Hey, everybody! Glad to see you’re all dropping by again to see who is new. I’m going to present a female keyboardist/pianist named Angelina Rozhdestvina or just Angelina. She’s 24 and was originally born in Moscow, Russia, but raised in London, England. Angelina is also a songwriter, music producer and singer. Her style of music is a combination of acoustic, soul, ska and pop. In the video, Angelina tells her story about how she was raised and her love of music. She also talks about the progression of her music career. I was impressed when I heard her sing during the video! That’ when I made up my mind to blog about her. For me, she’s a mixed of Alicia Keys and Amy Winehouse in a way. According to her myspace profile, Angelina found an old record of Whitney Houston in her father’s collection when she was 10. Interestingly, Angelina’s parents had a classical musical background back when they were living in the former Soviet Union, but had to flee to London in 1994. Also on her myspace profile, Angelina shares how she won her first singing competition at the age of 11 and went on to join her sister and their best friend to form a trio. The group parted ways when she was 18. Since then, she has started a solo career of her own. I see a great music career in her future. That’s my prediction! Look her up at 2 of her sites at www.myspace.com/angelinaonline and angelinamusic.co.uk. I’ve got to go find more talent. Same as always, GOODBYE & LATER!
I’m crashing in with another blog about a female artist named Margaux. She was born in Cologne, Germany. Margaux is a mix of French and Greek. In this video, Margaux is doing a live acoustic session with another guitarist named Seb Mallen. I really dig the video, I must say! My favorite part about the video was her strumming technique along with slapping the guitar for a funky drum kind of beat. That was definitely off the hook. It’s like Margaux is bringing something new to the mix, you know. According to her website, at the age of 5, Margaux’s mother bought her a guitar. Unfortunately, her mother unexpectedly died two years later. Margaux wrote her first song shortly afterwards which in later years became ‘Oceans Apart’. She developed her guitar playing and her performances when she and her family moved to Southern France at the age of 14. Later, she moved to London, where she continued to develop her songwriting skills in order to further her musical career. She’s bringing something to the table for us, Ladies. Until next time, GOODBYE & LATER!
I’m glad to be back and I’m happy you are back for another full dose. I’m going to talk about a female Japanese guitarist named Haruka. She comes from Japan. In the video, Haruka performs in a Japanese TV concert on some kind of show. I had no idea she was going to rock out like that. My favorite part about the video was when she shreds the high notes at a fast pace. That was very remarkable. Ladies, if you’re looking for some inspiration, you need to watch this video, A.S.A.P.!It goes to show you ladies no matter who you are or where you are, you can make an impact on others. It’s that time again to move out until the next blog. As always, GOODBYE & LATER!
Thank you all for returning to the RCL blog. I want to talk about a talented young lady named Fatima Burke. She’s from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and she’s 23 years old. In the video, Fatima is playing the keyboard with a male drummer after a church service. I like the way she played her instrument. It was tight despite the loud drumming. My favorite part about the video was when Fatima did her little keyboard solo. I can’t believe she can play so fast which is cool to me. Fatima is a big fan of gospel music and loves to praise the name of the Lord above. According to her myspace profile, Fatima is also into web and graphic design. She loves poetry, singing, playing the piano, drawing, and writing songs, too. And not to mention, she designed her own website. It all sounds cool to me. This young women has definite goals for her life. Congrats to her! You can get know Fatima on her sites at fatima williams.com. You can also check her out on myspace and youtube, also. Need to get gone. Until next time, GOODBYE & LATER!.
Today’s artist has all the crazy-fingered skills of an electric guitarist. Her name is Nori Bucci and shee represents Buffalo, New York. In her video, Nori shreds her guitar to the limit while playing her original song called “Recurring Nightmare”. She’s also playing with her band called Gamalon. Gamalon is a popular Buffalo jazz/rock/fusion band. I really dig her shredding ability as a guitarist. My favorite part was her riffs. Nori has a nice hand stretch when it comes to her playing. That is what we as women need to demonstrate more. And Nori is a great example of that. According to both her website and myspace profile, Nori developed an interest in playing guitar at the age of 10 years old. By listening to her favorite records and picking out songs by ear, she taught herself how to play the guitar. Nori has also written guitar based instrumental music and short pieces of fingerstyle guitar composition as a teenager. Very impressive. Also, Nori has won best rock guitarist at the Buffalo music Awards in November of 2003! She has a home studio for her composition, recording, and performing. She has already has 2 CDs out right now called “Speak My Soul” and “Tales of a Dream”. Get them while they’re out, ladies!

