I also have family on my Fathers side/well known musicians & singers in Italy & Australia/Arizona. I enjoy almost every genre of music & like to combine sounds/genre's in my own unique way.I had stopped playing piano @ 11 because I wanted to play the guitar.My Parents were shocked when I had decided to sing & play @ my 6th grade talent show-my own song on guitar.Donning my red cowgirl hat,jeans & boots,I played the first time for my parents,my secret song "Unbroken & Free" for around 600 people, so thrilled that everyone was Astounded! No one else wrote & played their own original song. I had earlier in the summer had written & sung for my parents a song I wrote for entering Middle school called "Movin' on in Life" however I never recorded it.
I wrote several more songs,when Aunt Natascha & Uncle Jeremy visited on her laptop.We held up in the basement for hours emerging w/my first album " Faded"! We sent copies to WBER,they not only played "Unbroken & Free"but played all songs from "Faded"@ 13!

Congratulations on all your awards at the ceremony in Los Angeles! It was great fun for all of us who were able to be there! Good luck and continue with all your successes!
Hey Tivoli - great to listen to you on here; your voice and songs are awesome! And i especially like the song "Better" Nice groove, & cool the way you use that minor chord - ha. I went on a diet of only drinking and in 14 days I lost exactly 2 weeks, lmao - just kidding, I don't drink, but love the jokes. So, how goes you music career? And how's the weather over there?
Hi Tivoli! It was great to hear from you! I think your music is awesome! Congratulations to you and I want to wish you continued success! What a fun time we all had in LA!!
Hello beautiful Tivoli! Was so great to meet you at the awards, and so glad you have a personality as lovely as your voice. Best of luck to you always and say hi to your mum for me!
Hey Tiv! I know, number 1 again. I am so honored :) Thank you so much for your support as well. You are amazing!! And congrats on jumping up to number 5. That is so great! I've been falling behind on the homework from the course as well. Been so swamped with things, all related to music. But still, I need to get on the homework stuff. I hope you have a great time in NYC and all the best to you with your exams. You'll rock them! ;) Talk again soon.
Blessings,
Sean
no matter how hard things seem - hang onto the Dream...actually quite profound-sometimes that is reallly what it feels like because there can be a ot of nay sayers who aren't pursueing thier dreams so they want ot hate on you for keeping on going. Gotta let it go- and put one foot in front of the other and work on what you are trying to do - like a horse with blinders. So many just want to see you fail- .".like a soldier I march on , try to guard my heart, the pieces of our lives - like bullets shot me hard..." Some who you consider your best friends may be your worst deterrant. Pictured ehr e in my pictures are tons of artists hanging onto their dream, and I was glad to meet every oneofthem, each bringing something to the table- wishing everyone the best- don't give up - it's a great business if you don't lose yourself to hate. Love is the answer. There is enough pie for everyone- . Uniquely you - remember to shine it up and don't be afraid to bring your best out . At least always put the effort into it.
Even when you don't feel good you are doing good if you don't lose your focus on where youwant to be- keep it in yorur minds eye. <3
Tivoli you are too kind. Thank you again. I was able to hit your website. You've accomplished quite a lot. Ours is under construction currently but we do have a FB page. PLease feel free to check it out. We have a few other songs there that we have not submitted here yet.
Hi Tivoli - thanks for the add. Love your music, love your voice. If you'd like to hear more of my music, I'm in a duo called the Red. Bluesy feel - hope you like it. https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Red/132436250155142 Keep doing what you're doing, I wish you every success.
Thanks girl!:-) I appreciate the love. Do you have a facebook or twitter you can reach me on, I never come through this site. www.facebook.com/merumatu or @merumatu More love and support back at ya.
I can't tell you the thrill that coursed through me when kaitlin started talking about ehr cause and how she invited a inspriational role model up to the stage that she invited rorm Rochester, New York to come attend the Miss NY pagent, asked me to come to the stage- I was surprised that I could Walk through the audience down and up stairs until I got by her side where we held each other and cried- before she even gave me the unexpected Award for what I am naturally doing. Having a scholarship an drecognition fo rmy music, and participation, drive adds frosting to the cake of being her friend.
I Had a wonderful time with kaitlin Monte- Miss NY - She Surprised me by askiing me down to the stage- with Senator Klein and all the Miss NY contestants- and presented me with a 1,000 scholarship for college ! I am the first to receive one from her foundation for my stance and support of anti bullying, anti abuse and for suicide prevention, scleroderma, hospice, alt . for battered women , stand up guys, LIfestream, Merilees morning march for Mental wellness, My song I Don't Care , gathering signatures for the Jamey Rodemyer bill that she wrote and overcoming the obsticles of my own bullying episodes and abuse form administration who do not defend the victim rather victimize you again so they can keep their standing as a safe school. I want to tahnk Kaitlin for everything she did for me and my mom having us stay at teh hotel, the tickets, gala, dinner but most of all your friendship & support ! I am so happpy to become part of everything Miss NY Kaitlin Monte are about !
Thanks for your kind words :o) Greatly appreciate the support! Wishing you all the best - you seem to be doing even better girlie!!! Please support me & my pages - I'm on FB, CD Baby, iTunes, etc! Thanks!
