Jesus Christ is definately the biggest influence in my life.............after that, I think back to early Cash, Merle Haggard, Conway Twitty, George Jones, and listen' to Patsy Cline, Loretta, Dolly, and all the greats that have come and gone over the years. I've written lyrics and music all of my life, and every time I write a song, I have in my mind the tune being sung by some past or present country star! So I guess they all influence in one way or another!
IN MEMORY OF MY GOOD FRIEND AND SONG WRITING COMPANION TERRY McMILLAN, WHO NOW PLAYS WITH THE "ANGEL BAND"........"Warm it up son, I'll be there shortly!"
ANOTHER OF MY FAVORITE ARTISTS IS A YOUNG LADY OUT OF OSLO, NORWAY, WHO STARTED HER CAREER AS A MODEL/ACTRESS AND IS WORKING HER WAY ACROSS THE INTERNATIONAL MUSIC SCENE AS A SUPER STAR! ONLY ONE WORD TO DESCRIBE HER........
"AYLAR"........MAMACITA!

I've heard some mixed reports on this one....One friend said I sounded like Rod Stewart, another one said Kenny Rogers. On a good day maybe a touch of John Denver thrown in with a little Waylon.....does that mean I'm a legend, or dead? I definately have my own sound..................give me a holler and let me know what "You" think!
Born in Florida, raised within WSM "Opry on a Saturday night" distance out of Nashville, Tennessee, this singer/songwriter is all country! Cutting his teeth on the pews of the local church, and listening to Southern Gospel and "old timey" country in his formulative years, Bruce grounded his soul in the sounds of the south to the likes of Dottie Rambo, The Gaither's, Jimmy Swaggert, and a host of Grand Ole Opry stars like George Jones, Conway Twitty, Merle Haggard, Lefty Frizzel, and Earnest Tubb, which still remain his heroes to this day!........................
Bruce started his musical career early, in school band on the trumpet, and writing his first song at the age of 10. He then started playing guitar by age 11. Fully supported by his father, he started playing with local country garage bands, with his first "on-stage" debut at age 12, which quickly escalated into performances at the local area fairs, civic organizational meetings, and regional talent competitions. Winning many talent competitions at such an early age gave him the confidence, needed drive, and desire to pursue his musical career at an up-scale pace, and Bruce formed his first country band, "Black Label", and began to hone his playing, singing, stage performance, and writing skills......................
Next came acting, drama class, and school lead musical parts in all the plays he auditioned for, which gave him a firm grounded foundation in the dynamic and high energy stage shows still performes to this day! To quote the local Pentecostal preacher who greatly influenced his life......"Son, shout it out, and shake it up." "If you can't keep 'em awake, they ain't gonna put any money on the plate"!!!!........................
Over the years, Bruce has recorded in studios from Nashville to Boulder, Atlanta to Panama City, and has travelled professionally on the road with country and Rock bands alike, had multiple singles aired on the radio, opened for such noteable acts as Billy Joe Royal, The Orbisons, Razzy Bailey, a host of blue grass and country acts, and written songs with some of the best names in the business. He's been a WSM radio show host, a favorite at local writers nights in Nashville, and his music still turns heads and wins hearts of young and old alike........................
Driven by his love of all things musical, Bruce continues to entertain and play at every opportunity availeable, and looks forward to his next performance at the Grand Ole Opry House.......................
Rapunsel -- By: Bruce Posey She's Gonna Change This Time -- By: Bruce Posey
"Is it towards sorrow or towards joy you lift
The sharpness of your trembling spears?
Or do you seek, through the grey tears
That blur the sky, in the heart of the triumphing blue,
A deeper, calmer rift?"
So; I have tuned my music to the trees,
And there were voices, dim below
Their shrillness, voices swelling slow
In the blue murmur of hills, and a golden cry
And then vast silences.
Have a great new week sweetie!
Love always
~Izabella~

I know that many artists from North America don't have their music videos uploaded to German video websites. The most popular websites are MyVideo.de and ClipFish.de. That means your European audience does not have the chance to find them.
I understand that most of you don't speak German and are not able to upload videos because of the language barrier. If you would like me to upload your videos to the German video websites, please let me know.
