I hope all is well with you and yours this Holiday Season. Life is well for me as our family prepares for a new arrival in just a few more months. 2008 has been a blissful year and a challenging year.
My album is still doing well although I have not promoted it often. Family is the most important thing to me, so they always come first, but my love for music is always in my heart. Being an independent artist gives me the freedom to do what I want, when I want to and it allows me to take care of what I need to take care of when necessary. So I am grateful for that.
One thing I have learned about myself is that I am very creative and I do have a lot of ideas. Implementing them, however, takes more time for me. I think many artists, whether audio or visual may face similar challenges. There’s so much, it may be hard at times to stay on any one idea to see it through. My hope is, since 2008 was the first time I actually produced a complete product with the album, that next year, I will be able to follow through with more projects I have set in motion.
As you know, also, The Yasu Embassy is not just about music, but there is a mission. My purpose is to always shed light upon life’s situations and to write about them. The good and the bad, the happy and the sad are all included in my lyrics and the book I have been working on. All this time has not been idle, I have been developing the story for the book I plan to publish some time in 2009. Along with that, I am always exploring ideas about what I can do to promote the arts and unity in this community. There have been set backs with the theft of my laptop, but I still have the ideas jotted in notebooks, but all that I have written so far has been lost and there was no back up for me. SO I do have to start over with a lot, but I at least still have the ideas and concept for new songs, music, and books.
It is the hope that this Holiday Season will bring you all Love, Peace and Happiness!
Peace and Sound,
YASU
