About Nadia

I have decided to open the vault and share all the music that I have played a part in creating.  If you are a friend of mine then you most likely know that I love to sing.  Along with singing I also enjoy creating music.  I never really thought of myself as a really great "Sanger", but I do feel like I am a Musical Artist who is inspired to create music as a singer, song writer and musician to express myself and reach out to others who can relate to me.

What goes into creating music?  

Well lets see...I create my instrumental tracks with a keyboard(Korg TRITON) and acoustic guitar.  Back in 2000 digital recording on a PC hadn't really become that popular, so I learned how to record my music and vocals on a Roland multi-track digital disk recorder.  Now in 2011 it is a lot easier to record and mix music using software on your personal computer.  But for bragging rights...this girl knows how to  use an old school multi-track board.  I endured the headache of bouncing tracks to make room for more because I loved multi-part harmonies, which you will get a chance to hear.

Back in 1997-2000 I was in a band called RareBlends.  It consisted of a lead guitarist (Rob Deguzman), bass player (Chuck Dawson), drummer (Mike Brown followed by Chuck Richardson) and me as the lead vocalist.  During this time I was attending Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond and enjoyed every moment of the carefree college rockstar life.  After I graduated from VCU and all the band members moved on to the next chapter in their life, I realized I needed an outlet to create my own music.  With my degree in hand I entered the corporate world and spent my first paycheck on purchasing a Korg TRITON keyboard and Roland multi-track digital recorder.   I taught myself how to use all the equipment and learned how to pick out a couple of chords on a guitar.   

12 years later I have created a huge amount of music and never shared it with more than a couple of friends.  Music is meant to be enjoyed and heard by many.  I can't let all this music sit around on old hard-drives, disks and CDs and not let other folks hear the sounds that have brought so much joy to my life.  So I have decided to share all the music that I created throughout the years and the years to come.  Feel free to check back and hear what song I have pulled from the vault or hear a new song in the works.  Enjoy...
