Transexual Recording Artist Steps Into the Spotlight
My First Single "Spotlight" is now available on iTunes, Napster, Amazon, EMusic, LaLa, and more. Spotlight is a song that examines another perspective on fame and the seduction of the spotlight. There are many talented artists, musicians and business-minded people who are searching for the spotlight to shine on their careers. The line in the song "people of the night," refers to the underdogs, and people who deserve the spotlight but have to work twice as hard to get it.
As a Transgender artist I use to feel as though drag was the only venue for the stage. Playing the piano since the 4th grade and now playing guitar, music has always been a large part of my life from musical theater, and school and church chorus. When I became a transexual I thought I would have to give up the music. Who would accept a transgender recording artist? But the day has come, an apocalypse is here. According to Egyptian gospel an apocalypse will occur, when male and female are one again. I think the world is ready. With my debut album, "When Two Worlds Collide," I decided to release it independently, but in doing so still gained the attention of two major recording labels. When I meet with them again, I'm hoping to receive such overwhelming support and love from the transgender community that I can bring with me into the board room when negotiating. I'd like to also be equipped with actual data that shows how well the transgender community is willing to stand behind and support people in our community chasing after their dreams.
