What type of author am I?
At present I am a West Indian author who writesWest Indian Literature. I describe my stories as reality mixed with a dose of my imagination and they are usually dark in nature.
However it's not the only type of story I want to write, I'd like to branch out into writing romance; paranormal, suspense, contemporary, historical, you name it I want to write it. There isn't any subgenre of romance I don't want to write. Who knows I might even try my hand at mystery...the sky is the limit.
Do I listen to music when I write?
Yes! I love listening to music while I write. I even weave some of my favourite songs into my stories. Music is a very integral part of who I am. With that being said, I should warn you all that my singing voice will not win me any awards or get me a multi-million dollar record contract but that's okay because I'm cool with my lack of singing prowess. It never stops me from belting out some high-pitched notes (think Mariah Carey) when I'm in the mood.
I'm always listening to music be it on my ipod, or laptop via Youtube or through what I like to call my "internal deejay" which is simply me just singing random songs or mixing several songs together in my head.
There's a saying that says eyes are the windows to the soul, while I believe that I also believe that if you listen to a persons playlist or watch their favourites on Youtube you'll get a glimpse into their soul. I believe music speaks to the soul, it doesn't care about colour, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, none of that matters when it comes to music. I'm going to share a bit of my soul with you through Youtube.
The first video I wanted to share was Lead The Way by Mariah Carey but I'm having some issues with getting it uploaded. The comment I wanted to make under that post was that most everyone agrees that the movie Glitter sucked but there was a gem on the soundtrack, this song which I love. Lead The Way is not the only Mariah Carey song I love, I love all her songs from the 90's.
Next up is Aaliyah's If Your Girl Only Knew, it goes without saying that I love this song. Aaliyah is my all time favourite singer, there isn't any song of hers that I don't love. I chose to share this video because this was the first music video of hers I ever saw, before that I had only heard her on the radio.
Karyn White's Can I Stay, what can I say except sit back and ENJOY!
I'm a HUGE rap fan and DMX is one of my favourite rappers, so I had to choose one of his videos as my last video to share. For all those who don't like expletives in their music, have no fear it's PG13 meaning all the curse words have been cut out.
