Up Top
Padruna is one of the best singers and songwriters I have come across. She crosses genres as easily as I cross the street.
Her first album, ” Up Top” releases the first part of 2015.
Listen to this beautiful original song she wrote, “My Wish” here. www.reverbnation.com/padruna
Totally “jazzed about this” Congratulations Bob!
The album is out on all electronic retailers and CD is available on www.cdbaby.com/bobmundy.
This is one of the finest jazz vocal recordings I have ever had the privilege to be a part of. Impeccable in every way.
Live show October 29, 2014 at the Laurie Beechman theater in NYC. See video for details.
Padruna’s “Comfortably Numb” has been submitted for the first round of Grammy Nominations. Here it at www.padruna.com and more.
I will keep you posted as we go.
Padruna is my newest artist on Grant Taylor Record Company label. Watch for her worldwide release of “Comfortably Numb”.
The artist must follow their own inner compass. Their creations are theirs and not subject to fads or trends in music. Authentic expression is what we all long for and the artist that does this, will be peaceful and clear about their music.
Once again, music is front and center at the inaugural event today. Music is the world language. All people from every country can relate to each other with music. It transcends boundaries and cultures and speaks to all of our hearts.
Artists tend to have deep feelings about the world and their lives. They use those feelings in their compositions and performance. The beauty of this is a unique representation to the world that is not like any other artist. Their dreams fuel their work and give it subtle nuances that make it work for them.
I focus on helping the artist use these feelings and dreams in their work. We work together to bring out their uniqueness and their essential personhood. We all have artists that we love and there is something about them that resonates with an audience. Not everyone likes one artist. It is like every other art form. If the singer speaks to you, so be it.
Many artists think that they must appeal to everyone but that negates what they bring to their work that is unique. They will find an audience that likes what they have to say. That is why there are so many different styles of music for the world to enjoy.
Be yourself, be authentic and do your work from there.
Technology has given you great tools to learn music composition, singing, video production and more. Use these tools to raise your profile in the world. You don’t need to conquer the world your first time out. Just learn everything you can about being a good singer, performer and musician. Then start small and build your audience as you go. Be yourself and remember you are there to entertain the audience as a unique artist.
