Music is part of my life for some pretty basic reasons. Generally, I’m in awe of it – in its inherent ability to “affect”. Music has changed the course of history and has altered the lives of millions. It shapes how we live, think and act in this world. It’s one of the few common threads that unite us all, cutting across all barriers regardless of place and time. I’m equally amazed by the people who create music… the natural talents who live, breathe, and work their craft to its core (to their core). The artists who understand the importance of practice, study, passion, teamwork, patience, trust, and perseverance. For me, the best part of singing is the opportunity to work with musicians like this. The learning is incomparable, and God knows the inspiration is unbeatable. But at the most basic level, I love music because it gives me – and millions of people – truly breathless moments. For me, there is nothing better. This alone is enough. That said, I invite you to listen to my first CD. I hope it moves you (and gets you moving). Share your thoughts with me at www.jeanniemusic.com. And if you like what you hear, spread the word! But most importantly, enjoy.