Hello, to you fine people today! I’m here to talk about a female guitarist named Edina Balczó. She represents Debrecen, Hungary. In her video, Edina performs her original instrumental song called “Dreams” on her classical guitar. I was very amazed about her playing! My favorite part about it was her finger picking technique( Pick free!). I’ve never heard anyone that I know play like that. Her musical style is miscellaneous ,even though she is a flamenco guitarist. Edina can play rock, classical, flamenco, percussion guitar and so on. According to her myspace profile, with the help of an old Russian guitar owned by her father which had gathered dust for ages on the top of her wardrobe, Edina Balczó started playing the guitar at the age of 17. Her profile also states by using the internet and some advice from her friends, Edina was teaching herself how to play the guitar. Under the leadership of a very talented guitarist called András Homonnai Varga, Edina started learning flamenco guitar. She’s a biologist student at the University of Debrecen and she is also in a band called Los Vampiros. Time for me to draw this blog to a close until next time. GOODBYE & LATER!.

Hey, everyone. I’m feeling refreshed and ready to get this thing started again. Today I’m talking about a cool chick named Alex Bach. She’s a song-writer, guitarist, pianist/keyboardist, and singer. Her music is a blend of rock and pop. She was born in France to a French-Tunisian father and an American mother, according to the booklet in the DVD instruction guitar method “Guitar for Girls“ featuring Alex Bach herself. Alex now resides in New York, New York. Alex and her family moved to the United Arab Emirates shortly after leaving France. Then, back to France, and then finally the United States, where Alex spent the remainder of her childhood. During a humanitarian mission to Costa Rica, Alex gained an appreciation for Hispanic cultures, as well as a grasp of the Spanish language as a teenager. Also, being multilingual, her diverse background has influenced the person she has become and the songs that she writes. According to her myspace profile, Alex was originally headed to law school so she could fight for justice and defend the underdog. But she soon realized that songwriting was a more universal way to stand up for her beliefs. She is always honored to do benefit concerts and volunteer work, according to her profile. In her DVD “Guitar for Girls”, she teaches different strumming patterns, guitar chords, basic blues, finger picking, and creating melodies and chord progressions. Even I have the DVD and it works great! It’s definitely worth looking at. Look for more about Alex at 2 of her sites at www.myspace.com/alexbach and www.alexbach.com. As much as this was fun for me to cover, it’s time for me to beat it. GOODBYE & LATER!

In this video, she’s doing a cover of “ Song of Love” by Rebecca St. James while singing and playing the acoustic guitar. I love how she plays her guitar in the video. My favorite part about the video is was when she starts at the beginning of the song. Zendeling is also an active Christian. According to her Youtube profile, she wants to praise The Word on gospel music and God. I can definitely imagine her on the gospel music scene keeping true to her word. Well, my best of luck to her!

Today’s Keyboard Spotlight artist has an interesting story. Her name is Alina Smith and she was born and raised originally in St. Petersburg, Russia. She’s also a songwriter. Her music style is Pop, Soul and mostly R & B. She’s 19 years old and she divides her time living in L.A., New York (The city), Las Vegas and Hollywood in the United States with her husband, Brad. In this video, Alina plays her keyboard while singing her song “Simply Pray”. What a big voice from a young woman! I also had the chance to listen to her other songs on her myspace page and they sound fresh and hip. The song, according to her Youtube profile, is dedicated to her father who it states was mentally abusive towards her and her family.
When Alina was 6 years old, she had to choose between a scholarship to a renowned music academy and a prized invitation to the famed Vaganovsky Ballet School. Ultimately, the decision in favor of a musical education was made. Talk about a big decision for someone who was so young at the time. Alina was discovered by an international choir director when she was only 9 years old. According to her myspace page, she started writing ,composing and performing her own original material by the age of 14.Alina has a bright future ahead of her, no doubt. I’m happy to blog about this talent.
