAlOs_4wCLcBGAsYHQ/w512-h512/Prepping%2BHouse%2BTo%2BSell.png" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" height="512" width="512" /></a></div></span></h4><h4 style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><u>1. Prep Your Home</u></span></h4><p style="text-align: center;">Before listing your house on the market make sure you have it properly prepared so your home will appeal to motivated buyers. </p><p style="text-align: center;">- <i>Fix any repairs</i>, especially those that may not pass FHA appraisal inspections. </p><p style="text-align: center;">- <i>Declutter</i> the entire home, garage and yard. Junk and clutter will prevent the buyer from picturing your home as their own. Go beyond picking up trash, toys, old things, and focus on leaving shelves bare, desks and dressers cleared off, closets nearly empty. This will allow the buyer to see empty shelves and closets and picture what they would put there. They are already making your home their own.</p><p style="text-align: center;">- <i>Pack Up!</i> The best way to show your buyer that you're motivated to sell is having your belongings packed up. We didn't have the luxury of selling our home without anyone living in it because we were buying our new home based on the contingency of selling our current home. It is possible to live in the home while selling it! Packing up almost all of our belongings except the essentials helped us sell our home while we lived in it. We stored the boxes and totes in a storage room in our basement, which turned out to be a great selling point when buyers saw how much stuff we could fit! If you don't have a feasible storage area on your property consider renting a pod or storage unit until you can officially move.</p><p style="text-align: center;">- <i>Thoroughly Clean!</i> A clean home will sell significantly faster than a dirty home. The last thing buyers want to think about is cleaning up after a stranger. Make sure your home is spotless and glowing so you make the impression that you've taken good care of your home. </p><p style="text-align: center;">- <i>Stage Home! </i>After the house has been organized, packed up, and cleaned it's now time to stage the home to create a cozy feeling for the buyer. Using minimal furniture and little decor, stage the home so it has a nice flow that makes sense to the buyer for everyday living. Be sure to position furniture and decor so it makes the rooms look bigger not crammed. For instance hanging smaller artwork or no artwork at all on walls will make the walls look larger and will allow the buyer to think about what they would want to hang on the wall, again subliminally making your house their own. </p><p style="text-align: center;">- <i>No Personal Items! </i>It's an important objective for the buyer to be able to picture your house as their own. It's a major turn off for the buyer to see others personal items and beliefs in a home they want to make their own. Be sure to pack away all of your photo albums, frames, and other personal belongings, including religious items. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wwEgIeOmsa4/XzgPUEPfY3I/AAAAAAAA-ag/OrfvXQhPVocV-4B6ddbHd-p311CY7uYVACLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/Real%2BEstate%2BPhotographer.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wwEgIeOmsa4/XzgPUEPfY3I/AAAAAAAA-ag/OrfvXQhPVocV-4B6ddbHd-p311CY7uYVACLcBGAsYHQ/w512-h512/Real%2BEstate%2BPhotographer.png" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" height="512" width="512" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;"><b style="font-size: x-large;"><u>2. Take Professional Photos</u></b></p><p style="text-align: center;">Now that your home is packed, cleaned, and staged it's time to get some great photos of your investment! It's worth the money to hire a professional photographer to capture all the great assets your home has to offer. It's important to have wide angle lens for your staged home. When we originally uploaded our home for sale online we used photos that we took ourselves but we got a significant amount of more traffic and interest once we uploaded professional photos to our online portfolio for the home. </p><h4 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LmmNWC3vfZA/XzgP7GLUAtI/AAAAAAAA-aw/1eNOngHFZgc5LEnxlAjEPt6-0GGLFcRmQCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/Price%2BA%2BHome%2BTo%2BSell.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LmmNWC3vfZA/XzgP7GLUAtI/AAAAAAAA-aw/1eNOngHFZgc5LEnxlAjEPt6-0GGLFcRmQCLcBGAsYHQ/w512-h512/Price%2BA%2BHome%2BTo%2BSell.png" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" height="512" width="512" /></a></div></span></h4><h4 style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><u>3. Set Realistic Price</u></span></h4><p style="text-align: center;">There are many tools available to help you find the price that is right for your situation. You wouldn't be selling your home FSBO if you didn't want to achieve selling your home for the maximum price! It will be important to have evidence to support your pricing point, otherwise buyers could use the Zestimate as a guideline and low ball you. We found that the Zestimate was horribly underpriced for our home, which was something that made it more difficult to sell our home for the price we wanted.</p><p style="text-align: center;"> The tool that will help you justify your price the best is paying for an appraisal. Typically the buyer pays for the appraisal, which is ordered by their lender during the closing process because it's very important for banks to confirm that the home is worth the amount of money their lending. Banks will only loan the amount that the house is appraised for, anything more must be accounted for by the buyer. This is where bid wars become tricky during the closing process. </p><p style="text-align: center;">A free solution to help set a realistic price is to order a couple different comp reports of the homes currently on the market and recently sold in your area. You can ask local real estate agents to help you with this. Most real estate agents will jump on this opportunity in hopes that you will convert from FSBO to hiring them as an agent. If you're willing to pay their somewhat hefty fee, usually 6-7% of the selling price, then it may be worth it to have an agent take on the tedious work to find a buyer and help you close on your home. This is a decision you can make once you decide a realistic price for your home and determine how much money you need to make from your investment. </p><p style="text-align: center;">Once you set your price be firm with it but allow wiggle room. What price would you like to get but also what's the lowest you're willing to go? My husband and I turned down 3 low ball offers before going under contract with a buyer who backed out, and finally going under contract with our buyer who ultimately bought the house for what we were asking. Be patient for the right offer to come along and don't cave in to people who low ball. We also learned that every time we changed the price on Zillow it sent out an email notification to the several hundred people who saved our home. This was a great way to promote, but we had to do so delicately as we didn't want to drastically adjust the price of the house. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-z_tPfdXZNfg/XzgQOKr15oI/AAAAAAAA-a4/hMQmmfEl6hYfYZfRnMunMnyd-hOrC41pwCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/FSBO.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-z_tPfdXZNfg/XzgQOKr15oI/AAAAAAAA-a4/hMQmmfEl6hYfYZfRnMunMnyd-hOrC41pwCLcBGAsYHQ/w512-h512/FSBO.png" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" height="512" width="512" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><u>4. Promotional Gear and Plan</u></b></span></p><p style="text-align: center;">Now that your home is prepped and you have awesome photos it's time to get your promotional gear and establish a plan that works for you to <i>get the word out that your home is for sale</i>! </p><p style="text-align: center;">- Buy a for sale sign that doesn't look cheap and won't fall over. We found that having a sign was important as we got a lot of foot traffic from people driving through our community looking for homes with for sale signs. Having a quality sign that's designed to be durable will be key to establish a professional ambiance. I highly recommend <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MEI8UA8" target="_blank">this sign from amazon</a>, it hardly budged and survived the inclement weather during the rough winter season in Buffalo, NY. </p><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

</tbody></table><p style="text-align: center;">- Use your social media platforms to help spread the word that your home is for sale. You can even take out ads on your social media to boost traffic. </p><p style="text-align: center;">- If you live in a community that will benefit from printed flyers, then design informational flyers and place them in strategic places that will generate enough foot traffic to help get the word out. We did not use flyers to help sell our home because it was winter season when we put our house on the market and we found that using the internet was more powerful. </p><p style="text-align: center;">Consider putting an ad in your local paper or magazine.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><u>Promotional points to include in your timeline as you sell your house:</u></p><p style="text-align: center;">- Coming Soon</p><p style="text-align: center;">- New Listing</p><p style="text-align: center;">- For Sale</p><p style="text-align: center;">- Open House</p><p style="text-align: center;">- Sale Pending</p><p style="text-align: center;">- Sold</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qFj-baWWrE0/XzgRMcxILDI/AAAAAAAA-bI/TZB4APw1yN8eZGUuHt23j1e0zuzqrGRQQCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/home%2Bfor%2Bsale.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-qFj-baWWrE0/XzgRMcxILDI/AAAAAAAA-bI/TZB4APw1yN8eZGUuHt23j1e0zuzqrGRQQCLcBGAsYHQ/w512-h512/home%2Bfor%2Bsale.png" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" height="512" width="512" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;"><b style="font-size: x-large;"><u>5. Create Description Of Home For Listings</u></b></p><p style="text-align: center;">This is your opportunity to highlight all the great assets, upgrades, and renovations your home has to offer. From the headline, opening statement, features, to the closing statement; your description should be concise and avoid any negative or confusing words, like fixer up, needs TLC. Most importantly, make sure your description is proof read by one or two parties since accuracy and professionalism will go a long way appealing to potential buyers. <a href="https://www.zillow.com/agent-resources/blog/writing-real-estate-descriptions/" target="_blank">Here's a helpful blog discussing creating real estate descriptions</a>. </p><p><b><u></u></b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><u><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VhyGTp0E8rk/XzgRvbSk8BI/AAAAAAAA-bQ/7RXTyqHQdlULn21ZMh55WxBConRjJ6bTwCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/List%2BIn%2BMLS.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VhyGTp0E8rk/XzgRvbSk8BI/AAAAAAAA-bQ/7RXTyqHQdlULn21ZMh55WxBConRjJ6bTwCLcBGAsYHQ/w512-h512/List%2BIn%2BMLS.png" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" height="512" width="512" /></a></u></b></div><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><u><span style="font-size: x-large;">6. Get In The MLS</span></u></b></p><p style="text-align: center;">The MLS is a directory of houses on the market that connects real estate agents with buyers. When a home is added to the MLS, through a filtration system it will ping with the buyers who are looking for a similar home, then the real estate agent will connect their clients to the home. Buyers don't get access to the MLS, it's a catalog for real estate agents only to help connect their buyers to the right home. Having a real estate license is the only way to get listed in the MLS. However if you're FSBO you can pay a nominal fee to use a middle man, like <a href="http://forsalebyowner.com" target="_blank">forsalebyowner.com</a>, to get your home listed in the MLS. It will cost a couple hundred of dollars depending on the package that's right for you, but it will help sell your home much faster and will weed out serious buyers only.</p><p style="text-align: center;"> If you don't get in the MLS you will most likely appeal to buyers who aren't represented by a real estate agent, which is a small pool of home buyers and it could take longer to sell your home. Wishy washy buyers and lookie-lou's usually don't have real estate agents and aren't in a hurry to buy a home.</p><p style="text-align: center;"> Just because your buyer has a real estate agent doesn't mean you have to pay any agency fees. You can clarify this with your buyer and the agent, that you're willing to work with buyers agents but you will not be paying any agency fees. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KFFJhGyZpZ8/XzgSAgsR_lI/AAAAAAAA-bY/bNX-79x3k8kC6P49-kp92OHEjK7L8mzCACLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/List%2BYour%2BHome.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KFFJhGyZpZ8/XzgSAgsR_lI/AAAAAAAA-bY/bNX-79x3k8kC6P49-kp92OHEjK7L8mzCACLcBGAsYHQ/w512-h512/List%2BYour%2BHome.png" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" height="512" width="512" /></a></div><p style="text-align: center;"><b><u><span style="font-size: x-large;">7. List On Zillow and Other Services </span></u></b></p><p style="text-align: center;">Now that you have all of the prep work done it's time to officially put your house on the market by getting listed. While <a href="http://theridekatieann.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/www.zillow.com" target="_blank">Zillow</a> is the most popular listing site for sellers to directly connect with buyers, there are plenty of other online listing sites that are free or offer services for a nominal fee.

