Fly - Music

Dear Friends Can’t Say That I Remember The Exact Moment When I Decided I Wanted To Sing I Just Remember Always Wanting To. Well Sort Of. I Can Remember A Distinct Moment When I DIDN’T Want To Sing. When I Was About 8 Years Old My First Recital. I Got Up To Sing My Song Looked At All The People Quietly Waiting For Me To Start And Promptly Burst Into Tears And Ran To My Mom. I Told Her There Was NO WAY I Was Going To Do That Again. But I Also Remember A Moment About 45 Minutes Later When I Had A Change Of Heart. I Decided Maybe I Should Go Up In Front Of All Those People And Try Again. And I Did. It Was Somewhere Around That Fateful Night At The Recital That I Found My Passion For Music. I Knew Then That I Wanted To Put My Passion Into Action. My First Self Taught Step Was To Never Say No. I Sang On Buckets In Barns For Friends In The Living Room In Competitions At Festivals You Name It. When I Graduated High School I Knew It Was Wise To Go To College So I Studied As A Music Major. After College I Figured It Was Time To Take The Next Step In My Career. It Was Time To Leave The Alberta Farm I Grew Up On Behind. Time To Say Goodbye To The Cattle And Horses And Hello To Sky Scrapers And Traffic. I Chose Vancouver - Not Too Far From Home In Case I Ever Felt Those Tears Welling Up Again. I Tried My Hand At Song Writing When I Was 18 Or 19. Shortly After That I Began My Singer Songwriter Career Under The Name Katie Rox A College Nick Name. Before I Knew It Opportunity Started Knocking At My Door. It Came In The Form Of An Industrial Rock Band. I Had Been Taught By An Amazing Professor That Luck Was Simply Labor Under Correct Knowledge. Knowing LUCK When I Saw It I Jumped At The Opportunity With A Very Enthusiastic YES. Jakalope Took Me On A Whirlwind Adventure Of Videos Red Carpets And Foreign Countries. I Grew As A Songwriter A Performer An Artist And Learned Many A Valuable Lesson. Somewhere Along The Way While I Was Busy Saying Yes My Heart Started Telling Me No. I Got A Bit Lost In The Music The Small Town Country Girl Wasn't There. So In The Spring Of 2007 I Listened To My Heart And I Left The Band. The Summer Of ‘07 Was Spent Finding Myself Collecting The Pieces That Fell To The Side In The Whirlwind. Some I Have Yet To Find Some I Have Yet To Grow But I Recognize My Reflection In The Mirror And That Is A Very Good Start. Luckily I Found One Of The Most Important Pieces Of Myself My Passion For Music. What I’m Creating Now Is A Long Ways From Where I’ve Been But It’s Also Where I Started. If You Listen Closely I Think You’ll Hear My Reflection. Love Katie read less
