Caitlyn Hessell's love affair with music began at an early age with her introduction to The Beatles, whose albums quickly helped her realize the power of music. Wanting to create her own sounds, she took up the piano at age 7, and realizing her passion for music, she shortly thereafter began classical training on the cello.
At age 12 she attended a Jonny Lang concert where she discovered the rebellious nature of the blues, and tired of being limited by classical scales, she took up the electric guitar. The rest of her childhood was spent developing her song-writing craft, and by college she had settled into her place as an acoustic singer-songwriter.
After graduating from Boston University in May 2007, Caitlyn embarked on a string of successful collaborations with more down tempo and trip-hop artists. Caitlyn now lives in Boston and spends all of her spare time working on new songs and pursuing a career in music, and has most recently been described as "the lovechild of Jeff Buckley and Norah Jones", as well as being compared to the likes of Missy Higgins, Sia, and other great female singer/song writers.
2008 is promising to be a successful year for Caitlyn with her first EP, Always There, scheduled for release in February 2008 on Summer Rain Recordings, with a string of new tracks and collaborations set to follow.
Devoted to the idea of giving something back to the world via her music, Caitlyn will be donating a portion of her royalties from her Always there EP to NextAid.org, a non-profit organization that provide help and support to children in Africa who have been orphaned by Aids.
Love and Respect's to you From over here in VancIty...:} could you let me know what you think of the new demo on my page .. The first song on the list (If I come down)tnx
Sorry for the delay in the message. Hope you don’t mind…
When we truly let go of past hurts, hang-ups and disappointments and choose to live in the moment, in the now, in the PRESENT, life truly can be a GIFT.
Hope you liked this one. :)
Also, if you like these, shoot me comments letting me know, join me on my Facebook page and when I send you a link to my website once it gets finished next week, be sure to go it and sign up and I’ll send these to you there as well. Take care
Hello, my friend. Another Tankism to brighten your week. Hope it helps :)
Look at life from the perspective of what you have NOW, what you are grateful for NOW. If you continue to look into the PAST as to what you have lost, when you open your PRESENT, you will not like what you get. However, by focusing firmly on where you are directing your FUTURE by thinking on those things which are good and pure and what you do want to happen, as you unfold your PRESENT, you will find the gift that you know you really want. And, it really is that simple. As a wise person once said: If you believe you can't, you're rightif yet if you believe you CAN, you're right. What do you believe? :)