Open House</u></b></span></p><p style="text-align: center;">Inviting buyers and agents into your home for an open house isn't required but will significantly help on your quest to find the one buyer you need. Here are some helpful tips that we learned along the way. </p><p style="text-align: center;">- <i>Sundays from 1:00-3:00pm</i> are the best day to host an open house but find out when other homes for sale in your neighborhood are having open houses and coordinate yours around their time. When buyers are in the neighborhood they're more likely to hit up all the available open houses that meet their criteria. </p><p style="text-align: center;">- <i>Have a shorter open house</i> as opposed to a longer. A shorter time frame will allow more traffic. The more people that visit your open house all at once the better, especially if buyers are overlapping their tours. This creates a sense of urgency for the buyer to make an offer before someone else does, clearly multiple people are interested in the home. </p><p style="text-align: center;">- <i>Take precautions</i> to protect yourself from people who will take advantage of you opening your home. Do not leave out any personable items, especially of value. You can even ask guests to sign in and check ID if you want to keep track of who is coming into your home. </p><p style="text-align: center;">- <i>Make sure your home is spotless clean and smells good</i> for the open house. Quiet relaxing background music, <a href="https://www.katieannmusic.com/rejuvenation-vibes" target="_blank">like this album</a>, can be played to help the buyer feel calm and at ease. </p><p style="text-align: center;">- <i>Promotional Tip!</i> Every time you host an open house an email blast goes out twice to all of the people who have saved your home on Zillow or meet your homes criteria, once you create the open house and the day of the event. This significantly helps with promoting your home and if you're lucky enough Zillow will chose your home to be featured in their open house suggestion email blast or blog.</p><p><b><u></u></b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><u><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ccXZxl_6z5s/XzgSuF2OgnI/AAAAAAAA-bo/zGsyJQ8BMzg95sApEdU467aC2LffUgcKgCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/FSBO%2Bhome%2Bshowings.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ccXZxl_6z5s/XzgSuF2OgnI/AAAAAAAA-bo/zGsyJQ8BMzg95sApEdU467aC2LffUgcKgCLcBGAsYHQ/w512-h512/FSBO%2Bhome%2Bshowings.png" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" height="512" width="512" /></a></u></b></div><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><u><span style="font-size: x-large;">9. Showing Your Home</span></u></b></p><p style="text-align: center;">During open houses and showings it will be important that you give a clear precise tour that respects the buyers time. Be very descriptive about the perks of the house such as items you upgraded, replaced and/or have extended warranties for the new home owner. Be honest about flaws and imperfections, instead of trying to hide them as most of these imperfections will come out later in the inspection and appraisal, which will then lead to negative negotiations. It's important to make the tour about connecting the buyer to your home! Do not talk about anything personal during the showing, including your family or your plans to move. </p><p><b><u></u></b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><u><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XCiDvrBhu1E/XzgS3vinSqI/AAAAAAAA-bw/fdAoGmLhD4IzaJIzB6JmdDw0vALBz0T9gCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/Going%2BUnder%2BContract%2BTo%2Bbuy%2BHouse.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XCiDvrBhu1E/XzgS3vinSqI/AAAAAAAA-bw/fdAoGmLhD4IzaJIzB6JmdDw0vALBz0T9gCLcBGAsYHQ/w512-h512/Going%2BUnder%2BContract%2BTo%2Bbuy%2BHouse.png" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" height="512" width="512" /></a></u></b></div><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><u><span style="font-size: x-large;">10. Negotiations and Going Under Contract</span></u></b></p><p style="text-align: center;">Once a buyer is interested you will receive an offer. An official offer will be in contract format usually after you have spoken and agreed on a price. Don't be surprised if you receive a contract without speaking about the offer first, if you don't like the offer your can counteroffer. </p><p style="text-align: center;">Once you accept an offer you will go under contract and enter sale pending status. From here your real-estate lawyer will help you through the closing process. From the buyers inspection, repair requests, appraisal, and final closing documents. </p><p style="text-align: center;">Waiting in limbo is never easy and takes time, usually 1-3 months to finally close. Be aware that unless it's specified in your contract with the buyer, at this point you don't have to take your house off the market or stop accepting new offers, as there could be a chance the buyers will back out. </p><p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b></b></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rRuoxcTjeEs/XzgTF28pdrI/AAAAAAAA-b4/QbpiXyAhB4YZI9qVqceQPG2w_CPPfXwNwCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/sold%2Bhome.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rRuoxcTjeEs/XzgTF28pdrI/AAAAAAAA-b4/QbpiXyAhB4YZI9qVqceQPG2w_CPPfXwNwCLcBGAsYHQ/s640/sold%2Bhome.png" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" height="640" /></a></b></span></div><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><u>11.

<div style="text-align: center;"><span style='font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;'>Music is a powerful and affective way to communicate. Reading music is equally as difficult to learn as learning a foreign language. Beginner piano lessons are very tedious because the language of music is completely new to the student. The best way to overcome frustrations and develop into a strong piano player involves allocating the time to learn how to read music notation. Becoming a fluent reader of the music staff, consisting of the treble clef for higher sounding notes and the bass clef for lower sounding notes, will enable students to sight read with any sheet music. Just like all languages, it takes time, dedication, and lots of effort practicing to learn.<p></p></span></div>

Throughout the process, simple and small victories help motivate students on daily and weekly bases. A goal-minded attitude teaches students to never give up, even amidst extremely difficult circumstances. It may take hundreds of times for a pianist to ultimately play a song with ease, but nevertheless the song will be mastered forever. Students experience pure euphoria once a song mastering goal is attained and many pianists say it is an irreplaceable feeling to reach these moments in life.

<div style="text-align: center;"><span style='font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;'>Good vibrations set us free! Music therapy is an all-aged practice used by many of us to manage and heal ourselves. Sound vibrations alter our brain waves to create a state of ease and harmony, producing a positive effect throughout our bodies, especially in our immune system. People suffering from anxiety and depression will benefit from the positive vibrations. Music also triggers memories, which is helpful for patients suffering from dementia or Alzheimer’s disease. Stroke patients respond well to music therapy and even music theory to regenerate brain and muscle function. One of the greatest gifts a fluent musician can give is to play therapeutically for others, such as volunteering to play at a hospital or nursing home.<p></p></span></div>

Giving yourself the opportunity to overcome the obstacle results in the reward of patience.

<div style="text-align: center;"><span style='font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;'>The belief of learning how to play piano is something we cultivate through our musical efforts, by learning the language to help strengthen both our physical and mental well-beings. Students will never stop growing as piano players with the concept that they are in control of their musical abilities. There will always be a new song to play – another musical challenge to accept and obstacles to overcome. The underlying belief that you are in control of your own destiny allows us to grow, shine, emit and share positivity, and most importantly change our community. Change occurs one day at a time and one song at a time.</span></div>

This is my chance to get carried away with the song and try many ideas. Nothing is permanent. The final version of my song comes into fruition like an ice sculptor, chipping away, cutting, and slicing until the song has morphed into one simultaneous entity. With a rush of energy and concentration, pre-production always is fast moving so I can let ideas naturally flow without slowing down. You won't be able to reach me during this phase of songwriting, as I'm always in airplane mode when I write. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NQeyK16JfmE/Xf1bYbo0_UI/AAAAAAAA9L4/gvZ90k8J5yQJF9v3TkRqyBTscanWdyUwgCEwYBhgL/s1600/recording%2Bmusic.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NQeyK16JfmE/Xf1bYbo0_UI/AAAAAAAA9L4/gvZ90k8J5yQJF9v3TkRqyBTscanWdyUwgCEwYBhgL/s400/recording%2Bmusic.png" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" height="400" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><u>Pre-Recording</u></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">This is a tedious but necessary part of building my songs.

I pulled up to a bowling ally anxious to hop out of the car to meet a friend when I suddenly slammed my door into the car next to me. I had completely forgotten my doors weren't heavy anymore in my new P.O.S car. I left a pretty nice dent.<br>Even though it was small I'm still a firm believer in karma and doing the right thing... at least trying.<br>Begrudgingly I used my friends business card to write a note that I left flapping in the wind under the windshield blade, saying <i>I'm sorry I dinged your door. </i><i>It was windy.</i> Signed with my number.

It was a guy with a cute voice explaining that he got this note from me on his windshield and I had dinged his door. <i>Yup, that's me! Sorry about that</i>! He then went on to explain about how I didn't need to worry about fixing it, that it was only the size of a Chinese checker and he could fix it himself. I thought it was so nice of him to not take advantage of me. We carried on with our conversation and discovered that we're both music teachers and hip-hop recording artists. I was so happy to finally meet someone in this new place I now call home that makes hip-hop music!

It turns out the song held a special place in ZiLL's heart because at the time his Grandma was in the hospital. He could relate to the message of the song. <i><a href="http://theridekatieann.blogspot.com/2014/04/creating-music-video-sai.html" target="_blank">Stay strong and tell yourself it will be alright</a>.</i> It's what his Grandma use to always tell him growing up. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/3FYcHP_XL6I/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/3FYcHP_XL6I?feature=player_embedded" width="320"></iframe></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">Quickly a long time friendship was forming between the two of us based on our connection and love for music.

These people judged our special friendship and said I shouldn't be hanging out with a guy, drinking wine and making music unless I plan on marrying him. Is this a joke? I get the no sex thing, but not even Jesus juice or music!? Come on, can't people just be friends? It's a funny thing my husband and I reflect on today because these people judged us without knowing what God truly had intended for us because we ended up being soulmates!<br><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GyuFUOLZqBU/XUbscvyFVzI/AAAAAAAA7qg/nG0lpYxhLgYfZGThgKwV3vC6vzH4gayUACLcBGAs/s1600/Katie%2BAnn%2Band%2BMC%2BZiLL%2Bsoulmates.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-GyuFUOLZqBU/XUbscvyFVzI/AAAAAAAA7qg/nG0lpYxhLgYfZGThgKwV3vC6vzH4gayUACLcBGAs/s400/Katie%2BAnn%2Band%2BMC%2BZiLL%2Bsoulmates.jpg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" height="400" width="266" /></a></div>

<div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: center;">Mismatching bridesmaid dresses within the wedding color palette have been a trend that isn't going anywhere anytime soon. It's considerate of the bride to allow her ladies to chose a dress they are comfortable in and results in very flattering photos! Stick to the parameters of your wedding style when it comes to colors and type of bridesmaid dress, such as long or short, velvet or another type of fabric.</div></div>

<div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: center;">For relatively the same cost as a live flower bouquet you can have a forever bouquet. Personalize your bouquet by using loved ones brooches or find ones that are symbolic and of special meaning. It's a nice way to hold someone close who can't physically be at your wedding but is there in spirit. Another bonus to having a brooch bouquet is that you can eliminate a variable of error by having all your bridal accessories together well in advance before your wedding so there are no last minute wedding day surprises if your live bouquet didn't turn out quite how you planned.</div></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Share a special moment with your soulmate right before the ceremony by having a first look before you walk down the aisle. While this is unorthodox for a traditional wedding, it's a nice opportunity for intimate couple photos with your professional photographer before the wedding ceremony begins. This will save time after the wedding ceremony and allow you to have more time to mingle with your guests especially if your cocktail hour immediately follows the ceremony. </div>

