"Here I Am"
 
album release concert  
on September 11, 2013
  
 
at the legendary Berlin club QUASIMODO,

It has been a great thrill for me to watch Jocelyn take giant leaps this past year in getting not only the new album out onto the market, but pulling together a new team, defining her vision and new clear goals, and coming back full circle to feeling at home with the piano. Not an easy task to sing and play piano, and Jocelyn does it masterfully.

JOCELYN is one of those rare, real deal artists. She has been in the business since she was knee high to a grasshopper. She has grown and stretched and has lived MUSIC and all its many facets, through jazz and rhythm and blues and classical to new age. She has done big events and sang in churches and 10 years ago she stood at the Brandenburg Gate after the twin towers fell in N.Y. and gave us all a moment of deep reflection while singing from her heart, AMAZING GRACE. It feels good this autumn to see how far we have come in the last years and how far we have yet to go. 

Jocelyn,  we will all be there! We are inspired by how you walk your talk and sing out into this world loud and clear, soft until a tear lands on our cheek and a smile to last more than a week. 

Kara 


P.S. HERE IS A SNEAK PREVIEW OF THE NEW ALBUM "Here I Am"  It is out on September 6th and you can have a hard copy of it signed and in your hands if you come out to the show. I will be there.

ARTIST DEVELOPMENT -  
MONETIZE YOUR BUSINESS WITH ONE DAILY HABIT

  

 
 

 

This past week I was at a going away party for a wonderful singer. She has worked hard and trained each week for years and finally has gotten a big break. I am thrilled for her.

 

At the party I met another singer who approached me. She wondered how I built my  successful business. She said she was struggling. Nobody was booking her sessions, she was going to auditions for shows and people told her they wanted someone else, another type of voice, another "look."  She has already done so much. She has songs prepared, a great resume, performance experience and yet no work. Why?

 

My mom used to tell me when I was a kid, money doesn't grow on trees. Now I am older and say often to myself  the same thing.   

Money doesn't grow on trees,  
nor do jobs.

 Many people think that successful creatives are either lucky or married to a millionaire with a few zillions in the bank and a house on the BahamasNothing could be further from the truth. Being a successful creative is a mixture of great talent, hard work and dedication and a clear well-thought out strategy as to what you would like to create for your life. 

 

You have the choice 
whether you want to be employable or entrepreneurial. 

Both take talent, hard work, and a clear strategy. 

 

 

The difference is that in being employable, you are always running after jobs and auditions and you are one of many people competing. If you choose to be entrepreneurial,  you take  responsibility for your business and career.  You are a conscious creative who owns your own work and vision.

 

What is the top priority you need, to go from being a struggling artist to a thriving artist that earns money and works successfully at what you love?

 

 

The number one thing is  
to develop successful HABITS.

Do the most important and highly focused work
in the morning 

 

One of the most successful habits you can have which will monetize your business within a few short months; is to use the first 1-2 hours of your work day to monetize your business. The errands and rehearsals and studio sessions come later  in the day.

 

Keep the first 2 hours of your day for highly focused work. Work on your top 2-4 projects that you have defined as products that  help you become more visible on the market. For example, you can write an article for your community, finish a new song and set a time to go into studio, upload all your lyrics to lyric portals on the internet, write clear content for your homepage, or reach out to the three people radio hosts to get the interview for your new book or album. 

 

Big rule of thumb is, do the most important and highly focused work in the morning. I personally keep the first 2 hours for monetizing my business. No social media, no skimming through emails, no long telephone calls. First 60 to 120 minutes is highly focused on the 4 projects I am working on. After that you decide, rehearsal time, social media time, lunch and dinner meetings, or studio sessions.


Here is a link to the productivity form I give to my VOICE YOUR BIZ™  artist development clients so that they always have the 4 top projects in front of them.  Feel free to download and use it for staying on track.  


In gratitude and to your continued success.

  • NEW MIND SETS   
  • POWERFUL VOICE TECHNIQUE that works!   
  • SINGING FRONT AND CENTER  in a safe and supportive environment.    
  • AND THE JOY OF TRANSFORMING FEAR AND INSECURITY INTO A MOVING PERFORMANCE: 
     
    "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."Marianne Williamson  
  
 

When you  DARE to go SOLO, and own your PASSION,
you have the greatest opportunity to grow and
stand in your brilliance and truth.

 
RESULTS:  
 
You will walk out of the workshop with a clear understanding of your role as a soloist and have new  tools in your pocket to make success  happen. 
 
 If you apply the exercises, I personally guarantee you that you will go to the next level in your performance.
 
Extra Bonus: You will make new friends 
that are not into competition but into supporting each other live creative successful lives. That's what we are about at VOICE YOUR ESSENCE™. 
 
Why play small when you know deep down how much you love to sing and how much you have to give to this world?  . 

Here's to your success!  

Stay Gold, Kara
