I used to go to Midem, a music festival in Cannes, France.It was like the Cannes film festival except for music so I went to promote my music and also as a French translator for certain record labels. We would rent a chateau-like large home with numerous rooms and bathrooms. It was a lot of fun and I ended up meeting tons of people in the music industry.

One time a record label asked me to travel to Paris with them since I knew the town and the language. Well, against my intuition I went. The thing was, I hadn’t been eating well and I was tired….. so I fainted on the plane. What? Anyway, the flight attendant asked me if my heart was hurting and of course I misunderstood thinking (yes my heart aches to go home and see my cat). She was speaking French and I was out of it. Hahahhaha She then thought I might be having a heart attack. What? Long story short, I really realized that I needed to consistently follow my intuition and take care of myself…..another big lesson along my spiritual journey.

Fast forward, to my next band ‘North Green’ where we had some nice success. We had numerous song placements on ‘The Gilmore Girls’, a popular TV show a few years back. I really started to feel like things were coming together with my music. But it wasn’t until I started going to Agape International Center and met Rev. Michael Bernard Beckwith that life started to make sense. My music started to really take a spiritual twist and lo and behold I’m kicked out of my band. AH!! Really? Hahahahahhaa!! …..All of this to tell you that no matter what, I’m on a spiritual musical journey that is full of wonder and surprise. Once you make a commitment to spiritual growth and unfoldment some things may fall away as other things come in. It is a life filled with grace and gratitude. Sometimes I feel like a phoenix rising. I even wrote a song called ‘Phoenix Rise’. It’s available on my album ‘Churches & Prisons. much love…

Rockers,
Billy and I are proud to present music at :
the Bay Club
6833 Park Terrace
Culver City, Ca 90045

The Bay Club is an innovative facility where one can workout, eat a healthy meal, internet surf, socialize, enjoy coffee with friends and more.

We have been doing music the 2nd Wed. of every month from 5-7pm. 11-11-15 is the next one. This date is also auspicious since it’s Billy and I’s wedding anniversary!
There is usually free wine and snacks!! We’ll see you there!

We just got back from Paris and I have a whole new perspective!  I feel grateful that I am who I am and I live in Los Angeles.  While I love Paris and speaking French, I am no longer unhappy with the real me.  I think in the past, I compared myself to others wishing I was more like them.  I would see Parisians and wonder how they were so cool and I was not. Going back there after years of study made me realize I am worthy. Yay! Thanks Rev. Michael and Agape for all of the lessons on self-acceptance and expansion. More to come………..

Dear Rockers,

Well 2014 is off to an amazing start! Whoo! January is over! hahahahha  It was a start to a year I will never forget.  I will tell you that as strong as I am, I was completely devastated by the transition of my beautiful cat Maya.  15 years of friendship on this plane has been so phenomenal.  But she was ready to go.  She has given me the message of seeing beyond illusion (Maya means illusion).  She continues to bless me with dream messages of freedom.  May you also find that kind of friend!!

I’m so excited to be the musical inspiration at Agape on 2-19-14! Whooooooooo I love my home church! The community and love I experience there is sooooooooooooo awesome!  I will be doing songs off of my new EP “On Fire For Love” WHOOOOOOO x 2!

ALSO, I’m super excited to be supporting RAJ14.com.  The Raj festival will be off the hook for sure this year!  Please check out their indiegogo campaign  http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/rhythm-and-joy-festival-raj-is-rising–2/x/1035675

Big love and blessings to all of you!

So, it’s the year of the horse in Chinese horoscope. Yay! I was born during a horse year and so was Billy. I am knowing and calling on an amazing year for all of us. I am learning how to really work with the universe to bring about good things. If you read the new book “E2” by Pam Grout, she teaches energy experiments which show you that your thoughts create your reality. It’s really a lot of fun and it empowers you at the same time. I’m getting a turbo charge to my faith muscles. As I live more in the invisible energizing what I want to see in the visible, I am finding that it works. BUT, you must not ever give up on yourself or your dreams. So many times I have wanted to give up but I always remember to keep going in trust and faith. It’s also important to celebrate the little successes along the way. So, here’s to a great year NOW and for the next 365 days! May we be grateful, prosperous, faithful, and recognize everything as a blessing!

Rockers:

Today is a beautiful day of remembrance.  I definitely remember where I was on 9-11-01.   I was driving to CSUN finishing my degree in French.  I was late that morning and had not turned on any news.  I usually start my day with quiet meditation anyway.  When I arrived, students were surrounding television sets everywhere.  So many of them were watching that I had to see what it was. Honestly, I did not believe it.  It took many moments of standing there trying to figure out if what I was seeing was real.  In fact, it was.  This day affected all of us all over the world forever.  What I know is that we can all grow into more beauty, love, acceptance and unconditional love.  Most of all, I know we have all grown into more forgiveness.  I am blessed.  The world is not always what we want to see but our reaction to it is always our decision.  Today I choose love and forgiveness.  I am also so happy to be releasing my new EP which contributes to a world of joy.  “On Fire For Love” comes out this month.  To pre-order email info@andrealane.org  I will also be singing live at the RAJ festival on Friday Oct. 4 at 6pm. Let’s collectively add rhythm and joy to this world. I’m in! I’m grateful and thankful to be alive right now. www.rajfestival.com 

Rockers, I am in the middle of recording my new EP ‘On Fire For Love’ and it’s awesome!      Thank you all for supporting my on-line fund raiser to be able to do this project. YAY!

Rockers! I’ve started a campaign to raise funds for my next EP (1/2 CD)! Whoo!

It’s super exciting!  If you have a moment, look at my video which can be found atthe link below.  It’s scary to really follow your dreams. FULL OUT living is the only way Iexperience joy and freedom.  I pray that you follow your dreams also! Share with me what they are in comments below. loving you, Andrea

Rockers,

It’s so fun to sit down and breathe.  We spend our lives running around doing so many things that we don’t even remember doing them. At least, that’s my experience. When I sit and breathe into the pulse of the universe, I am connected and I feel free. It is then and only then that I write meaningful lyrics and songs. When I feel free, I realize that I can be completely un-attached to the chaos and things that go on around me. Also, I am always at choice. Yay! Cheers!  Let’s make choices that propel our lives into more joy, freedom and creativity! Join me?