<b>Website </b>
</div><div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.katieannmusic.com/" target="_blank">Consider this your hub to showcase your music</a>. A place where anyone can access all of your music and you can learn information about your following. Your <a href="http://www.iplayweddingmusic.com/" target="_blank">website</a> will be continually evolving as you release new music and highlight the old. Keep in mind that when you sell music and merchandise directly through your website you will make 100% profit, verses the digital stores where an aggregator places your music and takes a cut (<a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/katie-ann/523585318" target="_blank">itunes</a>, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Driven-Katie-Ann/dp/B0762SNTRH/ref=sr_1_10?keywords=Katie+Ann&qid=1554995637&s=dmusic&search-type=ss&sr=1-10" target="_blank">amazon</a>, <a href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/2St9y3DScOvkd76hNJfNyK" target="_blank">spotify</a>, <a href="https://store.cdbaby.com/artist/KatieAnn" target="_blank">CD Baby</a> and <a href="https://www.iheart.com/artist/katie-ann-30043669/" target="_blank">more</a>). It's a good idea to direct traffic to your website to encourage fans to buy your music there first!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">Your website will house your music, biography, shows, news, digital press kit and more. <a href="https://bandzoogle.com/" target="_blank">Bandzoogle</a> makes it easy for artists to build a website that they can continually update at anytime. This is helpful to keep the website budget down and always be able to edit your website without knowing the complicated digital coding language on the backend of websites or hiring a website designer. Bandzoogle has a user friendly emailing system to store your email fan list and quickly design then send email updates to your fanbase.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Email List</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">Your <a href="https://www.katieannmusic.com/contact" target="_blank">email list</a> is one of the most valuable tools to stay in contact with your fans. While it might be difficult and time consuming to collect emails, an email is a reliable source that you will always own. Social media sites, such as myspace or google plus, can fade and become obsolete. Once they do all of the time, money and energy you spent into those contacts will die with it. Instead use these social media sites as tools to build relationships with fans that lead to gaining emails. An email can lead to a fan buying your new albums for the next ten years. It will take time to build a strong email list but over the years it will become large and a great way to connect your fans with your musical evolution. One of the easiest ways to gain emails is to have an email list available at your performances and gigs.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Blog</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">The benefits of having a <a href="http://theridekatieann.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">blog</a> are endless and often times over looked by music artists. A blog is the perfect place for artists to communicate with their fans on a <a href="http://theridekatieann.blogspot.com/2014/02/behind-ever-be.html" target="_blank">deeper level</a>, <a href="http://theridekatieann.blogspot.com/2014/12/merry-christmas.html" target="_blank">get personal</a>, <a href="http://theridekatieann.blogspot.com/2014/03/all-about-fates-lover.html" target="_blank">tell stories about their releases</a>, <a href="http://theridekatieann.blogspot.com/2019/03/set-up-your-music-project-to-legally.html" target="_blank">share knowledge</a>, and <a href="http://theridekatieann.blogspot.com/2019/02/sundress-covers-season-two.html" target="_blank">so</a> <a href="http://theridekatieann.blogspot.com/2019/04/new-on-music-scene.html" target="_blank">much</a> <a href="http://theridekatieann.blogspot.com/2018/08/100-song-suggestions-for-weddings.html" target="_blank">more</a>. Before you know it you will accumulate a ton of blog entries. In addition to entertaining your fans, you can monetize your blog so you can make money from advertisers!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">Most importantly, having a blog will help your SEO tremendously by linking and back-linking to your website and other sites. Pictures that are properly tagged will excel in search engines when you have a blog that it getting traffic.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">Reaching out and networking with other bloggers will richen your clout score to help you appear on the internet more. Find a music blog that will write a story about you or share your music and backlink the article to your website, blog and their website.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Press Release </b></div><div style="text-align: center;">Get the news and local media outlets to <a href="https://news.wbfo.org/post/student-recordings-benefit-music-art" target="_blank">write a story</a> or <a href="http://www.dailypublic.com/articles/01272015/buffalo-teacher-raps-against-common-core" target="_blank">review </a>about your new music release by sending out a press release. A press release is a professional email that you send to local press in your surrounding area. Your email should include key facts about your release in a storytelling fashion. If the press finds your story interesting and timing works out, chances are someone in the press will pick it up. Having press run a story about your music will generate an extra buzz that people will take serious. Having an article written about you or <a href="https://www.wgrz.com/video/news/local/project-joy-for-brain-cancer-research/71-2823489?scroll=0" target="_blank">being in the news</a> or a <a href="https://espn1520.radio.com/media/audio-channel/12-17-wny-work" target="_blank">radio interview </a>will help you stand out as a professional, access new fans. It will also strengthen your SEO, clout score by back-linking to your website, and will be a crowd pleaser on social media.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">Start collecting press contacts and create a special press group within your email contact list. Over time you will create these unique contacts through networking at shows and online. If you're new to the business or going on tour to a place where you have little contacts, do a simple google search such as "submit press release to news in (city)." Most major news stations have a page on their website where you can submit stories and breaking news.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Launch Event</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">There are many different unique kinds of events to <a href="http://theridekatieann.blogspot.com/2017/07/driven-record-release-party.html" target="_blank">launch your new music</a>. Finding the event that's right for you will depend on the type of music project you are releasing.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">Here are some ideas:</div><div style="text-align: center;">- Listening Party</div><div style="text-align: center;">- Website Launch</div><div style="text-align: center;">- Music Video Premiere</div><div style="text-align: center;">- Record Release Party</div><div style="text-align: center;">- Artist Meet & Greet</div><div style="text-align: center;">- Single Celebration</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">You're more likely to <a href="https://www.buffalorising.com/tags/katie-ann/" target="_blank">gain press exposure</a> when you have a physical event that involves the community. Be sure to add your event to local print or digital magazines that list events. Many of these are free listings and will improve your clout score when done correctly online, in addition to bringing more potential new fans to your event. It's also a great idea to invite critics to review your new music and concert. This will be a great followup article after your launch event.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Social Media</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">Notice that social media is towards the end of this blog article. Many artists solely rely on social media to push their music. On the contrary music fans don't find new music solely on social media. Where do you find new music that you connect with?</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">Social Media has significantly changed the music industry because you can reach anyone anywhere using social media properly. The trick with social media is to engage with your followers rather than collect followers and likes. Make real connections with people by commenting, sharing, messaging and more. It gives people a sense of empowerment when they feel involved with your music career. Let them know how much their support means to you!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">There are ways to drive people away from your music by abusing the power of social media with obnoxious spamming. Posting the same content over and over again will do you a dis-service and cause people to unfollow you. Instead think of clever ways to spin and creatively display your new music over a series of many different posts centered around the same topic. Always be respectful and leave personal matters out that could offend your fan base. Be open minded that your fans come from many different walks of life but have one thing on common; their love and appreciation for your music! Sometimes saying less is better. After all people are following you for your music, stick to that topic!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>Recommended Social Media Sites: </i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">

Printing flyers or posters and placing them in coffee shops, grocery stores, libraries and more. Be respectful where you distribute your literature. Be careful that you're not littering or leaving material in a private space where it will be thrown in the trash. Most public spaces have a bulletin board or a space in their store designated for the community to share their news, pictures, flyers and posters. If you don't see anything ask an employee if you can leave some of your literature.</div><div style="text-align: center;">

Tenth grade students are required to create a project over the school year about any personal long term goal they desire. Anna decided for her project she wanted to professionally create music that could be released on spotify and other digital platforms.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">Anna Russo has been taking piano and voice lessons from producer, Katie Ann, for many years. After Katie Ann released her sophomore pop album, Driven, Anna approached Katie Ann about hiring her for the music project. She trusts her teacher and appreciates her artistic style and professional music career. Katie Ann guided Anna through every step, sharing her knowledge of the music industry, helping to bring her songs into fruition. Last summer Anna brought her lyrics, music ideas and chord progressions to Katie Ann. From there Katie Ann orchestrated and arranged the music, then coached Anna so she would be prepared for the recording studio. The day after Anna's homecoming dance, all the tedious pre-production work was finally done and the team professionally recorded the music at GCR Audio in Buffalo, NY. Music engineer, Justin Rose, recorded, mixed and mastered the project. Once the project was complete the team released the songs, utilizing Katie Ann's publishing company, LK PRO to assist with the professional release. Now the music is available world-wide on every digital platform! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-NelFynJIDOU/XKeEziS3GdI/AAAAAAAA6UM/ILgdNP6i0zAW3LeKSIc2lPR1x3bEw2_UwCLcBGAs/s1600/Anna%2BRusso%2BSpotify%2BFavroite%2B.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-NelFynJIDOU/XKeEziS3GdI/AAAAAAAA6UM/ILgdNP6i0zAW3LeKSIc2lPR1x3bEw2_UwCLcBGAs/s400/Anna%2BRusso%2BSpotify%2BFavroite%2B.JPG" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" height="400" width="300" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">

Now, as a professional musician I find her dedication to music invigorating and inspiring. Her lyrics are deeply touching and I always find comfort escaping the bustling world, becoming tranced with her soothing tunes. After years of loving her music, last weekend I finally got to see my favorite artist perform live in concert. It was the perfect experience that I'll never forget.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-pa-BuWyQadY/XJpCRwrfdoI/AAAAAAAA6PE/BlpH0RV6CBomPcJteOv_4Wy4vWimO3seACLcBGAs/s1600/mariah%2Bcarey%2B.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-pa-BuWyQadY/XJpCRwrfdoI/AAAAAAAA6PE/BlpH0RV6CBomPcJteOv_4Wy4vWimO3seACLcBGAs/s400/mariah%2Bcarey%2B.JPG" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" height="336" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/mariahcarey/" target="_blank">Photo Courtesy Mariah Carey Facebook Page</a></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;"> On a blistering cold March evening hand in hand, my <a href="https://mczill.com/" target="_blank">hubby </a>and <a href="https://www.katieannmusic.com/" target="_blank">I</a>, raced into the theatre to escape the freeze. We we're embraced by a quiet lobby full of people with one common agreement, get through security asap. Quickly we were inside where the excitement filled the air. I had never seen so many <a href="https://buffalonews.com/2019/03/24/gallery12061/" target="_blank">happy different walks of life</a> in one place before. This moment was the happiest place on earth. <a href="https://www.sheas.org/" target="_blank">Sheas theatre</a> was the perfect venue for this classy affair. Crystal chandeliers draped, bubbly steadily flowing, it was truly exquisite. No one was in a rush, our good looking crowd mingled with each other cooing over our favorite Mariah Carey songs. Then the chime rang- it was time!<br><br>
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Shea's centuries old, operah style theatre, only enhanced the grand ambiance. <a href="https://www.instagram.com/djsussone/?hl=en" target="_blank">DJ SussOne</a> got the crowd hyped with jams from the eighties and nineties and had the entire crowd singing along nearly every song. It felt like the ultimate concert choir, we sounded good and the acoustics of the theatre couldn't be any better.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">But, for such a singing crowd everyone fell silent when Mariah Carey took the stage. The moment we had all been waiting for. Lights. Camera. Action. Mimi started with a bang. Opening with <a href="http://her%20lyrics%20are%20deeply%20touching%20and%20i%20always%20find%20comfort%20escaping%20the%20bustling%20world%20becoming%20tranced%20with%20her%20soothing%20tunes/" target="_blank">A No No</a>, a hit from her new album, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Caution-Explicit-Mariah-Carey/dp/B07JHPSDHB" target="_blank">Caution</a>. Her set was ginormous tiers of stages, like a wedding cake, with a stair case down the middle, surrounded by layers of giant screens playing incredible visuals perfectly synced with luscious colorful lighting. MC looked gorgeous in her glittery gown but even more incredible was hearing her voice live. She sounded just like her records except slightly changing the songs to groove with her band. It was an incredible experience to hear her songs performed with a live band in a way I had never heard her before. Mariah's voice is truly iconic, the way she hits her angelic highs and raspy lows, there is no one like her. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-vKI1DW_qFfU/XJpDkYQoMjI/AAAAAAAA6PQ/teSfD9ZF_pI2TdBoqfp3lqkudReBOLoDQCLcBGAs/s1600/Mariah%2BCarey%2BCaution%2BTour%2BBuffalo%2BConcert.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-vKI1DW_qFfU/XJpDkYQoMjI/AAAAAAAA6PQ/teSfD9ZF_pI2TdBoqfp3lqkudReBOLoDQCLcBGAs/s400/Mariah%2BCarey%2BCaution%2BTour%2BBuffalo%2BConcert.JPG" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" height="400" width="318" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/mariahcarey/" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">Photo Courtesy Mariah Carey Facebook Page</span></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">Her energized performance was well orchestrated and very personable. Mariah opened up and let the audience into her world, her thoughts and motivations behind the songs she wrote. She flawlessly carried through song after song, keeping the audience in suspense, which song would she chose next from her vast catalog? She played at least a song from every album. Moving from upbeat songs accompanied by her HOT dancers, to slow powerful ballads that moved the crowd to tears. At one point she announced that she had some special guests. I assumed a rapper, but instead "Always Be My Baby" started with adorable photographs of special family time with her twins on the big screens. Then out comes running two adorable little kids with not a shy bone in their body, flying to give their mom and hug center stage. It was a touching moment to see how loving Mariah is with her children. At the end of the day she is a person just like us, and it's clear that the most important thing to her is her family.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rfgVAvJbbsg/XJpDtomDKVI/AAAAAAAA6PU/jSQkPHrKvM0DpWAB-Xry4LZmMqcRVPRdwCLcBGAs/s1600/mariah%2Bcarey%2Btwins.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rfgVAvJbbsg/XJpDtomDKVI/AAAAAAAA6PU/jSQkPHrKvM0DpWAB-Xry4LZmMqcRVPRdwCLcBGAs/s400/mariah%2Bcarey%2Btwins.JPG" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" height="400" width="345" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/mariahcarey/" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">Photo Courtesy Mariah Carey Facebook Page</span></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">Second most important to her is <a href="https://twitter.com/lambily?lang=en" target="_blank">#Lambily</a>.

