That’s A Wrap!

Yes! The music video for my single, “Getting Out Of My Own Way”, (Lyrics and Music by Jennifer Vazquez / Song produced by Ron Zabrocki) was shot on October 8th. I couldn’t have asked for a better team. What a priceless experience! So, before I share some fun pictures of the whole crew, just a little reminder. Be sure to check your HBO GO – HBO ON DEMAND – HBO LATINO – HBO COMEDY & HBO FAMILY listings for “Sleeping With the Fishes” written and directed by Nicole Gomez Fisher, where you’ll hear “Getting Out Of My Own Way” in its entirety at the end title crawl! And let’s not forget that the main character in “Fishes” is the lovely and talented Gina Rodriguez , who is coming to The CW on October 13th as “Jane The Virgin”. Anyway, I highly recommend you see “Sleeping With The Fishes” on HBO. It’s a true gem. Like Gina Rodriguez says in her recent interview with Fox News Latino, “I feel that ‘Sleeping with the Fishes’ and ‘Jane the Virgin’ get it right by simply telling a story that doesn’t hit you over the head with one thing or another.” So… After a VERY long day’s work… The Video’s Been Shot!

Blog #60: Obstacles In Life Are All Opportunities!

An Unexpected Solo Performance at Yogoccino….  From The Blog Series… 365 Blogs To Finding Pinocchio A Home On My Mind: There comes a time in life when you start to see every obstacle you’re faced with as an opportunity… to grow, to learn and to experience your full and complete self! Yes! Obstacles in life are all opportunities! And Friday’s gig at Yogoccino was one such example. It turned out to be an enjoyable night after all. What happened? Well,  Jason got sick last minute and I had to jump on board and put together an acoustic set of my own the night before. Instead of panicking, I dusted off a bunch of new tunes I’d been neglecting, since “Stilettos-n-Steel” has been my primary focus, and then added some “Jennifer Vazquez” favorites to the list and a few covers and I was good to go!  I’d say a good night was had by all. The crowd was great, the food… yummy… and the rest of the entertainment delightful!

Blog #14: One Hell Of A Woman… Mandi Martin

 From The Blog Series… 365 Blogs To Finding Pinocchio A Home   A few days ago I added on a new thought onto the list of thoughts of mine found on my  “Pure Inspiration” page. It was  inspired by a sad event for me and for many others in the LA community and all around the world. Mandi, a mentor, a dear friend, and a second mom to me during my years in LA, left us yesterday, April 30th, 2012 from a battle with cancer. The thought that came to mind when my friend Nick, who I met through Mandi years ago, informed me that she was not going to be here much longer was…
