getting a chance to play live without all the structures in place is by far the most fun. Fun should be what it is all about. I have been playing 45 yrs and I appreciate players who can jam off each other and take the music higher...

About Me
Well....A Palestinian/Lebanese girl with Greek and Armenian roots (somewhere down the line!), brought up in Cyprus and married to an Irish-Cypriot-American! LOL

I am well travelled and love learning things about people, places and their customs. I love singing. I have never studied music but for as long I can remember, I have always been singing! I have worked as a session singer, backing singer, performed for the President of Cyprus, took part 3 times in the Eurovision Contest as a backing singer, Radio/TV jingles, some of my original works have been used for TV movies....etc...etc...not to mention the numerous venues I performed at all over the island of Cyprus and in Atlanta since i moved here 2 years ago from Europe.

In saying that, my passion is music....but I do have a Masters in Marketing and have have worked in PR for many years.

What I would love to do is work with a jazz/soul band... start off as a three piece and expand depending on venue and event. I am versatile and I would like to work with others who are too. I understand that there needs to be structure, but I do believe there needs to be room for experimentation. Some of my best live recordings of cover songs were just jams, played off the bat with little or no practice....I like to personalize songs and I will probably not sing a song the same way twice!

I take my music seriously and would expect the same from my 'colleagues'. I am a fast learner ...just thought I would get that in there!

Finally.....I like going to the movies... I hate vanilla...hardly drink alcohol......black is my color!!!! ....mmmmmm...can't think of anything else..

Thanks for having a look at my profile! :)

Awesomeness of jazz and soul!

I have been singing for many years now...yet everytime I perform on stage, especially somewhere for the first ime, I still get nervous! Isn't that funny?

Since, I moved to Atlanta, I have worked with showbands, so that practically means....practice, practice, practice and all the songs and performances are pretty structured. Very little room to play around. This is basically what I have been doing for the past 3 years!

Before I moved here, musicians in bands I used to play with used to get fru… Continue