But, before you take off running to promote and share your music with the world, make sure you cover your bases with these 5 valuable suggestions.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">Before you begin to release your music double check that your music project is complete. Has it been mixed, mastered? Does it have ISRC Codes embedded? Have you made your split contract with any other artist, producer, manager, publisher or any other party affiliated with creating the music project? If yes, then you're ready to begin taking the legal business steps to prepare to release your project.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_8pSbFHUExY/XJZtYOY1G-I/AAAAAAAA6Mw/SDRpXUUB7kQcsBYvHvNG3VGfPHvvoi5rACLcBGAs/s1600/create%2Bsheet%2Bmusic.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_8pSbFHUExY/XJZtYOY1G-I/AAAAAAAA6Mw/SDRpXUUB7kQcsBYvHvNG3VGfPHvvoi5rACLcBGAs/s400/create%2Bsheet%2Bmusic.jpg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" height="400" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>1. Copyright Your Music</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">Register for an account at the <a href="https://www.copyright.gov/?_ga=2.139463093.726499783.1553270549-329547683.1493134057" target="_blank">U.S. copyright office website</a>, then for a small registration fee fill out the copyright registration application and submit your music. It's a lengthy process that can take up to a year but get it started before you release your music.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">By taking this important step you are protecting your intellectual property. Once your song is copyright protected you can earn royalties if someone wants to use this material. They will have to obtain a mechanical license (if another artists wants to perform your song), synchronization license (to place your music in a motion picture or video) or a public performance license (artist performs your song live).</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZuLobeM-Hxs/XJZvL2oYaDI/AAAAAAAA6NE/ebUe1rz2Y5o1UAr3X55rjZQgaVtXbN0_ACLcBGAs/s1600/Katie%2BAnn%2BGrossi%2BMusic.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZuLobeM-Hxs/XJZvL2oYaDI/AAAAAAAA6NE/ebUe1rz2Y5o1UAr3X55rjZQgaVtXbN0_ACLcBGAs/s400/Katie%2BAnn%2BGrossi%2BMusic.jpg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" height="265" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>2. Performing Rights Organizations</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">In order to begin collecting royalties for your music you must be registered with a performing rights organization. The job of a P.R.O (ASCAP or BMI) is to collect royalties paid by radio stations, TV networks, venues and any place that plays music with a copyright. The P.R.O then distributes the money to their affiliated songwriters and publishers.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://ome.ascap.com/" target="_blank">Register for a small one time fee of $50.00 to join ASCAP as a writer</a> and take the first step to collect royalties. Once you become a member you can register your songs so they can be tracked, using the ISRC code embedded in your song.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3IwO6BgIIZY/XJZvqUcwD3I/AAAAAAAA6NM/KzVTN4lrkRo5LQFtw6nDqbncvdN1X4V8gCLcBGAs/s1600/wedding%2Bpianist%2Bbuffalo%2Bny.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3IwO6BgIIZY/XJZvqUcwD3I/AAAAAAAA6NM/KzVTN4lrkRo5LQFtw6nDqbncvdN1X4V8gCLcBGAs/s320/wedding%2Bpianist%2Bbuffalo%2Bny.jpg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" height="212" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>3. Get An Aggregator</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">An aggregator provides the service of distributing your music globally through digital stores and streaming platforms. Your aggregator will not only place your music on these platforms but some will also collect royalties for you that are connected to your performing rights association. <a href="https://cdbaby.com/song-registration.aspx" target="_blank">Register to become a CD Baby Pro member</a> to do just this, then you can set up the release of your music project. There are many aggregator service options but CD Baby only charges you once to release a project where other companies charge you to renew your project every year which can become costly over the years. CD Baby also has its own store which allows physical merchandise sales, such as CD's. This option is available when you release a music project.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-X70ecAhdhM8/XJZw8fZHwgI/AAAAAAAA6Ns/msKdORAhhRgM_x1aVcB0xz56pZO0dQpBQCLcBGAs/s1600/arrange%2Bsheet%2Bmusic.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-X70ecAhdhM8/XJZw8fZHwgI/AAAAAAAA6Ns/msKdORAhhRgM_x1aVcB0xz56pZO0dQpBQCLcBGAs/s1600/arrange%2Bsheet%2Bmusic.jpg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>4.

You can't monetize your video if you don't own the copyright for the music being played in your video unless you have a mechanical or synchronization license.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">

It's never a comforting feeling when the word cancer is brought up so I tried not to jump to the worst conclusion. Luckily for me the diagnosis was precancerous and my treatment would be fairly painless. Two days later I was starting a topical chemotherapy treatment.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">I really didn't know what I was getting myself into and surfing the web only led me to traumatizing images! I had a huge live recording event in a week and half that I had been rigorously training for months. Do I cancel it? I decided to cancel the open session event and focus on just recording the cover song project in the studio. I selected ten of my favorite cover songs for my project called sundress covers season two.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">I became weaker the days leading up to the recording session and I began to fear the worst case scenario. I found <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5d6TriLBQmE&t=20s" target="_blank">meditating</a> and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/yogawithadriene" target="_blank">yoga</a> really helped me stay centered and not focus on the pain that the treatment caused. The "medicine" is literally killing cells, a process that turns your body into a battlefield.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">I found strength in combating the negative fears and thoughts. This recording session became evermore important to me as I realized this could all end soon. I manifested the courage to break through these negative elements and expose a new refined soul to my playing. Playing like it could be the last time. Reminding myself that every day is a gift. That my talents are a reward of my healthy being.</div><div style="text-align: center;">

<br>
</div><div style="text-align: center;">The day of the recording session came. Despite feeling sick I was invigorated and had adrenaline pumping to keep me motivated. I was at one of my favorite places doing one of my favorite things. I bulldozed through all ten songs like a steam train going through all seasons in one trip. Fully focused. I loved it. My playing was more delicate than usual and far from perfect. But instead of playing mechanically and striving for perfection, I was simply playing because I could. When my body was breaking down I could still do my favorite thing and it felt very rewarding. Recording sundress covers under this circumstance allowed me to become more vulnerable in the moment and trust.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">Six months later after three rounds of topical chemo to my body, I am now feeling great. All the pain and angry skin was just temporary. I'm getting back to normal and my stamina is returning. I learned so much from this experience. Can't take life for granted. Have a support system. I'm forever thankful for the people I have in my life who supported me during this chapter, especially my soulmate.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZjuOnsu8wyA/XGWYAk7pSQI/AAAAAAAA52E/bQudAhqKUwcP9Yz5hEWkxlInOqQUzZHbACLcBGAs/s1600/Katie%2BAnn%2Bmusic%2Bproducer.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZjuOnsu8wyA/XGWYAk7pSQI/AAAAAAAA52E/bQudAhqKUwcP9Yz5hEWkxlInOqQUzZHbACLcBGAs/s320/Katie%2BAnn%2Bmusic%2Bproducer.jpg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" height="320" width="213" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>What is Sundress Covers?</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">Sundress Covers is an act of love.

She's a classically trained pianist and that shines through in the ease her songs flow when they're being played. The finger movement and chord progressions are very fun to play! But don't get it twisted, they certainly aren't easy songs to play! I perform <i>Empire State Of Mind (Part II), </i>which is in the key of F# major with 6 sharps! Not an easy key to read yet very soulful. My theory is the more accidentals there are then the more soulful and deep the song sounds. Sometimes writers are going for a more shallow sound and the key of C or a minor is easy breezy.</div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tIZcHFYkxZo/XGWfYyfvXOI/AAAAAAAA53E/2t16_-aVHIkobdQF1NEwCvJxF1xNAtpnQCLcBGAs/s1600/katie%2Bann%2Bgrossi%2Bsinging%2Bpianist%2BLK%2BPRO.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tIZcHFYkxZo/XGWfYyfvXOI/AAAAAAAA53E/2t16_-aVHIkobdQF1NEwCvJxF1xNAtpnQCLcBGAs/s320/katie%2Bann%2Bgrossi%2Bsinging%2Bpianist%2BLK%2BPRO.png" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" height="320" width="251" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Sundress Covers Season Two Playlist! </b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">Black Balloon - The Goo Goo Dolls</div><div style="text-align: center;">Building A Mystery - Sarah Mclachlan</div><div style="text-align: center;">Dreams - Cranberries</div><div style="text-align: center;">Empire State Of Mind - Alicia Keys</div><div style="text-align: center;">Homesick - Dua Lipa</div><div style="text-align: center;">I Care For You - Aaliyah</div><div style="text-align: center;">Paradise - Coldplay</div><div style="text-align: center;">Stay - Rihanna</div><div style="text-align: center;">Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd</div><div style="text-align: center;">You Gotta Be - Des'Ree</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IEL7R8tmXTo/XGWf-8DeyjI/AAAAAAAA53Q/KtuPkucLpJw84RoHP0PuRhIVpAAKUvO_gCLcBGAs/s1600/Katie%2BAnn-%2BMatch%2BMade%2Bin%2BHeaven.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-IEL7R8tmXTo/XGWf-8DeyjI/AAAAAAAA53Q/KtuPkucLpJw84RoHP0PuRhIVpAAKUvO_gCLcBGAs/s320/Katie%2BAnn-%2BMatch%2BMade%2Bin%2BHeaven.jpg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" height="320" width="213" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><h4><b><u>About Katie Ann</u></b></h4></div><div style="text-align: center;">Composer of the album, <a href="https://www.katieannmusic.com/wedding-music" target="_blank">Wedding Music</a>, ASCAP member, <a href="https://www.katieannmusic.com/" target="_blank">Katie Ann</a>, is a <a href="https://www.katieannmusic.com/production" target="_blank">music producer</a> and <a href="https://www.katieannmusic.com/discography" target="_blank">music artist</a> who has successfully released many works of art through her publishing company, LK PRO.

Guests didn't travel near and far to have the scenario of uncomfortable silence, confusion or talking over loud music. Your prelude music should gently create a loving atmosphere while showcasing music selections that describe the union of your marriage.</div><h3>

<div style="text-align: center;">Processional </div>
</h3><div style="text-align: center;">Your musician will direct your guests attention that it's time for your wedding to begin. The processional is the grand entrance of the wedding party. Romantic rhythmic music is played as the wedding party marches down the aisle. A musician will transform time and space to adjust the music perfectly to fit your venue location, bridal party size and speed of walking so music starts and finish perfectly on cue. Without a musician you run into many problems like the possibility of a song awkwardly cutting off once the bride has reached the alter or running out of music by the time the bride reaches the end. But a great musician can create a medley of songs for your processional that will be perfectly synced for each section of your wedding entrance. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Ue9Ne8sWAI0/XFNm7Ek0PBI/AAAAAAAA5z0/CtfJlAE4XW8fQCK7TOLpRSn5NHpDfPjyQCLcBGAs/s1600/katie%2Bann%2Bwedding%2Bpianist%2Bprocessional%2Bmusic.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Ue9Ne8sWAI0/XFNm7Ek0PBI/AAAAAAAA5z0/CtfJlAE4XW8fQCK7TOLpRSn5NHpDfPjyQCLcBGAs/s400/katie%2Bann%2Bwedding%2Bpianist%2Bprocessional%2Bmusic.jpg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" height="266" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Wedding Party and Bridal Processional order suggestion</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">-Seating of the Mothers/Grandparents/Special Family Members</div><div style="text-align: center;">- Groom, groomsmen and officiant</div><div style="text-align: center;">- Bridesmaids, junior bridesmaids, maid of honor</div><div style="text-align: center;">- Flower girl, ring bearer</div><div style="text-align: center;">- Bride and Father of the bride or other significant person</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">Consider selecting a song for each of these categories and have your musician make a medley to blend each song depending on the walking pace. Usually the musician takes a dramatic brief pause before the bride enters giving guests the opportunity to stand and direct all their attention on the blushing bride making her grand entrance. This is the moment all brides dream of. Without a live musician this precious element often gets overlooked because there's nothing to guide the guests attention. A wedding rehearsal will help the timing so your musician and wedding party are on cue and in sync. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-4agQlerK3Ow/XFNdiyfdiRI/AAAAAAAA5zM/oy7FV0qVDNgfnpE15svhdtEX2CuM-1PWgCEwYBhgL/s1600/music%2Bfor%2Ba%2Bwedding%2Bcermeony.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-4agQlerK3Ow/XFNdiyfdiRI/AAAAAAAA5zM/oy7FV0qVDNgfnpE15svhdtEX2CuM-1PWgCEwYBhgL/s400/music%2Bfor%2Ba%2Bwedding%2Bcermeony.jpg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" height="266" width="400" /></a></div><h3 style="text-align: center;">Interlude </h3><div style="text-align: center;">Special songs played during the wedding ceremony. Some couples chose for no music to be played during the ceremony and can avoid a wedding rehearsal with their musician. Others request songs of meaning for the unity sand/lighting candle, communion, prayer, hymn. If you have a talented special guest or family member who sings or plays an instrument this could be a nice opportunity for a tribute song with your professional musicians assistance. Practicing together the day before at the wedding rehearsal will be ideal if you're having a special guest collaboration. If your musician is playing interlude music a rehearsal will be critical so the officiant and musician are on the same page with timing. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-sqSIX67pni8/XFNfR9IZPbI/AAAAAAAA5zU/D0s_M53LTVo8YkhCSaspK_4e6MZJSN32wCLcBGAs/s1600/Wedding%2BPianist.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-sqSIX67pni8/XFNfR9IZPbI/AAAAAAAA5zU/D0s_M53LTVo8YkhCSaspK_4e6MZJSN32wCLcBGAs/s320/Wedding%2BPianist.jpg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" height="213" width="320" /></a></div><h3 style="text-align: center;">Recessional</h3><div style="text-align: center;">End on a monumental note. During the recessional joyful upbeat songs begin celebrating your nuptials as you exit the ceremony as husband and wife for the first time. Consider requesting your musician to play your favorite quirky song from your early dating days. A great musician can transform any song and will be willing to learn a new song if it's not already in their repertoire. Some weddings end with a recessional line where guests exit in a line to greet the newly wed couple as they leave the ceremony venue. You may want to consider extending your recessional music so your guests aren't waiting in silence after such a blissful exit. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Xl0PjyttPEY/XFNm7M_4-TI/AAAAAAAA5z4/Y424l4YalSIyFKLB9YT9xN7nqkZKKW20QCLcBGAs/s1600/katie%2Bann%2Bgrossi%2Bwedding%2Bpianist.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Xl0PjyttPEY/XFNm7M_4-TI/AAAAAAAA5z4/Y424l4YalSIyFKLB9YT9xN7nqkZKKW20QCLcBGAs/s640/katie%2Bann%2Bgrossi%2Bwedding%2Bpianist.jpg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" height="426" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">As you can see there are many integral parts to a wedding ceremony.

