Kelly Fuller – My Second Gift (original)

Bio: My name is Kelly Fuller, I am 29 years old, and I am a single mother of two pretty cool little boys who are 7 and 2. I have been playing guitar and singing for about 19 years now. I fix computers and networks for a living.

I think those boys are lucky to have you as a mama.

Hello Kelly,

Right of the bat there's an intensity about you. That tats, pick clenched between your teeth, and a pensive pain in the crease of your brow...not-to-mention the way you almost slam your guitar down at the end...all show signs of a thick skinned woman, who's not afraid of dottin' ya' in the eye if you cross her. You look slightly dangerous...so when you moan out "My Second Gift" with the sweet ring of your guitar it makes one feel akin to your vibration. It 's a beautiful amalgam mixing sweets with salt :) My favorite trail mix tastes the very same way and I love it!

I expect that the bluesy warble that you use a lot to exaggerate your vocal is big part of your original style...maybe use it a little less so it makes a greater impact when ya' go for it. Sarah McLaughlin does that a lot, but she does it when it's necessary to drive an emotive passage home and then relaxes the listener's ear back into a soothing coo. Doing this in every line of the song becomes a bit redundant by the end of the song so perhaps try letting your passages breathe a bit more before hitting us with a fistful of passion!.

Sounds like you have your hands full with the family, the puter job, and writing songs. Geeks rule! Haha, I'm an IT nerd too. So let me ask...since you're techy...have you put together a small recording studio for yourself? All you need is a good puter, sound card, and some kind of DAW interface. Check out some of the Pro Tools Options, or Sonar if ya' want to keep it cheap. Actually ACID Pro is super easy to record through and you can make automatic loops of your guitar and voice and really start to build your songs up! Shoot me a line if you'd like some help setting up a small, affordable studio for your wonderful music!

Namaste,

Brian
