Holla - love, Wolfy.
I released my first solo album “End of the Rainbow” a year and 30 something days ago which was followed by a fantastic 2011 for me because of my indestructible, passionate, brilliant, beautiful fans. Every single one of you made me want to give more and more and more. I spent my summer recording a sophomore album that I was so looking forward to sharing. It was due for a September 2011 release that I had mentioned several times, and then an amazing thing happened for me (and hopefully that means for my fans, as well), but wasn’t so great for the album that I was so proud of, but I had to swallow my pride to accept a bigger mission. I was offered my first ever pub deal, not just any deal, but one where I would be forming and utilizing a family of incredible people, both hella fu*^$% talented, and all around great souls; such a blessing. As an independent artist, this is what stood out to me, this is what I appreciated, not the associated legitimacy. Not wanting to talk publicly too much about what was happening before I had a solid game plan to get excited about, I got a little quiet on twitter, fb, tumblr, etc. I missed you guys so much and could not wait to be back with good news!! So here goes…Since October I’ve been on my grind in the studio writing and recording and making the awesome possibilities for other artists to cut my songs, and developing a few artists of my own. I’m now a member of London based dubstep/garage/pop girl group “Ladyriot” headed by the cats responsible for JLS…we just finished recording our EP and are working on completing the rest. Simultaneously, I am working on a project with my dear pal Simon Curtis that will hopefully blow your minds…it’s been in talks for a year and a half and is finally coming to fruition with an executive producer (to be revealed soon ;) who is simply phenomenal and an honor to be collaborating with. Lastly, Wolf Jones…I know you’re wondering what happened to Ro Danishei…she is in my heart, humbled and grateful to be a part of this journey, the girl my family and friends still know me as- but I had a dream one night…similar to a recurring one I had as a child where a wolf would turn up outside of my house at night, all the doors and windows would be locked, I would be silent, hold my breath, hide, but no matter what I did and how secured the house was, he was smart, and would always find a way to break in; I was terrified, so scared because I knew he wanted to eat me and would keep coming back until he did…except this time in the dream I had a little while back, the wolf appeared in the daylight…I was outside, she appeared only ten feet or so away from me (he was a she this time), and instead of fear, this time I felt honor and excitement about having this amazing wild creature in front me; we locked eyes and we began to move closer to each other, and all of a sudden my physical body disappeared and I realized that I had actually transfered myself into the wolf. In the blink of an eye I felt powerful and wise and like I could never be alone. I have grown so much in just the past year as an artist, as a writer, as a person, and still have a lot of growing to do, but from here on, I embark upon my journey with my pack, and for them, for my fans, for my fellow writers and artists, for my family. Thank you for all of your love, support, and patience…help me continue to build this tribe and 2012 will knock everyone’s socks off!! More to come…
