When I left off on Monday July 11th that the release of my debut album Actress was simply "hours aways", I had no idea that what was really hours away was the loss of my most pivotal member of my "dream team".
I had looked for approximately 10 years to find someone in the entertainment industry who was as excited about my career & believed in the success of my career as much as me. Once I found him, I lost him. His name was David Carr & he became not only my Hero in the short time(approximately 2 years) that I knew him, but he became my most valued asset.
He died suddenly on July 12th. I was waiting for him to call me back & we had made plans to get together not only to sign final paperwork re: my album, etc., but we were going to celebrate. David had said to me, "there is so much to celebrate now & what is right around the corner in the future." I had called him twice that day & sent him two emails to no avail. Needless to say, I got a phone call informing me of the tragedy late that night.
It made me realize how important it is to tell everyone that you worship, respect, & adore how much you truly love them everytime you communicate with them & as much as possible, because you never know when they might be taken from you unexpectedly.
After 18 months of recording approximately 50 songs on 4 different projects/groups, & all the blood, pain, & literal death that occured, 12 songs have been blessed to see the light of day. And, I dedicated the album to David, but I was not able to locate the dedication in the liner notes online, however it is there, somewhere.-- "I dedicate this album in loving memory to David Carr. You will always be my "rainbow"."

Do it for me, do it for David. He wanted nothing more than for this album to come out & it was this very release that he was working so hard on when he passed. I love you David, & I miss you every day. :(
