2011...year of productivity for TV Muzic

Hello to all...I am now officially the CEO of Traci Vandee Muzic and Productions. It feels great!

As much as I thought 2011 would be about performances, it was not. It was more about getting back in the studio to make the TV Muzic demo the best it could be. I now have an official demo with 10 songs on it : ) I have heard nothing but great reviews.

I shot my 1st music video for the single "Make The Night Last". It will be posted very very soon. It was a long, exhausting day, but totally worth every second of it. So many people showed up for it. I couldn't ask for a better group of friends.

I just recently got asked back on a radio show I did an interview on about a year ago! They have been playing Rebound ever since and everyone has had positive feedback. I also performed 3 songs at the Atomic Cowboy about a week ago. I have about 50 people there just for me!!! I believe that was the best performance I've given thus far.

I have been on the look out for venues that I like. Everything is now finished and I'm ready to go. I will be posted performance dates and locations as soon as possible!!

Thank you all for you love and support!

Love,
TV

Whats next,

WOWWWWW!! 2010!!! Looking forward to 2011!!!

WOWWW..That is all I can say at this point. I have been addicted to the stage since I was a little girl. Dancing in front of hundreds of people was such a rush. As I grew I learned to embrace that rush I would feel, turning it into energy for my performance. That's what its all about. Giving a great performance that people are drawn into. A great performance sucks them in, moves them while there in it, and leaves a lasting impression that they want more of.

I haven't updated my blog since my 1st performance. What a year it's been. Things are finally staring to move along and I thought I'd share my feelings. Afterall, that's what writing music is about.

Needless to say, after my first performance, I wanted every weekend after that to be filled with a performance of some sort. I got back into the studio and started recording songs that you can now hear in clubs in St. Louis. I got a few more performances under my belt as well. I sang "Rebound" at The Cultural Festival in Bloomington. That was a blast! I had an entire row of fans there for me, including my bestest of friends. : ) Audrey and Jennifer came up from STL to watch. Oh yes, I forgot to tell you I moved to Bloomington/Normal for 6 months. It was productive, but then I ended up recording in a studio back in St. Louis. lol ohhh wellll. Now I'm back home making my name known out of St. Louis. My hometown...Oh how I love St. Louis. It's so full of soul and energy! Anywayyyy, I then recorded 2 songs that were more of a club sound, "Hangin With The DJ" and "Livin On The Edge". They've been a hit!

After the cultural festival, after that I performaned at my sister's dad and step mom's reception. It was amazing singing for family members.
I then performed for a gym full of junior high and high school students from bloomington/normal. That was a blast! At first I was thinking, "I hope my lyrics aren't too deep for them. I would hate to be up there and them not get into it." I was totally wrong. It was one of my most fun performances I've had! I sang a song that no one has really heard because it was the only age appropriate songs I had, "Just Me" THEY LOVED IT! They were all dancing and giving me high fives the entire time. After I was done performaning I had a 30 minute autographing session. I loved every second of it. I also got to talk to several of the students about how I got started and how they should never give up. Just to start some where and with hard work, good things will come. They were so inspired. It felt amazing to be able to give advice to people at a young age. I even had a girl sing to me because she was so set on being a singer, but was afraid to perform.

I then had a performance at SIUC (Carbondale) One of my good friends Tabria is in charge of the productions section of the college and asked if I would perform some songs. I said of course! I also got interviewed. That was an amazing experience! While I was performing, I got to work 5 cameras instead of just singing to a crowd. I learned a lot from that. I learned a great deal from the interview as well. It felt funny at first holding the mic to talk into when answering questions, but make it feel and look like I knew what I was doing. lol. The show will be aired in April on PBS! I'll be on TV finally! I will be getting a copy of the video soon and will post it on youtube and my website. So stay tuned.

I have worked SO HARD this past year. It is so amazing to look back and see what I've done. I've met another artist that I love and will be working with in the future Kingston O'Nasty and producer J-Traxx. They are both very talented and will be very successful, great people as well. I'm looking forward to the hot tracks we'll have out together.

I've been a little networking busybee! I love meeting new people and influencing them as well as being influenced. I have met a ton of amazing DJ's in the STL area. DJ CMace, DJ Costik, DJ Joey and DJ ADHD (aka Romano Brothers). What a great end of the year it was! I have my TV Muzic Album Preview Party/Bday Party on the 11th. It was the best bday ever! All of my loves and favorite people came out to support me! I got to hear my song at Mandarin, Morgan St. Brewery, Club Fusion, and now tonight Club Sol. When I first heard it play at Morgan St....I crieddd my eyes out! like seriously cried my eyes out! It was such an amazing feeling to hear my own voice in the club I've been haning in since I was 21!

