Where am I?

I'm Right Here! Still creating, Still living a beautiful mess, Still having lots to say xo gilli moon

May 07, 2024

This is gilli moon. It’s been sooooo long since I sent out a newsletter about my music and creativity. I’ve been busy, yes indeed. But my creativity took 2nd stage. Maybe even 4th… But I am excited to share what’s going on with me.

First: I’ve just changed my email list, blog site and newsletter to Substack. It’s refreshing to have it all in one place.

I haven’t been performing much. Actually at all. There’s a multitude of reasons, but let me say that pandemic, motherhood, and my desire to boycott less than minimum wage compensation for playing in venues, makes my taste for performing in a divy bar lack lustre. But I’ve been hugely creative.

Did you miss my launch of my double album ‘beautiful mess’?

Read all about it here

Not just one, but EPIC two volumes - written, performed and produced by yours truly, with select featured artists, writers and co-producers, beautiful mess includes 12 songs each volume - that’s 24 total songs, + 4 feisty covers done ‘my way’. It’s my first album in 10 years. This album speaks to the heart and soul of all self-empowered women, and men who love women, who see their lives and careers mixed with parenthood as messy yet amazing, in all of its beautiful ways. Having twins and 2 babies was quite a challenge, and some of the songs will share not only the emotions of being a new mother, but also the struggle of actually conceiving. I also went through quite a journey also with my entrepreneurial pursuits, and the music business in the last 10 years, with all its flaws. beautiful mess shares all my emotions, good, bad, sad, happy, beautiful and messy, all on display, and all at once. I throw my songs at you like I paint on a canvas. We hope my sonic textures stick in your ears, hearts and mind.
