What Happened in June:
New Tracks on….My Space?: What’s a My Space? If the name doesn’t sound familiar you might be missing out! My Space is a networking website. It’s open to anyone that would like to join and it is a particularly great way for musicians to introduce their music to the public. I’ve just opened a new page at: www.myspace.com/mistinsummers. Going to this website will allow you to listen to three of my songs, including my first single ‘Head Over Heels’,’ if you have a few minutes to check it out. J
Head Over Heels, New Single on ACMEC Records Sampler: ‘Head Over Heels’ is the name of my first single to be officially released on radio! This is one of two tracks produced by renowned producer Herm Kovac at ‘Ramrod Studios’. You can listen to and download Head Over Heels’, along with the two other tracks I recorded with Herm at: www.myspace.com/mistinsummers. Please feel free to have a listen and send me an email with your comments. I’m always up for some audience feedback.
Down That Road Hits the top 10: ‘Down That Road’, as song that was written by myself and Jessie Che, has placed in the top 10 of the Australian category in the ASA’s 26th National Songwriting Contest. Jessie and I wrote this song last January at the Australian College of Country Music in Tamworth. We are both so excited as this was the first song we wrote together. We will both attend the awards night Thursday to find out what place it has taken. You can listen to ‘Down That Road’ on www.mistin.net. Just click on the MP3 download link.
New Mixer: Look out! More power than ever before! Sounds like a car commercial, doesn’t it. Actually I am referring to my new mixer that was purchased just over a week ago. It hasn’t even been broken in yet. J It’s a Mackie ONYX 1620. Now I just have to figure out what all the knobs and buttons do
Acting Classes?? Look out Hollywood, I am now a professional actor! Ha–Ha, well not quite. I think I got a good start though. NIDA; The National Institute of Dramatic Arts was on. So I took full advantage of their stop in Canberra to take a class in performing for television to prepare myself for my upcoming music video. The video will be for my first single Head Over Heels.
It was a surprisingly intimidating experience to have a video camera invading your personal space…not to mention being coached by the stunning Nick Bishop from the TV show ‘Home and Away’. Oh My! Ha-ha. I studied drama all through high school and it was my favorite class. I’ve never had to act in front of a camera other than the odd home video. J It was fun but I don’t think I would like to make a career out of it. Stage acting is a lot more exciting to me.