So what's to come you ask?
I will be getting some video footage soon for my songs.
I will be recording several more songs to finish up with an entire album
I will be getting together my press kit to start giving out...that is when we will start tour dates.
I will be touring by the spring time
In the meantime, I will keep writing my heart and my mind on paper on a regular basis.. Life is such an amazing thing when you make it what you want. I am so blessed for all fo the wonderful family and friends that I have. I have such a truly amazing team that supports me 100%. It's the TV Crew and no one will stop us!

My promise to you is that what I say I will be doing..WILL happen. Haters..I love you to death. Please keep it up! you are the best word of mouth plublicity I have : ) kisses! I started with a piece of paper, a dream, and some amazing lyrics from my heart....and now I have this!!! I have grown as an artist so much this past year and I continue to grow with each and every song and performance. My music is my life. I will not stop until I am able to travel the world learning about other people cultures, while lettnig people experience TV Muzic. All I can ask for are prayers and support. Music is how I feel alive. If I can't make music, I won't ever feel like I lived...Pray for the safety of my team, a good year, and that I don't fall on a stage..lol

Well everyone, I will keep this updated now that shit's rollin!
I love you all!

My 1st Performance CHECK!!!

Hey Everyone!!! This saturday I performed at the Paul Mitchell runway show. I was the entertainment for evening and I loved every minute of it! I got to sing during the male model's jeans section. Let's just say I worked with my props very well! : )

It feels amazing to have my first performance done. However, I am now wanting even more than before. I am already getting addicted to performaning and I can't wait until the next one.

The best part of it all was that after the show I was talking to a few of the people in the audience. They would pull me aside and ask for my CD. I told them that it was my first performance and my demo would be done next month. They couldn't believe it was my first show!!! I hated how fast the night went, but I'm so grateful that I had the opportunity.

Thank you for all the love and support!

With Each New Contact, I Get a Little Closer

Hey Everyone!!! It's me again. I just wanted to write a bit about my spring break. I was sick for a few days but had to get over that. : ) Thursday night I was invited to Chingy's private birthday party in St. Louis at a wonderful lounge called Mandarin. My good friend Jenn and I have become regulars there.

We got to go meet Chingy and his family and friends for his birthday. They were all awesome! None of us really knew what to think but it was such an amazing time. Of course I got to talk to a few of them about my music. I will contact them sometime soon with my demo.

Saturday we had a stretch limo rented. We road in style back to the STL and went to Mandarin again to say hey to Chingy and his crew again. While I was there I got introduced to Nelly, Chingy, and Murphy Lee's manager. I talked to him for a bit and got his contact information. As I walked down from their VIP lounge, I started to cry. It was such a great feeling to know I had a legit contact. He was such a nice man. He listened to be babble about my passion for music then he gave me his card and said to contact him. Luckily Scott, the manager at Mandarin I know had heard my music and put in a good word for me. I can't wait to get my demo done!!! I know I have what it takes. It's just a matter of time and hard work!

I can't wait to be a RockStar full time!!!

Until then with love always,

Ready to Perform!

Hey Everyone!!!
At this point all I can think about is performing. With each finished song, I feel a little more accomplished. It gets addicting...I have been choreograhing my own dances since I was a little girl. I wake up thinking about music, I think about music all day long, and I go to bed dreaming about music.

The next step for me is to get about 2 more songs ready to perform and start going to different bars, venues, and clubs to perform. It will be so exhilarating!!!

Thanks for the love and support <3

To Begin Traci's Blog Nation

Hey Everyone! I hope that my blogs get better as I go but I just wanted to start with something.

My music career is moving along so quickly, and I'm loving it. Last year this time I would have never even dreamed I would have 2 songs recorded and wanting to sing more and more. I was terrified to sing in front of anyone, unless I was in the car with the radio on.

I now have 2 songs recorded on the demo, and the third is almost finished. I wanted to make sure I didn't rush that song though. I made the track for it myself! The lyrics are very deep and meaningful so I can't wait until it's finished.

I am hoping to put about 6 songs on my demo and see where that takes me. I hope to start performing in St. Louis, Bloomington, and around Alton as soon as possible. Can't wait!!!

Thank you everyone for the love and support and stay tuned for more news!!!

Love
Traci Vandee
