Mi Famiglia

A Man Like My Father

Happy Father's Day to all the Dads out there..especially mine!

A MAN LIKE MY FATHER

VERSE 1:
HE’S MY SOLDIER OF STRENGTH
THE HERO OF MY HEART
HIS GENTLE GUIDANCE
IS LIKE A SHINING STAR
THIS PRECIOUS PROTECTER
IS GOD’S LIFE LONG FAVOR TO ME

VERSE 2:
HE’S MY SILENT SAVIOR
THAT NEVER SAYS TOO MUCH
BUT WHEN HE SPEAKS
IT’S PRICELESS WISDOM
A MAN OF DETERMINATION
WITH EYES THAT HELP TO INSPIRE

CHORUS:
MY FATHER’S ARMS ARE WHERE I RUN
WHEN THE WORLD IS COLD
MY FATHER’S LOVE IS UNCONDITIONAL
NO I’M NEVER ALONE
HE’S HAPPIEST WATCHING ME SHINE
I’M SO THANKFUL THAT HE’S MINE
YOU COULD SEARCH THE WHOLE WORLD OVER
AND NEVER FIND A MAN LIKE MY FATHER

VERSE 3:
A FEARLESS FIGHTER
WITH HELPING HANDS
I HEAR HIS ENCOURAGING VOICE
TELLING ME YES YOU CAN
MY LUCKY FORTUNE
THAT LOVES ME LIKE NOBODY ELSE

BRIDGE:
I COULD NEVER ASK FOR BETTER
AND I WOULD NEVER TRY
I STRIVE TO BE MY BEST
AND HE ÍS THE REASON WHY

So much going on.....

In the last few weeks I have joined the broken hearts club. I hate that club. I don't like being in it and I would be psyched if my membership were revoked forever. Well, as of yet, no such LUCK! Alas, (yes i said ALAS!) while that sector of my life is sucking, work and career are great.  I said to a friend the other day "How can life suck and be awesome all at the same time?"

On to the awesome... last week I sang a jingle for Best Buy & Old Navy. I co-wrote and sang music for ABC's promo campaigns. I got calls that 3 of my songs are up for spots in both tv and movie projects. AND....(drum roll)... My song "Life Of The Party" that I co-wrote for Charlie Wilson is his next single!!! I even heard it on the radio! Major, AWESOME milestone for lil' ol' me. It is the #1 most added song to Urban radio as well!

So... F-U EX! 

Lil' Eddie's Album: Already Yours on Manhattan Records (JAPAN)

I am more than proud to have co-written 5 songs on the new Lil' Eddie Album "Already Yours" on Manhattan Records. The album which will be released 5/18/11 has already claimed the #1 spot on the itunes album chart. Eddie is not only a brother and friend, he is an inspiration to me. I love him with all of my heart. In this business, which is ruthless and political he has extended more kindness, generosity and grace to me than anyone!

Lil' Eddie soon will be taking over your radios, as an artist in addition to a songwriter! Buy the album and support great talent!!!!

You can find the album for sale on itunes!!! Our song "Momma" is also the featured song...here is a video of it:

Happy Birthday Stevie Wonder!

One night in Boston I was at my 1st Stevie Wonder concert at The Wang Center in nosebleed. Out of nowhere Stevie asked if there were any singers in the audience. I don't remember much else until I came to and found myself on stage with a microphone in my hand standing next to Stevie's incredible grand piano with a giant blue map of Africa on the top of it. He started playing "Ribbon in the Sky". I was cued in to sing the verse "This is not a coincidence but far more than a lucky chance"....and yes it was a lucky chance. I finished the song to see the entire audience on there feet...cheering, standing O...WOW! I remember hugging Stevie and not wanting to let go...again, I don't remember anything else.

A couple years later I happened to be in Sam Ash in Times Square, NYC where my boyfriend at the time worked. When Stevie came in to shop, they close down the store for him. My boyfriend, who had helped Stevie several times brought me over to him and said "Stevie, this is my girlfriend Deanna..the one I told you about who sang with you once"...He shook my hand I don't remember anything else.. I know I couldn't speak..and before I knew it he was pulled away.

There are great moments in ones life.. those were two of mine. Meeting the man who has inspired me most in MUSIC and has written a soundtrack to my life. I love him so much and am so thankful for him.

Happy Birthday Stevie...and many more!

FESTA di BELLONA MARIA SS. DI GERUSALEMME

Every year on Easter Sunday in my Father's town of Bellona, which is a small town in the city of Caserta (in Naples, Italy) they celebrate the FESTA di BELLONA MARIA SS. DI GERUSALEMME. 

This is where they take the statue of the Madonna from the town's church, place her on a large, gorgeous float of fresh flowers and carry her to every corner of the entire town so everyone can see her. It is the final celebration of a week of cconcerts, church services, prayer and carnival. It is an honor to be one of the men to carry her. Men wait years to be called upon to serve.

My cousin sent me a photo of this year's event. This is a long, incredible tradition and I am so happy that I have experienced it several times in my life. It's a celebration every one should see once in their life.

They even have a facebook page, so click here if you would like to learn more and see additional photos!

A Little known fact about ME

without LOVE there is no MUSIC. without MUSIC there is no LOVE.

PRINCE

So last night I saw Prince for about the 6th or 7th time. It was nothing short of religious. I could go on and on about the music, the musicianship, the stage presence, the songs...but words do all of it ZERO justice. Until you witness it for yourself can you understand his talent and greatness. The night started at the Forum in LA with MINT CONDITION opening up. Yeah...those guys are BEASTS! Prince took the stage and basically ripped it to spreads inviting Cuba Gooding Jr. & Sheila E. up on stage to dance with him. Then Prince goes to the piano and starts to play "How Come You Don't Call Me" and my intuition said "Alicia Keys is gonna sing"...I was right. He did about 3 encores...I personally never wanted to leave. 21 nights at the Forum... the answer is YES..I will be going to more shows!

Add Voice Over Actor...

to my list of talents! ; )

When I lived in NYC I studied voice overs and did my first reel. I booked jobs for the WE Network & Mattel pretty immediately but when I moved to LA my focus was solely songwriting so I threw acting and voice overs on the back burner. Well... 2011 was my year of dusting those talents off! I enrolled in the Radio Ranch for Voice Overs and with Carolyne Barry to study Acting with Don Bloomfield & Improv with Donovan Scott.

I intend on taking animation/video game v/o classes as well as narration and audio books.. but for now, I have my commercial reel to toot!

So if you are out there and need a voice over..I'm your girl. If you are an agent..I'm looking. AND if you can shed insight on snagging auditions in this town... contact me! : )


Thanks for listening!

"Too"

Almost 3 years ago I put a lot of time, money and love into doing my first ARTIST CD. The album is called 8:45AM and it is done... but not mastered or released yet! The last step to getting it out! I vowed this year to release the album and in a positive effort to do so... I have put together a video of images to flow with one of the songs from the album, "Too".

Watch, Comment, Re-Post...SHOW LOVE!

Buy My CD "Songs Written By ME for TV"

I have over 75 film & tv placements and often get emails from people wanting to buy the songs they heard on their favorite tv shows or in a movie. I used to just email them and mp3! I realized that I wasn't doing myself or my collaborators any great service by doing that! So I figured, since we are now a digital world..Let's get DIGITAL! So I put together a CD of 13 cuts to serve as Vol. 1 !
