THE STORY BEHIND THE QUEENIE ALBUM With only a shoestring budget, QUEENIE was recorded with a minimum of equipment back in 2001, back when I first discovered my love of the internet. The majority of the QUEENIE album was recorded in a not very large closet!!! Despite it's dedidedly lo-fi sound, the beauty of the song "Lost" propelled it to number one positions across charts on MP3.com, BeSonic.com, and many, many more. Songs from the QUEENIE album garnered critical acclaim from so many websites that my voice became sought for song collaborations, a few of which became great hits in their own right. I still do a little collab work if/when I can squeeze it in. WHO IS QUEENIE? Queenie is a fantasy character that has evolved to express my musical side. The name was borrowed a long time ago from a book by Michael Korda, but I liked it because it's a common name for cats and dogs as well as a name for people of mixed-race descent. I am half-Japanese and half unknown-race.
