About me: < WELL, FROM BEING THE YOUNGEST MEMBER IN MY BALLET CLASS AT NEW YORK'S FAMOUS ALVIENNE SCHOOL OF DANCE (POPULARIZED BY FRED ASTAIRE AND HIS SISTER AND ALSO ACTRESS LISBETH SCOTT MANY, MANY YEARS AGO), I'VE COME TO APPRECIATE MUSIC THROUGH DANCE AND THE HUMAN VOICE. ACTUALLY, I THINK THE OLD BUILDING THAT SCHOOL WAS IN MIGHT HAVE BEEN NEW YORK'S 23RD ST. OPERA HOUSE. I'LL HAVE TO DO SOME RESEARCH ON THAT ONE..... .. Click here to check out The Los Angeles Jazz and Cabaret Singers Meetup Group! I ABSOLUTELY GO NUTS FOR WORLD MUSIC AND AM AN AVID COLLECTORS OF MUSIC OF ARGENTINA AND OFTEN FORGOTEN BRAZIL... FOR THE TANGO. MY FAVORITES BY ASTOR PIAZZOLA PRE 1970s. RECENTLY TURNED ON TO A FEW AFRO-URAGUAYAN MUSICAL ARTIST THAT ABSOLUTELY BLEW ME AWAY. br> Los Angeles Jazz singer based in Hollywood, CA - transplant from New York City. Love expressing myself through music and surprisingly House music a new genre is becoming very special in the arena. Looking forward to traveling across the pond this year, a myriad of new studio projects with my musical partner Balage Antal. Special thanks to fans supporting our music. "Got You on My Mind" "Thank You" "The Love We Left Behind" Balage feat. Dolores Petersen HERE'S MY TAKE ON THINGS: I WANT TO KEEP BELIEVING THAT WE NEED MORE TOLERANCE AND DIVERSITY IN THIS WORLD. BY NOW EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW THAT WE ARE MORE ALIKE THAN DIFFERENT. EDUCATION IS FOREVER. IGNORANCE CAN END RIGHT NOW ALL FOR A BETTER WORLD. MUSIC IS UNDOUBTEDLY A UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE.... AND I'M READY TO BET ON IT. I'M A FIRST GENERATION AMERICAN OF CARIBBEAN ANCESTRY (ST. CROIX [Danish W.I. now U.S. soil], ST. EUSTACIA, ST. KITTS, BARBADOS, TORTOLA, ANGUILA.... and more). MY BEING OF A RICH AFRICAN HERITAGE IS THE PROUDEST THING I CAN SAY ABOUT MYSELF. I HAD A TOTAL FRIENDSHIP WITH MY MOTHER, WHO JUST CROSSED OVER... WHO TAUGHT ME TO EMBRACE LIFE. MY DAD DIED, WELL ACTUALLY, YOU KNOW HOW THE SAYING GOES, "OLD SOLDIERS NEVER DIE, THEY SIMPLY FADE AWAY." BOTH MY PARENTS HAD THINGS THEY STILL WANTED TO DO. I'M A NEW YORK CITY TRANSPLANT, NOW LIVING IN HOLLYWOOD, CALIFORNIA..... I'D PREFER BOTH WORLDS - BEING BI-COASTAL WOULD SUIT ME JUST FINE. SINGING?.... IT'S AS FREEING AS THE FIRST TIME YOU SAT BEHIND THE WHEEL OF A CAR AND TOOK OFF. I LIKE TO ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO FIND GOD AND PRAY FOR PEACE. I SPEAK OF BEING VERY TOLERANT; HOWEVER, I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO PATIENCE WITH FEARFUL PEOPLE. I HAVE FEW REGRETS.... WELL ONE IS, WHEN ACCEPTING AN INVITATION TO VISIT JOHNNY OTIS AT ELDORADO STUDIOS (NEAR THE CORNER OF HOLLYWOOD AND VINE, JOHNNY (ONE OF THE VERY NICEST PEOPLE I'VE EVER MET WHEN I WAS NEW TO THIS CITY), ASKED ME IF I SANG. TOO SHY (WELL FOR A MOMENT, AT THAT TIME) I ANSWERED "NO" WHEN ACTUALLY, THAT'S WHAT I REALLY WANTED TO DO. I COULD TELL THAT HE WAS REVVING UP TO ASK ME TO SING SOMETHING RIGHT THEN, ANYTHING...THAT WAS IN THE MID 60s. AH HAH, WELL IT'S AL RIGHT NOW. IT'S ABOUT 40 YEARS LATER AND I'VE GOT SOME MAKING UP TO DO. OH YEAH! ANOTHER REGRET WAS WHEN I WAS INVITED BY FAMILY FRIEND FRANCES WHITE TO TAKE A RIDE WITH HER TO VISIT A VERY CLOSE FRIEND OF HERS WHO WAS IN THE HOSPITAL.... I FOUND SOMETHING ELSE THAT I THOUGHT WAS IMPORTANT AND PAST UP THE CHANCE TO BE IN THE PRESENCE OF WONDERFUL LORAINE HANSBURY BEFORE SHE DIED. SOMETIMES WE THINK OF MANY REGRETS IN OUR LIVES.... HEY, MAKE UP FOR IT THE BEST WAY YOU CAN THEN LET IT GO. Add to My Profile | More Videos THIS HAS TURNED OUT TO BE SOME REUNION PLACE..... MANY MYSPACE CONNECTIONS HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN FRIENDS FROM WAAAAAAAAAAAY BACK FROM MY THEATRE, TELEVISION AND RECORD COMPANY DAYS....GREAT SEEING EVERYONE AGAIN AND MAKING NEW FRIENDS AS WELL SUPPORT LIVE MUSIC MY LOVE FOR OLD FILMS.... AND I MEAN OLD GIVE ME A CHARGE. I KNOW I'M IN THE THROWS OF OLD HOLLYWOOD.... I'M HAUNTED BY THE THOUGHT THAT I LIVE IN AN AREA WHERE ALL THE BEST KNOWN FILM ARTISTS LIVED AND WORKED FOR CENTURIES... I'VE BEEN ON EVERY FAMOUS STUDIO LOT, I SEE THE HOLLYWOOD SIGN RIGHT UP THE STREET FROM ME AS A CONSTANT REMINDER OF THE GOOD BAD AND THE UGLY - YEAH, AND LANA TURNER TO YOU TOO
