HAPPY NEW YEAR 2012!…
I hope everyone celebrated in style and rung in the new year appropriately…even though it IS the end of the world! But let’s not get caught up in all that. 2012 is going to kick ass. Let’s all do something this year we’ve always dreamed of. Go nuts! I’m going to…
Thanks for another year of love and support! Your support of my music and journey motivate me to soldier on. It’s very inspiring. I can’t wait to share what i’ve got up my sleeve this year! Looking ahead on a new year I like to think back at some of the highlights of the year’s past. It’s insane how much a year brings–this year especially–with world unrest, uprisings in the middle east, more shitty politicians (all of them), music, youtube, scandal, joy…AND we’re about to enter an ELECTION YEAR! HOORAY FOR ENDLESS CAMPAIGN COMMERCIALS! Wait…i just puked in my mouth….
Let’s take a look at 2011. Thanks for making it so awesome…
Love, C
2011: Year in review…
I auditioned for The Voice on NBC! Tune in February 5th after the Super Bowl to see how I did!
I joined the “David Foster and Friends” concert series in which 16-time Grammy-winner, David Foster, gathers a group of his favorite singers to perform his hits. I was featured singing “The Prayer” with American Idol, and new NBC series SMASH star, Katharine McPhee. Other singers included Babyface, Stevie Wonder, Seal, Donna Summer, Cherice, The Canadian Tenors and more. (click to watch the performance on youtube)
I performed, once again, as a Dalton Academy Warbler from FOX’s hit show GLEE along side Darren Criss. This particular event was honoring Barbra Streisand as the Musicares Person of the Year for the Grammy Awards.
My songs were used in television shows and movies such as “Drop Dead Diva,” “Honey 2,” Lifetime’s “Coming Home” and more…
I learned from music greats like Stevie Wonder and The Osmonds…
I released new music on iTunes! A classical-pop EP featuring the Italian single “In Testa Solo Te” and the single heard on Lifetime’s “Coming Home,” Beautiful Life. (click to buy)
With my production team Church+State, I co-produced the UK single for Melody Thornton of the Pussy Cat Dolls. (click to buy)
I spoke and performed at the Adventures of the Mind convention in Missoula, MT. The event, hosted by the Phyllis and Dennis Washington, gathers 200 of America’s brightest young minds for a weekend of networking, learning and encouragement with adult mentors in the fields of science, medicine, sports and entertainment. The event took place on the 50 yard line of the University of Montana’s football field and was MC’d by Heisman Trophy-winner Herschel Walker. It was truly the highlight of my year.
I performed along side Matt Kearney, Michelle Branch and American Idol’s Crystal Bowersox at the 2011 Blissdom Blogging Convention in Nashville, TN…
I recorded the first single, “Pretty Girl,” for the new book series “The Survivors.” The book is not only getting critical acclaim but is getting technical acclaim due to it’s groundbreaking “immersedition” for the ipad which includes never before seen technology. The immersedition has over 500 touch points, google map integration, music and video’s embedded, twitter enabled and fashion savy links making it the most reader-interactive book of it’s kind.
I wrote and recoded a duet with Tony and Grammy Award-winner, Heather Headley, which will release in 2012. The song was co-written and produced by Grammy Award-winner, Keith Thomas.
I traveled around America and the world doing things like paragliding in Idaho and scuba diving in the British Virgin Islands…
So that’s the gist of 2011…here’s to 2012!
