New page on my blog – selfies galore – gallery through the years

Published on by Jaya KhoobsuratLeave a comment

I have placed a new page on my official blog (selfies are a good record of one’s state of mind) – which contain some of the pictures I’ve taken during the making of musical and film achievements – a general history, some definite nostalgia – there are many pics missing from earlier years, which I’ll add when I find them – but… this was a bit of fun for me, and has brought back so much memory, struggle, triumph, sadness, joy and generally experiences that I’ve treasured — comments are welcome; and questions too, if you feel inspired.

Shape of My Heart – JK Cover

Published on by Jaya Khoobsurat3 Comments

I adore this song….  its just, beautiful – very elegant and such a sweet melody. I took the entire day and enjoyed singing… just simply recorded in my (unpadded) humble office – no sound equipment – just, Garage band and a set of headphones. I pray one day, I can record in a beautiful studio again…. if anyone listening/reading this post wants to give me that chance… don’t be  shy – use the CONTACT form !

No rights reserved. All rights belong to the composers, musicians and recording company’s for the original version. No royalty or fee is due; or, charged. This is simply a beautiful cover – I love singing… !

Backing track (these two wonderful musicians are hero’s in my book – revolutionizing the classically trained to do ‘out of the box’ work – they seriously rock – and I adore them – I hope my humble singing effort does justice to their beautiful work):  2CELLOS – Shape Of My Heart [OFFICIAL VIDEO]

Relax as you view the pictures… music to soothe the soul…

I Surrender – JK Cover

Sung with love, this was an incredibly challenging song to nail down –  I hope you will hear the vocal effort, despite the  very humble office recording circumstances….  One day, I sincerely hope to work in a proper studio again.  For now, I will keep working on perfecting, strengthening and challenging myself to stretch into new pieces.  And, may the planet choose and decide upon, Love.
