The Continuum

It ends and continues. As long as one has an identity, life continues even when it seems to have ended, because at such points it never end. It rests, it disintegrates, it transforms while alive still.

How I Rehearse II

Now that I’ve distinguished my voice types, and can hear better, I thought it good that I have routine warm up exercises (for ease and vibrancy). So, I tried out Tiffany Vanboxtel's epic warm up; and it gave a good result. Hence, I’ve been consistent with it alongside some other warm up exercises of hers.

My Vocal Range IV

2018-02-25T10:26:00.001+01:00

After the production of ‘Why’ and my realization that I employ different voice types, I decided to study it further. I started off by trying to separate them – to locate and distinguish them within my voice. And I tagged them: bass, alto and soft.

My Vocal Range III

I once told someone my primary concern with my voice was to figure it out. This turned out to take eternity. However, just recently I achieved that.

Why (Album)

2017-09-10T16:13:00.003+01:00

Production began April 7^th, 2017, ended June 24^th, 2017 and the album was released on the 25^th June, 2017. The album was produced by Efe-Keeyz. And for convenience, the production was split into two; the first four songs were produced first, then the rest.

2016 Singles

2017-03-15T11:22:00.001+01:00

This is a compilation of all my singles in 2016 and they are just four: Hey, Oblivion, Hush and Secret Lover. It was compiled on the 25^th November, 2016.

Hush & Secret Lover

2017-01-14T20:00:00.001+01:00

These two singles were produced concurrently between 12^th and 16^th November, 2016. They were produced by Efe-Keeyz.

My Vocal Range II

2017-01-12T19:56:00.001+01:00

My vocal range turned out to be a critical project, though I actually started out just to learn to sing well. But in the process, I had to tackle range.

My Songs II

2016-10-15T16:18:00.002+01:00

When I started out recording my songs in the studio, I was barely a singer. I did it because I felt it would help me - why should I keep paying coaches that could barely help me. I believed going headlong would make a difference and it did; though not rapidly. It was facing my musical challenges directly - essentially crafting and hearing notes. In all, it was a gradual bringing forth of my creativity and I’m glad it’s been progressive.

Hey & Oblivion

2016-09-28T10:20:00.002+01:00

These songs were concurrently produced between 10^th and 24^th September, 2016 as singles. Initially, I’d wanted to produce an EP but based on fund, I had to opt for singles, and I chose these two (because they perfectly capture my pattern of singing - off-pitch; and they are mixed off-pitch). They were produced by Efe-Keyz.

Rebekah-Flora (Album)

2016-08-12T13:11:00.001+01:00

This album was released in June, 2015 - just after Butterfly (EP). It’s a combination of Let’s Rock It (EP) and Butterfly (EP). This was done for economical reason - avoiding the need to pay more for less.

Butterfly (EP)

2016-08-09T20:20:00.001+01:00

This EP was produced and released in 2015. All the songs, except for “My Friend” were produced at the same time -- 16^th - 25^th June, 2015 by Efe-Keeyz in his studio; and were released afterwards online. However, the songs were not all composed at the same time.

Let’s Rock It (EP)

2016-05-09T09:08:00.001+01:00

The EP Let’s Rock It was compiled in May, 2015. All the songs (in the compilation) were singles released at different period up to 2015. But between April-May, 2015 I remade, or rather re-voiced all the solo parts in all the songs. Afterwards, I released them as an EP.

My Vocal Range

2015-10-13T15:17:00.001+01:00

I started out singing with a short vocal range. But I seemed to have the passion to develop though I wasn’t musically talented. I felt I could go farther. So I decided to keep pushing. I was also compelled to because of my issue with tone - I hear sound distortedly.

My Songs

2015-08-05T16:23:00.003+01:00

My songs focus majorly on change; and positive outlook to life. Change is constant, but we don't easily embrace it. Yeah, it's not always easy to.

I sing better now. That is to say, my effort paid off.
One of my motto/mantra in life is: look inwards. In the midst of walking amongst the crowd, pay attention to your inner self.

Singing Tip (My quota for now)

2015-08-01T16:53:00.002+01:00

"Now I can sing", this is what I can now tell myself. But can I teach someone to? No, I don't think so. Not yet; maybe one day! I still have things to learn and balance. I wish to sing harmonies and fine tune my tone hearing ability among other things.
