When a lifelong dream finally becomes true

My Rockstar DreamLife

Through my entire life, I’ve wanted to be a rockstar. A musician, singer/songwriter.

When I was little, we lived in Chicago, and we were members of the kind of church you see in the movies. Happy people who were up dancing and singing along with a big choir and a front singer. Sunday was always a party.

At some point, they started putting me on stage, and I sang all the happy children’s songs about how to be God’s sunshine. I’ve heard recordings, and much to my surprise, they are good!

Then we moved to Norway.

The church here wasn’t like that, and in the end my mom refused to take us there. She was all for a happy belief, and felt that this wasn’t it. So no more church, no more singing, no more stage. My dream wasn’t dead, though, and very soon I was singing in the children’s choir at school. Then in a teen choir, before I taught myself to play the guitar, and practised singing like Freddie Mercury. (Yes, I am aware that he is a guy, and I didn’t have a chance, but that wasn’t going to stop me!)

Then everything came to a grinding hault

I’m not writing about why in this article. I’m here to share the joy with you. Look out for a future article where I share my trauma, and how I fixed it.

It dawned on me, though, at the beginning of February, that I’ve written several hundred lyrics and texts that can easily be turned into song lyrics. I’ve played the clarinet, and was quite talented at in, taking center stage in the band, and stuck to it for 30 years! I realized that I’ve been a musician my entire life. I just never thought about it that way. However….

Today is the day I am sharing my

YouTube channel with you.

Because I finally figured out that I have a talent for writing lyrics, singing them, arranging the music through AI-tools with quality prompts, and mastering them myself in a DAW Studio before publishing.

Most of my music on that channel is rock, country and ballades. They usually have a weird twist, a deeper meaning, they can be true, real, or metaphorical and drawing images in your mind through text and music. Some of them have a rough edge. Most of them are about Feminine Empowerment.

My weirdest stuff will be shared with you HERE on Substack, my people who GET it! So I’ll be sharing a few of my songs here. But most of my songs will be on my YouTube Channel.

I’m also at the verge of getting them published to spotify. That’s a little longer process, but I’m working on it.

I would appreciate it big time if you Subscribed to my YouTube channel.
It’s free, you just need a Google account or make one, which is also free.
But it would mean SO much to me 😊 Thank you ❤️