It's one of the largest parks in the country with hiking trails and plenty of roads to go cruising. We would have explored a hiking trail to the eternal flame (a naturally gas lit flame inside a waterfall) but we decided to stick to the roads because of the mud from recent storms. The fire pit in the visitors lodge kept us warm while we admired the breathtaking view of our Queen city. <br><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-l9CmlWe2vjo/W-r9kSkjnyI/AAAAAAAA260/ZLJ2T4LrBZs7H2ZZXU9n2JEv3KGY296HwCLcBGAs/s1600/Fall%2BWedding%2BIn%2BBuffalo.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-l9CmlWe2vjo/W-r9kSkjnyI/AAAAAAAA260/ZLJ2T4LrBZs7H2ZZXU9n2JEv3KGY296HwCLcBGAs/s320/Fall%2BWedding%2BIn%2BBuffalo.JPG" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">Fight the time change and gloomy days by getting the adrenaline going. This time of year I shamelessly binge watch my favorite scary movies and programs.

This fall my hubby and I binge watched <a href="https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/the_haunting_of_hill_house/s01/" target="_blank">The Haunting Of Hill House</a> in three days. I highly recommend this netflix program if you're a fan of ghosts! </div>

People are envious of those who actually have a fun job and work for themselves. It will be hurtful when people you thought would believe in you aren't there to be encouraging about your career goals. Be sure that you don't internalize others ill will towards you or loose faith in your abilities because people want to see you succeed. That's their problem, not yours.

Be A BOSS</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">All successful careers are hard to reach. Is passing the bar exam easy? It takes years of education to become a doctor or lawyer. Yet being a musician means that you will never stop learning. You will never stop growing with your skill and you will never stop training. There will always be room to evolve as a creator of music. There will always be a new song to learn. Like an athlete you need to be skillfully trained for a long performance or recording. Once your ego thinks you're the best then you have decided to stop growing, keep that in check and always remain humble.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-11hVRyezO1w/W8DQkaG3StI/AAAAAAAA2FA/omKNSZ66yTgCtKhb_-Kg92F9PS6GaobmgCLcBGAs/s1600/learn%2Bmusic%2Bwith%2Bkatie%2Bann.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-11hVRyezO1w/W8DQkaG3StI/AAAAAAAA2FA/omKNSZ66yTgCtKhb_-Kg92F9PS6GaobmgCLcBGAs/s400/learn%2Bmusic%2Bwith%2Bkatie%2Bann.jpg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" height="400" width="265" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>3. Learn something new everyday</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">Become educated musically. Go to college. Take lessons. Find a mentor. Develop your skill. Practice. Perform. Learn a new song. Put yourself out there. Then do this all over time and time again. It is monotonous and the definition of insanity but it takes a great deal of talent and effort to reach the professional level. Most people aren't born with prodigy star-like skills, people earn it. Someone making the effort day in and day out will eventually surpass another's natural ability that isn't exercised enough.

If you're not making money then it's just a hobby. Aa a professional musician you are an independent contractor, you work for yourself and pay your own taxes.

Being able to hand an industry professional your CD will make your more memorable and set you apart from others chasing the same opportunities. Financial sacrifices are necessary to invest in your music to create a product and begin building a portfolio. Make recordings and have them available online so you can create a digital portfolio and press kit. Just like all fine things in life the more you put in the more you will get back. I find that seeking the highest quality is key to a great project.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-y9s6xrJ5308/W8DS6HyXctI/AAAAAAAA2FY/1x8c9O0dKWs17crEJPU_YUD4DronUYISgCLcBGAs/s1600/produce%2Ba%2Bcustom%2Bsong.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-y9s6xrJ5308/W8DS6HyXctI/AAAAAAAA2FY/1x8c9O0dKWs17crEJPU_YUD4DronUYISgCLcBGAs/s320/produce%2Ba%2Bcustom%2Bsong.jpg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" height="320" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>6. Take initiative and do it yourself</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">Don't wait around for your next big break. Consider yourself very lucky if someone wants to financially sponsor the costs to create your musical project. It's unrealistic to think someone else is financially obligated to cover the costs for your project. The reality is that most likely someone else is not going to execute your creative artistic vision and do the work for you! It's your priority to find a way to execute your musical visions and financially back them up. Even it means getting a second job, applying for artist grants or fundraising. Keep track of all your business expenses because these are write-offs! Most start up businesses take three years to establish a steady revenue so expect this to take some time. </div><div style="text-align: center;">

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>7. Get A Producer</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">Find a producer to help you write your songs. Someone who composes and arranges music in the direction of the stylized music you're looking for. Be open minded to the producers ability to capture the message of your song and bring it to life right before you through the speakers. Finish pre-production, get studio time and record professionally. Don't second guess the talent and skill that a good professional recording engineer will bring to your project. A second set of ears is just the beginning of the benefits a pro will help to enhance your music, especially when it comes to mixing and mastering. The music industry will be able to instantly recognize music that has been professionally mixed and mastered. Keep in mind that they're looking to work with people who are ready to work right now, not still in the process of developing so don't cut corners. It's easier said than done but no matter what life circumstance you're in; if you're a singer, music artist or writer you should have enough fire within to want to make the sacrifices to find a way to create your artwork so you have a product to offer.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-AWfQc26sT18/W8DR5pLwxsI/AAAAAAAA2FQ/rrkYosu4cGU_w64UYHWfqZGRoHRwkU-ggCEwYBhgL/s1600/sheet%2Bmusic.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-AWfQc26sT18/W8DR5pLwxsI/AAAAAAAA2FQ/rrkYosu4cGU_w64UYHWfqZGRoHRwkU-ggCEwYBhgL/s320/sheet%2Bmusic.jpg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" height="320" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>8.

Learn about the steps it takes to properly release music so it can be traced and you can earn royalties.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">The traditional formula for the music industry changed in the new millennium when digital music killed the need for record labels.

There are many opportunities out there for musicians to earn a living. The more ambitious and creative you are the more revenue you will generate. Earn the respect and give back to your community utilizing your talents by teaching, performing, volunteering and being part of music benefits for helpful causes.

Be authentic and never stop creating</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">Rome wasn't built in a day and neither will your music career. Just like every love story is different so will your journey to establish a successful music career. There will always be a new song to write and another opportunity around the corner, this is is your job! Continue to build, believe in what you do and the message behind why you are inspired to be a creator.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">Entertainers have endless power at their fingertips with the vast internet to promote artistic ideas and connect with fans. Create music videos and other creative artistic mediums to connect with your fans through social media and digital platforms. New connections can be made on a daily basis with power of promoting yourself using the advertising and marketing tools the internet has available.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">Ultimately having a music career is not a competition about being the best, collecting accolades and post likes. It's about being uniquely YOU with your art. Making music that is authentic to your message and story about life. All forms of art are subjective and you won't be the right fit for everyone. That's alright! As one of my favorite singers said, "Dust yourself off and try again. You can dust it off and try again, again and again." Free download if you know who wrote that quote!

<div style="text-align: center;">It was a blissful activity for the students to record in a rockstar's recording studio. With that joy also comes intimidation, a fear musicians plant at an early age. It takes practice to overcome the obstacle of stage fright. Katie Ann teaches her students to gain confidence by focusing on what they want their song to embody instead of how others will critique. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">Katie Ann advises her students using a puppet show analogy; "This is your "puppet show". You can't worry about what other people are going to think about it. Instead you must focus on how you're going to present the "puppet show" and being in character to preserve the ambiance your song entails." </div>

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">A year after our wedding, my husband and I arrived home from celebrating our blissful first anniversary (what we like to call our second honeymoon). Unfortunately, we came home to the worst news of our lives. ZiLL's father, Bob, was diagnosed with a glioblastoma, an aggressive grade IV tumor originating in the brain. More simply put, it was brain cancer. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">My husband and I felt helpless but wanted to do something to help with the coping process. We designed <a href="http://theridekatieann.blogspot.com/2017/12/project-joy.html" target="_blank">Project Joy</a> just in time for Christmas. It was a <a href="http://theridekatieann.blogspot.com/2018/01/on-mission.html" target="_blank">series of holiday musical concerts to raise awareness and money to help find a cure for brain cancer</a>. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-lXbADtaYAPk/WzQl_XriacI/AAAAAAAAvy0/B5_TD2Wal0YfldMeYyeFHkYYFNfu9e9cACLcBGAs/s1600/Christmas%2Bcaroling%2Bwith%2BKatie%2BAnn.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-lXbADtaYAPk/WzQl_XriacI/AAAAAAAAvy0/B5_TD2Wal0YfldMeYyeFHkYYFNfu9e9cACLcBGAs/s320/Christmas%2Bcaroling%2Bwith%2BKatie%2BAnn.jpg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" height="190" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We reached out to Pastor Debi to ask if she would host a benefit concert at her church.

He started hospice care in December 2017. The days, weeks, and months went by for ZiLL and I. My father-in-law surprised us all with his stamina and ability to continue fighting for many months after he started with hospice. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">Although Bob was as strong as they come, he only continued to grow weaker. It was agonizing knowing the inevitable was coming but not knowing when his struggle would end. Our family made the most out of this heartbreaking situation by cherishing what felt like "extra time together." </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;"> Little did we know what inspiration was about to come next. In May, we received a message from Pastor Debi asking us to write a hip-hop song about a biblical story. Pastor Debi selected the infamous story of Moses being called by God to lead the Israelites out of Egypt. She wanted us to perform the song for an important assembly in Rochester, NY, called the Synod Assembly. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">Having only three weeks to complete the project, we channeled our artistic energies. We utilized the collective fire inside us, inspired by this creative opportunity, to quickly create <a href="https://katieannmusic.com/album/808469/he-s-calling-me" target="_blank">the song</a> and accompanied <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5sDwgeTXELU" target="_blank">sharp lyric video</a>. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/5sDwgeTXELU/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/5sDwgeTXELU?feature=player_embedded" width="320"></iframe></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://youtu.be/5sDwgeTXELU">https://youtu.be/5sDwgeTXELU</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">As the assembly grew closer, Bob became extremely ill by experiencing multiple seizures. We received the dreadful call from ZiLL's mom, Anna, that Bob was approaching his final hours. Sadly, we were not be able to attend the assembly to perform after all. However, we found peace as we accepted God's plan and knew that it was ultimately God who led us to this opportunity in the first place. We were where we needed to be, with our family and my father-in-law during his final hours before he was called home. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-yHddPchv3uA/WzTM9zSLKII/AAAAAAAAwK8/UrV4c5uR5Xw4iZMO5kiVsw-VsH5xHXu_gCLcBGAs/s1600/daisies%2Bbuffalo%2Bmusic%2Bkatie%2Bann%2Bmc%2Bzill.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-yHddPchv3uA/WzTM9zSLKII/AAAAAAAAwK8/UrV4c5uR5Xw4iZMO5kiVsw-VsH5xHXu_gCLcBGAs/s320/daisies%2Bbuffalo%2Bmusic%2Bkatie%2Bann%2Bmc%2Bzill.JPG" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" height="320" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Photo courtesy of <a href="https://www.facebook.com/BobbyAngelBuffalo/" target="_blank">Bobby Angel</a>
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">On June 6th, 2018, Bob passed away peacefully with his beloved family by his side. It has been challenging and heartbreaking to lose such a special person. We want to have children and knowing they will never meet their Grandpa Grossi in this life has been hard to accept, but we will always find special ways to remember him and celebrate his legacy. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">The upcoming year will be a difficult transition with getting used to this "new normal," as holidays and other special events will never be the same. In all of this being said, we're finding peace knowing that Bob is resting in a better place and is no longer suffering. We know he'll continue to be with us and always watch over us as we continue our journey. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">ZiLL and I are so thankful for all of the support and unconditional love we graciously received from our family, friends, and community members throughout this difficult period. We have connected with and continue to learn from many other families who have been tragically affected by cancer. The countless number of prayers, positive messages, and well wishes comforts us with a light and love of knowing that we are not alone. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-uf-5DiQl7uE/WzPDZxZ01cI/AAAAAAAAvkM/25HNCZaNVpI9mkClQJ1paP87G8HCk7s0gCEwYBhgL/s1600/Katie%2BAnn%2Band%2BMC%2BZiLL%2Bsoulmates.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-uf-5DiQl7uE/WzPDZxZ01cI/AAAAAAAAvkM/25HNCZaNVpI9mkClQJ1paP87G8HCk7s0gCEwYBhgL/s400/Katie%2BAnn%2Band%2BMC%2BZiLL%2Bsoulmates.jpg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" height="400" width="266" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;"><i><b><span style="font-size: x-large;">After The Calling</span></b></i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">Pastor Debi enjoyed <i>He's Calling Me</i> so much that she has decided she wants to create an entire album with us.

