ABOUT

~HEY, IM THE MYSTERIOUS, UNIQUE LOOKING SHADOW-GIRL IN THE BACK OR ON THE SIDE OF THE BAND, WHO PLAYS BONGOS/SHAKERS/TAMBURINE/KALIMBA TIMBALES/CONGAS/THUMB GOURDE & OTHER ETHNIC INSTRUMENTS TO PLAY.
**NOTE: I LIKE TO JAM TO FUNKY LOUNGE MUSIC, BLUEGRASS, JAZZ, LATIN BEATS, EARTH TONE MELODIES & FOLK as THE BONGO DRUM is used in Those Genres..the ASIAN GUITAR & AFRO-AMERICAN BANJO R FUN TOO=yet those 2 pieces R more 4 "SHOW."!!
IM ALSO A SONG WRITER & RECORDED A SONG I WROTE LAST FEB201 WHILE TRYING TO FIND MY VOICE:) *CheckOut: ://cdbaby/cd/breezyj & My Song is titled: REAL DEAL. U can hear a mini clip on CD Baby~
I HAVE A GOOD EAR & LEARN ETHNIC INSTRUMENTS QUICKLY. Ive been told by a past Band Brother that I AM LIKE CLAY & that is a GOOD THING bc Im NOT SET IN MY WAYS....I am VERY FLEXIBLE, EZ GOING, LAID BACK & SPIRITED. Im NOT a PERFECTIONIST bc it would drive me Nutz & I do EMBRACE FLAWS at times bc People can related to them, as ITS REAL LIFE. But "NO" Im not 1 who purposely enjoys messing up--lol;)
~I play the Percussion/Bongo Drums for the UUCSJS on certain Sundays when the Band/Chior calls for it during a Song & I also Jam with THE HAPPENING BAND=*CHECK OUT: .thehappeningmusic -Ive been their PERCUSSIONIST for THE WINTER SOLSTICE CONCERT/PLAY in Galloway, NJ for NUMEROUS Holiday Seasons & this Spring2011's PEACE VIGIL along with other Volunteer Gigs~ Ive also been playing this Summer during OPEN MIC NIGHTS at local Cafes & Eaterys with a Friend, Caesar Vescero. I rarely play Solo. But I do go to CafeUU in Gslloway NJ on the 4th Thursday of each month & will perform a Solo on My Bongos as some Folks have come up to me, saying they enjoy hearing me play without other music sometimes. So thats been an addition~ Ive also had the privilege of playing with Lead Vocalist, Sharon Sable at The LIBRARY RESTAURANT. I played My LARGE AFRICAN BONGO DRUM & SHAKERS, as I have a GREAT EAR for IMPROVISATION, YET ALSO AM A FAIRLY QUICK LEARNER-
~I have also played in several Native American Spiritual Drum Circles to promote the Power of Healing & Prayer through Drumming. Drum Circles are also a FUN WAY to get out of ONESELF & LET LOOSE for a bit. I always have enjoy the Drum Circle Gatherings & the more Spiritual Drum Circles are, the more serious they should be taken as the Group TOGETHER tries to reach a Higher Power through Several People all Drumming at once=Its AMAZING!! DRUM CIRCLES ARE VERY POWERFUL IN MANY POSITIVE WAYS AND THEY CAN ALSO BRING WONDERFUL HUMANS TOGETHER IN PEACE-
---I DONT WANNA WORK. I JUST WANNA BANG ON MY DRUMS ALL DAY---
I also use My Drums 4 SHEER STRESS RELEASE. There's just something ATTRACTIVE about those REPEATED ECHOING BANGS & THRUSTS PUSH FORTH. THE BEAUTIFUL BANG!!*#??!...

Influences

~THE VERVE. THE BRAZILIAN GIRLS. KAREN CARPENTER HAS BEEN 1 OF MY FAVOURITE INFLUENCES WITH HER SOFT, SULTRY, FLAWLESS VOICE & ONE WHO SINGS HER OWN SELF WRITTEN SONGS THAT EACH HAVE A STORY LINE & MEANING TOO THEM, WHICH I JUST LOVE BALLADS.
*(IM A PUBLISHED WRITER & POET-IF INTERESTED IN MY BOOK ITS TITLE IS: "EMBRACE IT ALL" & IT CAN BE ORDERED THROUGH MY PUBLISHER, XLIBRIS---JUST AN FYI & MY WebPage is: .JhenMVeach :)
~I BEGAN WORKING ON A MUSIC/POETRY PROJECT THIS PAST JUNE 2011 WITH MY FRIEND HAKIM AT HIS RECORDING STUDIO-(E21). IF U KNOW OF OR ARE WILLING TO CHECK OUT VANESSA DAOU, YOU WILL GET AN IDEA OF WHAT MY CD ALREADY TITLED, "MAKE LOVE NOT WAR by: BreezyJ," WILL BE IN RELATION TO. THE 1ST POETIC-SONG ON MY CD THAT WILL BE OUT THIS FALL SEASON 2011 IS TITLED "UNTAIMED RAIN." MY FRIEND MIXED THE PERFECT MUSIC TOGETHER WITH THE RIGHT NATURAL SOUNDS FOR THE MOMENTS OF POETRY THAT IT REQUIRED & HE MADE IT VERY PEACEFUL, PLAYFUL & SOULFULLY SEXY. THE SONGS & THE MUSIC ARE QUITE EXCITING, VERY RELAXING & EROTICALLY LOUNGEFUL ALONG WITH MYSELF READING MY ORIGINAL, EXOTIC POETRY WITH A SENSUAL, SULTRY & PASSIONATE VOICE. IVE BEEN TOLD BY THOSE WHO HAVE HEARD "UNTAIMED RAIN" & A FEW OTHERS THAT "THE SONGS MAKES THEM WANT TO GET NAKED & BECOME INTIMATE WITH THE ONE THEY LOVE, AS WHEN THEY LISTEN TO MY STYLE OF MUSIC THEY CAN VISUALIZE & SEE EVERYTHING THAT IS TAKING PLACE IN EACH SONG AS I AM DIRECTLY OUT SPOKEN WITH TASTEFULLY PLEASURABLE WORDS OF TRUTH & PLAYFULNESS. MY LATIN PALS SAY "MOI CALIENTE MAMMI" & WE ALL KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS...HOT. HOT. HOT!!
