| Music
|
I love standards from the '30s and '40s the folk/pop singers of the 70s (Gordon Lightfoot John Denver, Dan Fogleburg), industrial music, and everything in between. Some of my favorites are also my influences including Sarah McLachlan, Nine Inch Nails, Jewel, Tori Amos, Jonatha Brooke, Ani Difranco, the Deftones, Tool, Diana Krall, and many others. Miscellaneous things also apply: Native American flute moves me to tears. I love bagpipes thrown unexpectedly into songs. Hand-drums make everything better. I love piano... and have developed an imperfect but unique approach to playing it because I'm untrained and yet love exploring it. I could go on and on about music...
|
| Movies
|
Many... including, my favorite, The Piano (surprise), The Constant Gardner, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind The Color Purple, Hotel Rwanda, The Professional, Natural Born Killers, American Psycho, Kinsey, Pirates of the Carribean Finding Neverland, Shine, Whale Rider, Frieda, Fried Green Tomatoes, Chocolat, Like Water for Chocolate...
too many.

| Television
|
I go months without turning the TV on but when I bother with it I'm usually watching The Daily Show. Once upon a time I watched The X-Files every week.
|
| Hobbies
|
Aside from music-related things I spend a lot of time painting and drawing and sometimes writing. I cook whenever I can--it's one of the most relaxing things to do. I love spending time outdoors whether it's hiking, camping, kayaking, swimming, or other activities... I'm a nature-girl! |

I'm very interested in world politics, and am not exactly a fan of my country's leaders and the roles they play in the world arena. I'm a democrat, a womens rights advocate, environmentally concious, against unneccesary war, and a fan of free speech. I think that this makes me anti-american, according to the new definition... Hmm...
I am spiritual in a way that doesn't adhere to any one belief system. I believe we can always do more to help the impoverished, the sick, the old, the abused, etc... the richest country in the world can use the most wealth for good, after all. I'd like to remain optimistic that it will one day live up to its potential. I'm still waiting.

Halie Loren is an alternative singer/songwriter who at 22, is already carving out a unique musical niche with her jazz-infused breed of intelligent piano-rock. Her richly textured emotive voice and compelling song interpretations make it easy to see how she was nominated and won the Female Rising Star and Alternative Entertainer categories in the Independent Music Awards before even turning 16. Halie writes with passion and delivers with a keyboard-driven focus carried along by her dynamic vocals. She has already garnered multiple songwriting awards in almost every music genre from well-respected sources including the Billboard International and John Lennon Songwriting Contests and took an Independent Songwriter of the Year award before she graduated from high school.
Growing up in Southeast Alaska much of Halie’s diverse music exposure came early-on from listening to everything public radio had to offer and her parent’s eclectic music selections. From her first on-stage jazz performance at the Sitka Fine Arts Camp at age 10 Halie knew music was to play a big role in her life. After moving to the ‘lower 48’ she was quickly ‘discovered’ by Northwest music communities and touted as a rare vocal talent and music opportunities immediately began coming her way. By age 14 she had begun to write her own music with three of her first original songs receiving regional & national awards. At 17 Halie moved to Nashville to further pursue songwriting and industry experience. She spent the next 1-1/2 years there writing recording, performing, and exploring Nashville’s extensive musical offerings all before returning to the Northwest to continue her education.
Halie’s live performances highlight her intense emotional outpouring and commanding stage presence. She has headlined full bands in front of thousands spiced up jazz trios in intimate club settings and brought down the house at musical festivals. She also plays solo with her trusty keyboard as her only companion including showcases in New York City (International Songwriters’ Guild) Nashville (famed Bluebird Café) and in Seattle (Rockrgrl International Conference). She’s collaborated with many well-known and respected writers and numerous other music industry veterans all while going through her teenage years and preparing for college. Often compared to other artists such as Tori Amos Sarah McLachlan, Paula Cole and Joni Mitchell she has still held on to her own unique musical voice.
Now attending college Halie continues performing throughout the Northwest. Her newest (and first) solo CD effort “Full Circle,” released July 7 2006, includes twelve songs, eleven of them her originals all of which showcase her as a compelling vocalist and writer as well as a talented pianist in her own right. It is a work that is incontestably “Halie” with her having not only created the music but also having playing a major role in the production recording, and engineering as well.
Halie Loren may have already packed a lot of music into a relatively young life but she knows this is just the beginning of her musical journey.

Just thought I'd drop by and let you know that I have a new song for you to listen to "No More" is the first song to be released on MusicForte from the Time CD. I hope you can find time to listen to it. It is a soft guitar ballad which about the end of a relationship.
Best Wishes

Hi Halie
New song added "Man With A Gun". This is one of my personal favourites. Not for everyone! It is seriously dark. The character in this song is definately someone I wouldn't want to meet.
This is the second song from the "Where Do I Go" album, the other was "Nothing Goes As Planned"
Have a great weekend.

Almost in August and it is another lovely weekend. I have just changed from songs from "Riding On A Dark Cloud", to some of my darker songs. I hope you like them.
I am starting off with a song about poverty, no it isn't about feed the poor. It is just about the confusion an human struggle to survive. While "Riding On A Dark Cloud" the music is very 60's based this is different more synths and much darker.
I hope you drop my and give the song a listen and other songs if you have time.
Have a great weekend. |

Please check out my song Angels, which is dedicated to all the people who are forced to live on the streets, we live in a judgemental society and too often we see these people who we feel have never tried to make a better life. I was shocked to find that some of these are ex doctors, solicitors and professional people who through lifes trials have found themselves in this situation. Please spare a thought for those people less fortunate.
****************
Merry Christmas
John