I plan on connecting to the community on a deeper level by writing music through the eyes of a strangers situation. Learning what it's like to be in certain situations that get swept under the rug. It's probably going to feel uncomfortable sometimes but what I'm going to learn from these walks of life will create music that can be used to heal.

Bob is still in hospice. He's hung onto life through the holidays and we shared many special memories together. Bob is one of the strongest people I know, he lives for his family and to eat good food. He is celebrating his 67th Birthday this week and we are blessed to have this extra time with him. We are thankful that he is comfortable and able to be at home with his loving wife, Anna, who has not left his side during this entire journey that began last summer. It's been difficult for our family and we wish this never had happened.

</div>Home is anywhere with you. We don't need a Christmas tree to celebrate the joys of the season. We need each other and through the hustle and bustle of life we have each other right here, right now. We get the privilege to live in the present together. One day we wont and that's a guarantee.<div>

<br><a href="http://www.katieannmusic.com/project-joy" target="_blank">Project joy</a> sugar coated the ugly journey we began last summer when my father in law was diagnosed. We know how this road is going to end. It's not going to be pretty. The journey has completely broken us down and changed everything. Things you would think are concrete suddenly become lucid and plans have to be changed for the greater good. It's abrupt and uneasy but it will eventually be alright. Uncharted waters.</div><div><br></div><div>

<br>The problem we face is bigger than us and our wants and needs can't come first. This year I've been stripped of every Christmas tradition I've known but there's one that remains. I've found normalcy and comfort singing and playing Christmas songs.</div><div><br></div><div>

<br>Hosting a string of benefit Christmas concerts kept us busy, a healthy distraction we needed to take our minds off the facts of our current situation. It's the healthy distractions in life that make music so healing and therapeutic. It brings us together for something greater than ourselves.</div><div><br></div><div>

<br>Having the support from the community meant everything. MC ZiLL and I are so thankful to everyone who came together and showed support. Our sponsors, friends, fans and family attending concerts, donors and people buying our merchandise. We met a lot of people through Project Joy and every single one of them had a story about how cancer impacted their life. We realized there are many people who are praying for us. Project Joy helped us see that we're not alone.</div><div><br></div><div>

<br>I'm able to walk away from these concerts with a lot of fun laughs and memories to help get me through the unknowns this Christmas. I learned how successful my creative efforts are and that it's a powerful tool for positivity in this world.</div><div><br></div><div>

<div class="page" title="Page 1"><div class="layoutArea"><div class="column">
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style='font-family: "cambria";'>As husband and wife, we are blessed to share common musical goals with our aspiring music careers but over the summer, our world came to a halt when we found out a beloved family </span><span style='font-family: "cambria";'>member, ZiLL’s father </span><span style='font-family: "cambria";'>Robert Grossi, has brain cancer. The type of brain tumor he has is called a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glioblastoma" target="_blank">glioblastoma</a>. </span><span style='font-family: "cambria";'>It’s a rare form of cancer that </span><span style='font-family: "cambria";'>unfortunately has no cure so it can only be treated to help improve daily life. This news has been difficult to accept as it feels unbearable at times to know </span><span style='font-family: "cambria";'>that we can’t “fix” this situation </span><span style='font-family: "cambria";'>and are completely at the will of God</span><span style='font-family: "cambria";'>’</span><span style='font-family: "cambria";'>s mercy. We have realized that God has a plan and it has been put in our hearts to use our musical talents to help find a cure for brain cancer. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style='font-family: "cambria"; font-size: 16px;'><br></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style='font-family: "cambria";'>Why did you chose RPCI?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style='font-family: "cambria"; font-size: 16px;'><br></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style='font-family: "cambria"; font-size: xx-small;'>Robert Grossi, ZiLL's father traveled from their hometown in Utica, NY to seek answers at Roswell. He had been sick for months and was progressively and quickly becoming more ill. They stayed with us in Buffalo, NY for 3 weeks and returned home with the diagnosis of glioblastoma and a treatment plan. For our family, our world was turned upside down. We were so thankful to RPCI for the amazing job they did with diagnosing Bob. They provided an atmosphere that made this daunting process at least comfortable. We were all immediately drawn to the beautiful grand piano in the lobby that's being played almost all day by professional musicians who volunteer their time.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style='font-family: "cambria"; font-size: 16px;'><br></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style='font-family: "cambria";'>For this couple music therapy helps with the healing process to cope with such drastic changes in their family. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style='font-family: "cambria";'>Music is a pleasant distraction that opens the door to positive thinking through soulful melodies and upbeat rhythms. It's easy for anyone to get lost in the music bubble. I (Katie Ann) started a music volunteer residency at RPCI this summer after my father-in-law was diagnosed. The beautiful grand piano in the lobby allows sound cascades all the way to the top of the massive cathedral ceiling. The way the building is designed allows for all patients and others to have a "front row seat" to hear the music. </span><span style='font-family: "cambria";'>Every time I play there, music breaths a symphony of life. I can see in the patients' eyes their spirits have been lifted and even if just for that moment their day is better. I feel the greatest sense of gratitude when I perform at the hospital; it's actually one of my favorite places to perform. </span></span></div>

Riverworks is a sprawling cement jungle-like mansion in the mysterious ruins at the heart of Buffalo, next to the old canal. The space alone holds thousands of stories from our ancestors.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">I found myself getting lost in a musical maze. Every corner I turned there was different action going on. To some it may have seemed like total chaos and distracting. But I found there was a peaceful harmony between all the diversity and an ability for the mind to focus on one thing with so much going on all around. Sometimes we need a distraction to distract our minds from the difficult things in life we can't control and tend to over think, like sick loved ones or death. That's the power of music, art and dance. It heals our broken souls so we can revive and be the best versions of ourselves.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-EaTriBepj48/WblIKJcZEkI/AAAAAAAAq0c/Mko8fHBvH84X4dWWZZ8kyFFWmGaiOAmXgCEwYBhgL/s1600/live%2Bartwork%2Bat%2Bmusic%2Bis%2Bart.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-EaTriBepj48/WblIKJcZEkI/AAAAAAAAq0c/Mko8fHBvH84X4dWWZZ8kyFFWmGaiOAmXgCEwYBhgL/s400/live%2Bartwork%2Bat%2Bmusic%2Bis%2Bart.jpg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" height="300" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">It was impossible to see it all, but with the help of hashtags #MiAFest2017 and social media I've been able to piece my amazing festival experience together for you.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">Take a look at this map and imagine just how HUGE the festival is!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yvmQ4WlyiOA/WblILYQroqI/AAAAAAAAq0U/u0SYlUGKIro6KqbSwSjJNUg9Xsebm-NAwCEwYBhgL/s1600/music%2Bis%2Bart%2Bfetsival%2Bmap.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yvmQ4WlyiOA/WblILYQroqI/AAAAAAAAq0U/u0SYlUGKIro6KqbSwSjJNUg9Xsebm-NAwCEwYBhgL/s400/music%2Bis%2Bart%2Bfetsival%2Bmap.jpg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" height="308" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">If you're not familiar with MiA here's the long story short: <a href="https://g.co/kgs/xYsTRS" target="_blank">Robby Takac</a> from the <a href="http://www.googoodolls.com/" target="_blank">goo goo dolls</a> created the <a href="https://www.musicisart.org/" target="_blank">Music is Art</a> foundation in 2003. The foundation does a lot of assisting and inspiring throughout the year for schools and the youth. Plus every year Buffalo is blessed with a free all ages HUGE all day festival. Although this year it turned into an all weekend event with a pre-party on Friday and hangover party on Sunday, so who knows what the future holds for MiA. The festival has over 100 bands on 6 stages, 6 DJ stages, 2 dance stages, live artists, installation artists, photographers, and spoken word. It's a massive conglomeration of artistic expression.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-E2eG0NUquDU/WblIIwyVNqI/AAAAAAAAq0U/q8b2Di9jN4UZBPIN32HwcxS3DGKU98HbwCEwYBhgL/s1600/Robby%2BTakac.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-E2eG0NUquDU/WblIIwyVNqI/AAAAAAAAq0U/q8b2Di9jN4UZBPIN32HwcxS3DGKU98HbwCEwYBhgL/s320/Robby%2BTakac.jpg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" height="213" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Robby Takac </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">Some things that stood out to me was the ginormous main stage area surrounded by the second floor indoor balcony wrapping the entire building where gymnast had silk ropes to do aerial dancing and a giant main screen video showing snippets all day of festival action.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-nkI3WAiJ39I/WblIK-wX5jI/AAAAAAAAq0U/80J8-hVn7RICib-4oNoVwKJKB-Fxe-TiQCEwYBhgL/s1600/music%2Bis%2Bart%2Bfestival.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-nkI3WAiJ39I/WblIK-wX5jI/AAAAAAAAq0U/80J8-hVn7RICib-4oNoVwKJKB-Fxe-TiQCEwYBhgL/s640/music%2Bis%2Bart%2Bfestival.jpg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" height="244" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">If you needed a reprieve the second floor was the place to go where artists were painting live right next to a silent disco.

