Tey: GIFTS/News/BLOG

I made this video for you.. I couldn't fit all the pictures you sent or keep sending me, so you know they'll be more.. always!

"When the Power of Love overcomes the Love of Power the world will know Peace."


love always,
Tey

"Take Me High" remix and Tey are on the movie "X's&O's" which is available @ NETFLIX,com now :)

"It is the soldier, not the reporter, Who has given us freedom of the press.

It is the soldier, not the poet, Who has given us freedom of speech.

It is the soldier, not the organizer, Who has given us the freedom to demonstrate.

It is the soldier, Who salutes the flag, Who serves beneath the flag,
And whose coffin is draped by the flag, Who allows the protestor to burn the flag."

Latest interview with fueledbymusicpromotions.com. Here's an excerp and the questions:

Who are your influences?

What are your rehearsals generally like?

Was the opportunity to perform for the troops a changing experience?

What inspires your songwriting?

Are your fans supportive?

TEY: my fans are incredibly supportive! i always say.. "i am nothing without the listener". and i certainly have wonderful listeners.

Was it hard to be discovered? What advice would you give to those trying to reach discovery?

TEY: it certainly takes hard work! in your art, in every part of your career. my advice would be to work your butt off!!! in your art and in every part of your career.. to be yourself, to be honest with yourself and others, to always reinvent yourself, don't be afraid of changes, and to have people around you whom you can trust. always treat others as you want to be treated and be on time! and do as you say.. always!

On the fashion side of things, how would you compare your personal style to your performance style or is there no difference?

How do you bring your Filipino (did I use the correct term) culture to the stage?

TEY: i try to perform at least one song with some "tagalog" in it. i love to share my filipino culture because i think it's a gift. and it's amazing how well my audience really appreciate it. i'm never surprised when they enjoy my tagalog songs more.. and buy my tagalog cd's as well.

Is there anyone you wish to thank for emotional of financial support?




coming up on next blog: (questions from fans/friends)

"I see you have a remake of 'Never Knew Love'. Tell me all about it.
How did this project come about, Tey. As well, let's talk creative process. Inquiring minds want to know. Let's start with: who you worked with on this project(production), marketing strategies, from start to finish, studio hours, etc. I am sure there are some more things to ask Tey, I can't picture them just now."

"I was thinking how nice it would be to see a blog on how your career is treating you. You really don't talk too much about your highs and lows regarding your career. I would find this hugely interesting to see you open up more about that facet of your life.
Heck, what if you had a friend with a video camera follow you about on your day to day routines. You could have your own "reality show" on the internet.Setting aside your obvious musical talent, you are absolutely captivating on camera.You have a sincerity that oozes out of the screen and I think this might be something that could generate a lot of interest.
I believe that with all the no-talent people who are getting known thru Reality shows....someone like you who actually has talent might prosper from this."

no matter what life brings i can't help but be thankful and always smile and laugh. maybe it's my upbringing, i thank my parents for that! and THEIR parents! they have always taught me to always be "thankful". my dad said it again to me the last time i went home for mother's day, he said his dad always told him "i don't go to church to ask for anything. i go there to say THANK YOU".

..and you definitely make me smile and laugh. good times! :)

99.9999% of the messages i get here and every where are amazing complimetary and for that i am forever blessed and thankful. but i do get the occassional 'slap in the face'. but that's alright. i'm glad for those too! :) i actually started blogging alot more than before because of a girl who told me off telling me i had no appreciation for my fans (and in a very graphic way if you know what i mean). i'm not sure where she is right now.. but i do thank her for opening up my eyes.

i'm not saying this is a negative email but it does raise a question. and it may just be a question others may have too. so here it is: (from the beginning..)

Tey, a thought just crossed my mind. I wa watching the softball world series for women. I chose the team that had the best looking girls. How many male fans do u think u would have if you were not a little fox? Do u think K.D. Lange has any male fans that aren't gay. I doubt it. Cheers--and keep rockin in the free world for as long as we have it.

Here's my response:
--------------------------------------------------------
its always nice to be thought of.. love always..

I got this today:

Nice of u to respond but I thought I had an interesting take--and all I got was a canned response. Let's try in another direction--how much of your appeal is sexual and how much is artistic. Now be real and actually consider this--the answer doesn't matter as long asyou honestly think about this. Ciao-wiedersehen-bonjour-whatever.



i answered that email i got today.. and believe you me i have lots to say about IT and K.D. Lang, but i would rather hear your voice on this matter:) love always..

and here's "Sex on the Beach" for you again! thank you for always listening!

i was recently given a choice to befriend a 7 year old boy with Project Child Smiles (PCS - where artists unite to brighten up a child's day by their heart). i am told he has marfan's sydrome. i was reading about the illness on the internet but the information i'm getting is limited to the medical and scientific side of it. if you know anything more personal about the disease or know of anyone who does i would love to hear all about it.. thank you so much for your help :) love always..

p.s. financial donation to this cause is always welcome here. all donations are used for all children and not one specific child.

your time and information response to this blog is greatly appreciated.. you guys are the best!

p.s.s. if you're an artist and would like to donate your time and heart to a child you can email Project Smiles staff: sherri@projectchildsmiles.org and/or maryellis@projectchildsmile.org
