Band Life!

This story is about my new found love SNAFU. First I was a fan and now I am a part of a phenomenal band that stands with a purpose beyond just loving music passionately. I want you to see what I see and feel what I feel. I want to share my journey with the world and make you all a fan of my band SNAFU.

We got down...Down-Low!!!

The Down-Low Show was at Tanquerays, the only underground bar downtown and one of my favorite bars in Orlando. You will always find a familiar face in the crowd, and that's always a treat. Our friends came out to support us and we made some new fans! I love singing for my friends, fans, and family. I really don't like the word fan because fans eventually become our friends and I treat my friends like family so you do the math on that. Seeing everyone enjoying our music just puts me at a lost of words sometimes, so grateful to being living out my dreams.




Getting real deep for a moment---> Looking into the crowd and connecting with new souls, makes me connect even further. When I say the people I interact with make me do what I do, I mean it. Energy is transferred between us. When I write I write for you, knowing I have something for you. Your struggle is my struggle. Your happiness is my happiness. So when I'm writing I write from a place where I feel you reside and when I sing I sing from a place where you have double occupancy. We all need an upliftment and we all go through the same thing "the struggle", on different levels of course. We all want to know that we are not alone, there's always someone going through the motions. We all need words of upliftment and we are all human so we get mad at the world and I'm going through the motions just like everyone else. My aim and determination is to let everyone know "Fuck it! Live your life, ALL of it. The good, the bad, the awesome and the insanity. Just don't be consumed by the negativity, the good will always out weigh the bad!"


aaaaaand scene!





We played some new jams that we never played live before and everyone was pretty much diggin it, and it was pretty early too so they weren't just "drunk liking" everything and saying "i love you" every 2.5 seconds. You all know what I'm talking about! Friends singing along to our originals and covers, they make my heart smile and its always awesome randomly getting leghumped! ;) There's always 3 types of people in the crowd, those who stay for the first 2 hours, those who come in for the last 2 hours, and those who stay all night long. Here's how I seen things in my eyes this night. 10-12 crowd was awesome, they we're attentive and drinking and singing along, 12-2 crowd was not as energetic as the crowd before hand (shocking), they were people Ive never seen before which is always fun because this is where I turn into a "Jehovah's Witness" and try converting folks. I want people to genuinely like my band and the music we write and play, only if they are truly moved by us. (I ask people not to be fake because you have to live with yourself being fake and I don't see how people like living like that.) The 10-2 crowd was awesome, the support was on high from them. We appreciate all the love and support and those who doubted us in the beginning and loved us at the end, we thank you for the opportunity to to funk your life up!!!