<i>Driven</i> is Katie's sophomore pop album, the follow up to her freshman album, <i>The Ride</i>. Featuring 12 melodic storytelling songs all written and produced by Katie. Professionally recorded by top-notch recording engineer Justin Rose at <a href="http://www.gcraudio.com/" target="_blank">GCR Audio</a>, the immaculate recording studio owned by the bassist from the <a href="http://www.googoodolls.com/" target="_blank">goo goo dolls</a>, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/robbytakacggd/" target="_blank">Robby Takac</a>. The album features live instrumentation across the board and like the sister album, toys with different genres. Guest featuring wicked emcees and musicians; <a href="http://www.mczill.com/" target="_blank">MC ZiLL</a>, <a href="http://www.preachfreedomandconnect.com/" target="_blank">Preach Freedom</a> (plays with the band <a href="https://www.rustedroot.com/" target="_blank">Rusted Root</a>), <a href="https://www.gracelougen.com/" target="_blank">Grace Lougen</a>, <a href="http://www.justinwernermusic.com/" target="_blank">Justin Werner</a> and, <a href="https://www.buffalorising.com/2016/07/backstage-with-elias-declan-miers/" target="_blank">Declan Miers</a> to name a few. </div><div style="text-align: center;"> An album about finding motivation through love. Some neat things to expect in this album is a pop love song with an Italian verse rapped by MC ZiLL, actually inspired by the couples honeymoon in Italy. A classical quartet that transitions into a raw jam band rock groove. People will be shocked when they hear how far Katie has come as a vocalist, musician and producer since her first album. Her debut performance with her band at her record release party on June 30th will demonstrate this, you don't want to miss out. Katie Ann notated the songs thus music scores will be available to download, a neat perk for other musicians who want to play her songs, especially pianist. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ObZo8oakjZU/WUKkgNB1EBI/AAAAAAAAncg/aIXZFoZHM6cVg_MKxjL_dNxLQ1B66bElgCLcBGAs/s1600/driven%2Balbum%2Bcover.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ObZo8oakjZU/WUKkgNB1EBI/AAAAAAAAncg/aIXZFoZHM6cVg_MKxjL_dNxLQ1B66bElgCLcBGAs/s400/driven%2Balbum%2Bcover.png" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" height="368" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Preview album <a href="https://katieannmusic.com/album/539268/driven?autostart=true" target="_blank">here</a>

Classical Genre? Yes, Katie Ann toyed with elements completely different from anything she's released in the past. This is what happens when a pianist of 25 years and a music artist becomes engaged to a hip-hop emcee. Katie was inspired to create this album for her own wedding ceremony as a symbol of love. Typically planning a wedding is a project big enough for most Brides, it's certainly not normal that Katie took it upon her self to write an entire album outside of her box during this bustling time in her life. The musical motives inspired by the emotionally engrossed process of being engaged and preparing to marry her soulmate created truly magnificent music. The album is incredibly beautiful, relaxing and soulful. Designed to spark memories but you don't have to be engaged or married to enjoy this album, it's mellowness and honesty is what makes it appealing. Notated musical scores are also available for this album. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-drksY_iWaQI/WUKlEfEcj2I/AAAAAAAAnck/6tCfli_2z6Ihk1Ibpe2HLv4LxeVOysWMQCLcBGAs/s1600/Wedding%2BMusic%2BAlbum%2BCover%2Bby%2BKatie%2BAnn.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-drksY_iWaQI/WUKlEfEcj2I/AAAAAAAAnck/6tCfli_2z6Ihk1Ibpe2HLv4LxeVOysWMQCLcBGAs/s400/Wedding%2BMusic%2BAlbum%2BCover%2Bby%2BKatie%2BAnn.jpg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" height="400" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Preview album <a href="https://www.katieannmusic.com/wedding-music" target="_blank">here</a>

This album features ten cover songs, mostly ballads from multi eras dating back to the 1980's. So far the crowd favorite is "I want to know what love is" by Mick Jones.

<div style="background-color: white; color: #454545; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #454545; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Jeff Grossi, aka hip-hop lyricist MC ZiLL, is taking his education activism to another level with his new pro-public education anthem, "Still Teaching." In the video, the "education crime fighter" expresses his frustrations with excessive standardized testing, Common Core initiatives and NYS Gov. Cuomo among other educational problems. With Receivership being forced in schools across our country, ZiLL is fed up with the dismantling of education and feels parents, teachers, and community members have solutions but state and federal officials refuse to listen. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">Cornel West Speech Part I:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">"So I want to begin on a Socratic note. Plato says in 38A of the classic Apology 'The unexamined life is not worth living. The unexamined life is not a life worthy of human beings.' And by human beings he means we feathered-less, two legged linguistically conscious creatures born between urine and feces. Us. Malcolm X adds 'The examined life is painful.' We need courage. Courage to think critically. Even in the midst of all of the insecurity. Vulnerability. Vincibility. Uncertainty. And we can be told by some of our brothers and sisters of various colors who are fellow citizens that by waving the flag we cannot think critically. I say no, no not at all. We must think critically. But it takes courage to think. And you have to say that in America because it's such a profoundly anti-intellectual civilization. </div>

One of the many ways they help is by donating musical instruments to schools with kids in high needs. It allows children to learn music who otherwise wouldn't have the opportunity. Katie Ann's piano students have created a class CD honoring the MIA board member, Ryan Cusillo, who recently unexpectedly passed away earlier this year. The students will release their "I Love MIA" CD at the piano recital. Her class is hoping to raise money for the MIA organization. The children's recital is open to the public and patrons make a cash donation to the cause and/or purchase the class smoothie from Ashkers. A donation jar will be at Ashkers for a week so even if you can't make the recital you can still stop on by the cafe to make a donation. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">

There, they created the song which ultimately led to their music video to further express their feelings.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7-8USs7KmLE/VM0HL7kgniI/AAAAAAAAQIo/jr6oO2o0zKc/s1600/PremierePartyKZ%3AMCZILL%26KATIEANN%3ASavoy.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="//1.bp.blogspot.com/-7-8USs7KmLE/VM0HL7kgniI/AAAAAAAAQIo/jr6oO2o0zKc/s1600/PremierePartyKZ%3AMCZILL%26KATIEANN%3ASavoy.JPG" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" height="400" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-LraKK-ldO-E/VM0HNESH3jI/AAAAAAAAQI0/GAE58aAo0RM/s1600/PremierePartyKZ%3ASavoy.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="//4.bp.blogspot.com/-LraKK-ldO-E/VM0HNESH3jI/AAAAAAAAQI0/GAE58aAo0RM/s1600/PremierePartyKZ%3ASavoy.JPG" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" height="320" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">

Several private charter schools have expressed an interest in taking over his school and have stated that they would not want any current Bennett students to remain at the school. Bennett High School has a long history as being a successful high school and it wasn't until Common Core was implemented that it is now considered a "failing school." MC ZiLL and many others in his community are livid. How many other schools across the nation are facing the same problem? </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-9LxtJdfN8GQ/VM0HIo2_PxI/AAAAAAAAQHQ/BWjN2bUWkic/s1600/KEEPBENNETTPUBLIC.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="//3.bp.blogspot.com/-9LxtJdfN8GQ/VM0HIo2_PxI/AAAAAAAAQHQ/BWjN2bUWkic/s1600/KEEPBENNETTPUBLIC.JPG" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" height="640" width="414" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The release of the music video <i>We're Teaching</i> had such a powerful effect on the community and was a contributing factor that forced the Buffalo Board of Education to delay the voting to close Bennett High School and the rest of the schools on the chopping block because so many community members are in favor of keeping the schools for public education. The Board is slated to vote at the next Board of Education meeting, which is scheduled for Friday, February 13th, 2015 at 5:30pm at Performing Arts High School in Buffalo, NY. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #990000;"><br></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; text-align: start;">"My mission with releasing my music video is pretty simple and straightforward. I want to inform all educators, teachers, parents, students, and other taxpayers from our communities about the harsh impacts that high-stakes standardized testing is having in our public school system. It is my goal to personally meet with local, state, and eventually federal politicians and policy makers to inform them of my message in order to revise current educational policies.</span></span><br><span style="color: #990000; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; text-align: start;"><br></span></span>

<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; text-align: start;">Because of low tests scores on high-stakes standardized tests, public schools across our communities, state, and country are being labeled as "low performing," causing a disturbing trend of the shutting down of these schools. I believe this is a gross misrepresentation of what's really going on.</span></span><br><span style="color: #990000; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; text-align: start;"><br></span></span>

<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; text-align: start;">All students are being tested the same (given the same tests and are expected to achieve at the same results) regardless of their abilities. What results is that students with learning and emotional disabilities, ELL (English Language Learners), and students who are simply behind in basic skills such as reading, writing, and arithmetic are being subjected and held to the same learning outcomes as our regularly abled students. This high level of accountability has been negatively impacting our public schools since the implementation of the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act in 2002.</span></span><br><span style="color: #990000; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; text-align: start;"><br></span></span>

Hardships are real for all of us in different ways, but we can choose to accept things and be content or to change things and move on in hopes of something better. It's easier said then done but it starts inside our minds and hearts. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">With that said I am choosing to carry forward with a strong heart ready for the next challenge. I know success is not easy but this year my new years resolution is to <b><i>break barriers.</i></b>

And after this tour has been done and said I want to hire a booking agent, manager etc. I'm taking inquiries if you want to become involved in our music grind! (email katieanntheride@gmail.com).</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">My music is uplifting with powerful lyrics driven by strong melodies. It's anything but simple yet somehow it provides a chill relaxed mood for listeners. Deep thinking music is food for the soul. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I've been told that I sound like Jewel, Alicia Keys, Adele, Sarah Mclachlan, Tori Amos and Britney Spears. I have a unique style influenced by hip hop, rock and pop. But to throw a twist on it, I 've been classically trained as a child on piano and took studio engineering and song writing classes in college at San Diego State. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">You can find my album at: <a href="http://www.katieannlkproductions.com/">www.katieannlkproductions.com </a>

He makes positive hip hop that influences people to stay off the streets and live healthy lifestyles. His rhyme schemes are playful and mind boggling. He touches upon politics and justice in his music. He creates riddles, analogies and acronyms. His music is deep and he doesn't hesitate to put it all out there. He's upbeat and pulls the crowd in to participate with his positive vibes. Even if hip hop is not your typical style, his words will leave you stunned with ears wide open.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">ZiLL's album "Brainwashing" is completely written and produced. He's in the final stages of recording. Without forcing the album he anticipates it to be done by the end of this year. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-KTX5NW7OCFI/U9RIAmIlnFI/AAAAAAAAG0Y/5uyNB4LBrfs/s640/blogger-image-2021012106.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-KTX5NW7OCFI/U9RIAmIlnFI/AAAAAAAAG0Y/5uyNB4LBrfs/s640/blogger-image-2021012106.jpg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" height="640" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I met MC ZiLL 4 years ago. He was one of the first friends I made in Buffalo after I made a big move from my hometown in San Diego. Being a Cali girl I was not good at driving in the snow. I had to adapt quickly. During my time "adapting" I hit ZiLL's car when it was parked. I left a note and secretly hoped he would never call because I didn't have any money to fix a dent. But, thankfully, he did call...a month later. His voice sounded cute on the phone and he told me the dent was not big and to not worry about it. We got to talking and discovered we both write music and teach. We decided to meet up to "network." </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Shortly after we recorded a song together called "Strong am I." This song was prophetic for where our friendship would go. Through some ups and downs along with love and hate, we carried on a platonic friendship. I helped him produce his album and we wrote more music together. It wasn't until two years later that a light switch turned on. Not sure when it happened, but we quickly fell in love. Long story short, last Spring he put a ring on it! I think we're the perfect example of fate. Let it go and let your third eye do the work. Love will always find a way and all you have to do is enjoy the ride. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-bMvFnLgEvJ8/U9RRiL2eVsI/AAAAAAAAG00/SaBNtONLQDw/s640/blogger-image-1568993418.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-bMvFnLgEvJ8/U9RRiL2eVsI/AAAAAAAAG00/SaBNtONLQDw/s640/blogger-image-1568993418.jpg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" height="640" width="418" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Our tour, <i>Brainwashing the Ride</i>, is named after our individual solo albums. The tour is a month long. We traveled from New York to California, Nevada, Oregon and Montana playing 15 shows along the way. Considering that this is our first major tour for us both it's pretty ambitious. We both do better under pressure so we needed to just put ourselves out there. The tour forced us to build as artists each and every show. Some parts of the tour were easy and fun but others were difficult and straining. This adventure is certainly a test, both individually and as a couple. If we didn't love each other we would be driven crazy by this point. Instead we're building, over coming and meeting some really cool people along the journey. We love touring and want more of it. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-3nDbu74Vq4o/U9RSEFi-FPI/AAAAAAAAG08/Tl6e6i-gm-U/s640/blogger-image-1804451118.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-3nDbu74Vq4o/U9RSEFi-FPI/AAAAAAAAG08/Tl6e6i-gm-U/s640/blogger-image-1804451118.jpg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Promo gear </div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">To see the fine details of Brainwashing the Ride visit this blog: <a href="http://theridekatieann.blogspot.com/2014/06/tour-schedule.html">http://theridekatieann.blogspot.com/2014/06/tour-schedule.html</a>

Destructo Bunny smashed the freestyle. A cool chick named Adelaide (<a href="https://www.facebook.com/adelaide.marcus?fref=ts">https://www.facebook.com/adelaide.marcus?fref=ts</a>) was painting during the show and then shocked us all by killing the freestyle at the end of the night. She has beautiful artwork available online to purchase. It was refreshing to hear a really good female lyricist who spoke about positive topics. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We loved performing at this show because of the people there.

We played in the late morning on a patio under an Ipe tree in Encinitas, CA. Hence the name Cafe Ipe. The People here were mixed ages, interested in relaxing and hanging out and not so much partying like the first show. We had to draw the crowd in from their own worlds and pull them into ours.

We got about 4 hours of sleep and hit the road by 6:00am. We had to be at our next show by noon, the driving made it a tight squeeze. Because of the lack of sleep and pressure to make it on time this show was by far the most intense. I pulled myself together, painted a smile on my face, put on some dots and rocked it.

