Fara Palmer is a DIY(Do-it-yourself) Pop/R&B Artist & multi-award winning singer, songwriter, & guest-speaker. Born in Saskatchewan, but raised in British Columbia, this talented woman of Cree/Saulteaux/& European descent got her first taste of stage life' when, at the age of 12, she sang at an outdoor concert alongside artists such as: Buffy Ste. Marie, Floyd ‘Red Crow’ Westerman, Morley Loon & Winstun Wuttinee.
Since then she has emerged as a powerhouse vocalist, a heart and soul inspired, and multi-award winning chantuese.
Her first two albums entitled "This Is My World" and "Prettybrown" were nominated for
Canadian Juno Awards, as well as for Canadian Aboriginal Music Awards and went on to win
in categories of "Best Song Of The Year" and "Female Artist Of The Year" at the
Canadian
Aboriginal Music Awards. One of her songs on the Prettybrown album, "I'll make it up to you",
placed in the top ten for the worldwide John Lennon Songwriting contest in the category of
R&B. A number of her songs have also been placed in movies, television series, and made

SING, MOVE, READ 2: I'm currently involved in a childrens literacy recording project. I'm
the lead singer, and one of three songwriters. The target group is children between the
ages of 3-7. We are using rhyming patterns and are working with "it" and "at" endings. Not
only will i get to be a part of helping a child learn how to read, but the cd has a First Nations
focus. This is an opportunity to educate non-First Nations peoples about our culture and to
have some good ol' fashion fun learning from music, song, and dance!! Visit the SMR
website at: www.singmoveandread.com for more info!

Anyways, got any plans for next weekend? ... cuz i doooooooo! oooh, I think the pizza's here, I'm so freakin hungry right now, but it's all good. and that survey thing i was doing - THAT YOU WAS MAKING FUN OF ME FOR DOING!! - i just got paid! $76 for my first check, and since i got paid, I'm gonna do more of em, but I'm already at $184, so I'm loving it.

I believe that being successful means having a balance of success stories across the many areas of your life. If you go looking for a friend, you're going to find they're very scarce. If you go out to be a friend, you'll find them everywhere.
True friendship is, when everything in the world is going wrong, all you have to do is look at that special person and, suddenly, everything in the world is right again.
