Joy Leslie

Alright!!! So the last time I was on here, I sang a little Lauren Hill and I said that I had some shows coming up. Well, I did the two shows and they were a lot of fun! I sang on Monday and Tuesday night in New York and got some really great feedback and reviews from the people there. What a cool experience. I’m definitely going back!!! I was thinking of posting the videos, but I’m not sure I want those to be fully out yet since my cd isn’t released yet… so maybe a snippet or something.. we’ll see I met some guys that actually asked me to be a part of one of their showcases, so I’m going to keep in touch to find out more about when and how and where… If any of you are in New York when I do I show, please come by! I’m going to be posting on here when and where you can catch me.

So as for what else has been going on with me, weellll, the biggest news is I’ve been really sick lately which explains my absence.. I literally was in bed for two days this week, and could barely get out for longer than an hour on the others. I’m actually feeling much better today, so I’m here in the studio doing a little bit of work. Ummm I also set up my new bank account, I start training on Monday with Chanan aka Jakhamah, and I have a new hair appointment tomorrow (actually TWO new hair appointments tomorrow)… so I think the curly hair is going to be a little less consistent now a days… especially since I’m doing some shows now, and I want to look a little more glam. So yeah!!! Life got a little busy all of a sudden! But this feels really good. I’m also going to start work with another one of Next Selection’s finest, Uness.. We might work on writing some songs to sell to some artists and make a little money… Otherwise I literally have no other source of income.. check out Uness’ MySpace page too - boy can siiiiiiing like nobody’s business LOL!!! www.myspace.com/uness - seriously check this guy out! He and I are going to try and put some more music together for me so that I can finally finish this album and get my release ready to go! The last time my brother and I spoke, we’re looking at a Valentine’s Day release… My only concern is that I heard Janet Jackson is releasing an album in February and there’s no way I can compete with that icon! LOL… we’ll just see.

Five days until my husband’s birthday… any ideas on what to get him? I haven’t got a clue! LOL

But until then, here’s a little snippet for y’all… Hope you like it! LOL the song cut out midway through the last chorus, but it came back on… it was kind of funny… but I’ll let you all see for yourselves..