The best part without a doubt was the tour. I can't believe I made it through a month on the road and 15 shows. It was a major test of endurance. This tour defined me and took me out of my element. I've always had a hard time stepping out of the studio and onto a stage. I guess that's the producer in me. But once I'm up there on stage and making connections with everyone's vibes, it's the greatest thing on Earth. It's making love through sound waves.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vau9YDrSKoI/VBBG98pWdrI/AAAAAAAAJLw/qcQlKFNqjQI/s1600/photo%2B(87).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="//1.bp.blogspot.com/-vau9YDrSKoI/VBBG98pWdrI/AAAAAAAAJLw/qcQlKFNqjQI/s1600/photo%2B(87).JPG" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" height="400" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I love touring. The cherry on top of it all is that I get to tour with my best friend, MC ZiLL. He's a dope rapper and he's my fiance. I was a little nervous going on tour together, I knew it would test our relationship. So I entered with caution, trying to tone down my mood swings. In fact, a local paper in San Luis Obispo wrote an article about our tour and our relationship being tested. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-I6E3FUIRnpE/VBBEnS6TjUI/AAAAAAAAJLc/t0BnlQ_Hi_k/s1600/10582754_10152152721607541_5871628775479836597_o-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="//1.bp.blogspot.com/-I6E3FUIRnpE/VBBEnS6TjUI/AAAAAAAAJLc/t0BnlQ_Hi_k/s1600/10582754_10152152721607541_5871628775479836597_o-1.jpg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" height="320" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Article in <i>New Times</i> by Glen Starkey</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Strictly Starkey</span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Could this be the feel good story of the year? A musical duo is traveling from New York to San Diego this July to perform their tour <i>Brainwashing The Ride</i>. Featuring Katie Ann and MC ZiLL, an engaged couple set to marry in 2016, are living their dream and promoting their albums this summer on their nationwide tour. I guess they're also testing their compatibility. Katie Ann has a new album called <i>The Ride</i> and MC Zill has an album called <i>Brainwashing</i>, hence the name of the tour. You can see them on Tuesday, July 29th, at Linnaea's Cafe (7pm.; all ages; free.) As sort of an endearing preamble, Katie Ann, originally from San Diego, went to New york to pursue her music career, and she met MC Zill when she hit his car. So. Damn. Cute.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>Here's my response to Glen Starkey:</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Dear Glen, </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Thank you for writing an article about our tour in <i>New Times</i>. It was one of the most refreshing gifts on our tour. We arrived in San Luis Obispo late in the evening after a long and tiring drive from San Diego. It's not that the drive is super long, it's the vehicle we were driving in that made it feel like we were never going to make it! When we finally got there we went to one of the only places open that late, a Pizza joint. Standing in line I picked up a <i>New Times.</i> To my surprise the first page I opened to was the article you wrote about us. I was so thrilled we had to celebrate with a pitcher! We felt a warm welcoming to SLO. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">When I first read the part you wrote about our relationship being challenged I rolled my eyes. "Please this is a piece of cake." But by the end of it all, several cities and shows later, I must admit our compatibility was tested. It's the type of test only true lovers can pass because if you're not really meant for each other that will be revealed by the end of any challenge. Touring is not easy and there are parts of it that are very uncomfortable. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The beginning of our tour was in my childhood hometown, San Diego. Tons of friends and family came out to support and made it easier for us to perform in front of people we knew. However, SLO put us in check real quick. We didn't know anyone in this city. We were playing for crowds of complete strangers and I don't think SLO was use to our style of music. MC ZiLL and I had to lean on each other more than ever. We had to help keep each others spirits up when people were rude and didn't want to give us the time of day. We ran into a few of those people in SLO. One particular person said to us after MC ZiLL told him he makes positive Hip-Hop; "O yea, I don't use the "N" word. I just call them poor black trash." Perhaps he didn't realize we weren't talking about a person but a style of music that projects positive and uplifting lyrics. It's called "Positive Hip Hop." </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">On the flip side we also met some super chill people I was sad to say goodbye to. The people running Linnaeas Cafe are some of the most kind hearted people and not to mention really good food! We enjoyed performing there because of it's uniqueness. But it was with out a doubt our most different show on the tour and that's because of the audience. I had no idea we were going to play for an audience of painters and writers. The entire floor was filled with artists. Each person was in the zone and painting while we were playing. We are use to a little more dancing but I suppose you can call it dancing with the tip of a paintbrush. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">In the end MC ZiLL and I are still together. We made it through our first tour and fell deeper in love. The challenges brought us closer. We are back home in New York and we have started planning our wedding. But, we also plan on doing a few more tours and cutting another album before we get married! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Sincerely, Katie Ann and MC ZiLL of "Brainwashing The Ride"</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-I4J_h-_Hw-I/VBBK2bipr-I/AAAAAAAAJMY/5alK2RhZiTw/s1600/photo%2B(88).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="//3.bp.blogspot.com/-I4J_h-_Hw-I/VBBK2bipr-I/AAAAAAAAJMY/5alK2RhZiTw/s1600/photo%2B(88).JPG" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" height="640" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">--------------------------------------------------</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ending the Summer with a bang!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> Katie Ann and MC ZiLL perform at Buffalo's most outrageous Music Festival, <b>Music is Art</b>!!! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=5011564316733053833" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="//theridekatieann.blogspot.com/" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-SNyF9N15ngA/VBA_kWcSB0I/AAAAAAAAJLI/Ciwl0ppFoLM/s1600/MIA.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="//3.bp.blogspot.com/-SNyF9N15ngA/VBA_kWcSB0I/AAAAAAAAJLI/Ciwl0ppFoLM/s1600/MIA.png" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" height="400" width="263" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><br></i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i>Come see Katie Ann perform Saturday September 13th @11:00am Stage 3</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-SA_1cVhM2o0/VBA-sLuA8FI/AAAAAAAAJK8/29QyJLrin9Y/s1600/KatieAnnMIA.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="//3.bp.blogspot.com/-SA_1cVhM2o0/VBA-sLuA8FI/AAAAAAAAJK8/29QyJLrin9Y/s1600/KatieAnnMIA.jpg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" height="640" width="424" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UAHu9UOfReg/VCqoF4VZBPI/AAAAAAAAJ_I/CJQnmqXHXdQ/s1600/miafest2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="//1.bp.blogspot.com/-UAHu9UOfReg/VCqoF4VZBPI/AAAAAAAAJ_I/CJQnmqXHXdQ/s1600/miafest2.jpg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" height="400" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-psNnjIXnnN8/VCqoHG43vMI/AAAAAAAAJ_Q/N4z1Vb0XFQs/s1600/miafest.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="//3.bp.blogspot.com/-psNnjIXnnN8/VCqoHG43vMI/AAAAAAAAJ_Q/N4z1Vb0XFQs/s1600/miafest.jpg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" height="400" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Check out a mashup video of Katie Ann and MC ZiLL's performance at the festival:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">http://youtu.be/dpzckCxNKpk?list=UUIY3g-3gzz-h59xH2Y7scRQ</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;"><object class="BLOGGER-youtube-video" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/dpzckCxNKpk/0.jpg" height="266" width="320"><param name="movie" value="https://www.youtube.com/v/dpzckCxNKpk?version=3&f=user_uploads&c=google-webdrive-0&app=youtube_gdata">

BRAND NEW ALBUM!</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">That's right! I have negotiated a production and recording deal with a team from GCR Audio in New York. Starting in February we will begin production. The album is scheduled for completion in November 2014. I anticipate this album to be similar to <i>The Ride</i> but magnified with a sharper and more soulful delivery. The difference with this album and my last is that I will be able to focus on being an artist more because I wont be doing everything. I will executively produce but I will have a production team that is buried deep within each song. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>2.

<i>The Ride</i> is a 17 song hitter. Each song is unique and sounds different from the rest. One could say the album is 17 singles because each song is a hit and can stand on its own. However, <i>The Ride</i>, is a full length album that tells a story from start to finish. It takes the listener on a journey and leaves space in the music to make it their own.<br><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><object width="320" height="266" class="BLOG_video_class" id="BLOG_video-f5cce44e6465cbd4" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="movie" value="//www.youtube.com/get_player">

I'm a recording artist. "Artist" being the key word. I like to create music like an abstract painting. I musically paint my life but leave it up to the audience to interpret how they wish. Imagination. </div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 1.4; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-align: center;"><br></div>

The album is about growth and being on this journey that we call "life." We have growing spurts and growing pains through out it. This is why I chose to have this painting (top artwork) as my album cover. The roots symbolize music notes that grow into a harvest that yields peace, love and music to your ears... what I like to call ear candy. </div>

My story starts in a dark place but ends peacefully. It's interesting to hear the development of a young person facing life challenges and persevering to find happiness. Many people can relate to moments in their life where they put every bit of strength they had to get out of what feels like an eternity at rock bottom. </div>

The founder is recording artist Katie Ann. LK Productions originated in San Diego, California around 2003. LK Productions is now located in Buffalo, New York. Katie Ann took "The Ride" across country on a daring, bold and crazy 3,000 mile road trip that turned into a permanent move. "To be a good writer you have to spice things up. When you become too comfortable you stop growing. After awhile I felt numb on the West Coast. Like my music wasn't evolving and didn't represent the woman I grew up to be."</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">So who was she before? "Before Katie Ann, I went by Lady K. I was pretty ruthless with my writing. I wrote a lot of beats and rapped, rapped rapped. I loved to rap! Rhyming and making clever schemes. It was my thing. I would do it all day."</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Hn_-PNrn51c/UmcocENgxlI/AAAAAAAAAds/9oMtjxdkrnU/s1600/full.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="//1.bp.blogspot.com/-Hn_-PNrn51c/UmcocENgxlI/AAAAAAAAAds/9oMtjxdkrnU/s320/full.jpg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" height="313" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">Lady K first was introduced to the art of making hip-hop music when she was 19. She ran into a rapper from Los Angeles at a party near her college, where she studied music. He was intrigued by her because she played piano. He asked her to come to Los Angeles over the summer for an internship. Katie Ann made several trips that summer from San Diego to Los Angeles and worked with producers. By the end of the summer internship the producers were asking her sing and encouraging her to write. "We think you have lyrics in you. You just gotta pull them out. Just sit down in the quiet, listen and let them come to you."</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">Lady K went home and dived into writing. "It came so natural. I knew right away that I needed to get my hands on some recording gear and start writing music. I don't know what came first- making beats or writing rhymes." Lady K bought a home set up that began as an equinox synthesizer she used to make instrumental beats, an M-BOX, Pro tools and an average condenser microphone. But that's all she needed to get started.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mEvTzekgroY/UmctS0dl5oI/AAAAAAAAAeI/JPovf0qza-4/s1600/P4070395.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="//1.bp.blogspot.com/-mEvTzekgroY/UmctS0dl5oI/AAAAAAAAAeI/JPovf0qza-4/s400/P4070395.jpg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" height="300" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">"My drive just kept going and going. I wanted to learn more about writing and making music. I wanted to get more sounds and gear. Of course I was limited because I was a college student.... not like I had millions to just go get whatever gear I wanted. If I wanted something I worked my butt off. Saw the prize and went after it. It's the master art of making time to be what you want to be."</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">Katie Ann spent her early twenties in a music bubble. By the age of 25 she had endless beats and in the hundreds of recorded songs. "I had a recording studio in my bedroom. Right next to my bed was a microphone. Sometimes I would wake up in the middle of the night with ideas from a dream or something and I would hit the record button."</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-AbJ_bXP_OlA/UmcpCCP6Q3I/AAAAAAAAAd0/xAlMvEzKQKg/s1600/full-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="//4.bp.blogspot.com/-AbJ_bXP_OlA/UmcpCCP6Q3I/AAAAAAAAAd0/xAlMvEzKQKg/s320/full-1.jpg" class="size_orig justify_inline border_" height="239" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">"As I got older my style changed. I naturally just started singing more than rapping. My song writing expanded and I started writing more ballads and music for bands. I began exploring recording live instruments. It's no coincidence to me that my journey across country took me to a Recording studio that is a heaven for rock bands. I mean, GCR audio was created by the bass players in one of the best bands ever- the <i>goo goo dolls</i>." <a href="http://www.googoodolls.com/">http://www.googoodolls.com/</a>

"I decided to keep Lady K attached to the music because even though I may not be that ruthless little girl anymore she is still a part of me and the music." LK productions is named after the infamous Lady K.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br></div><div style="text-align: center;">Katie Ann is looking forward to working with more recording artists.
