Stay tuned for more info and a first look at my band Two Tribes – new music coming soon!  x

Here’s what we came up with:  x

Thanks to everyone who came out for our first show back in my home city!  x C

Writing something like a gushy, guilty-pleasure is one of my favorite things – it must be the bed-jumping, Justin Timberlake worshiping teenage girl inside me, but I can’t think of a better, more eye-roll inducing (from Alex) assignment.

We recently met with Adrian and his entourage in downtown Los Angeles to talk music, his image and live show which includes back-up dancers and a full band. Alex talked shop with his manager and we got to work on the track, “Game Changer” – it’s fun, sexy and upbeat (and yes I may have been rapping a little during the demo). This one’s for the ladies. Stay tuned!

Check out “Made to Order” written by myself, Daniel Tashian of The Silver Seas and Christopher Newton (Idiot Pilot & Glowbug)!

We had a great time doing this track, the writing began in Nashville and ended in Seattle (my little cross-country collaborative gem).  Please visit our Bandcamp site to download for free or donation!
