Merry Christmas! I hope that you all have a blessed day. Right now I am sitting by the fire at home, enjoying the company of my family, and fixing to head over to my Grandma's house for a Christmas feast. It is such a blessing to be able to come home from Nashville to a great family who I am so thankful for each and everyday.

It is easy to forget the true meaning of Christmas among the holiday craze, but as I sit peacefully by the fire I thank God for the gift he bestowed upon us this day 2000 years ago. A baby was born in a manager, who ended up saving us of all of our sins. This is the greatest gift of all! 

My parents are calling me out the door, but before I leave, I ask that you listen to my song "His Day Has Come". It is a Christmas song that I wrote a year ago for my church's Christmas Eve service. I hope that it reminds of you of the real reason for the season!

God Bless and Merry Christmas,

Chels

Happy November to everyone, hope this month is treating you well so far! I am writing from my dorm room here at Belmont University, and continually remember how blessed I am to be in a city such as Nashville. It has been nearly 3 months since I have moved here, and it has been the most exciting months of my life. Thanksgiving break is coming up soon, and then Christmas, so I will be back home for a little while. I am going to the recording studio over the break, and hope to have some new tunes up for everyone to listen to.

Just want to make a shout out to all of the people back home who have been supporting me on my journey--CSUMC Nurture Team, my family, and friends. It is such a blessing to have a strong support group back home and know that they are praying for me. A big thank you to my mom and sister, who surprised me on my birthday about a week ago! It was so amazing to get to see them, and explore Nashville together! I could not be more thankful for the family that I have.

Anyways, start turning on your Christmas music cause its not too far away, and check out my song "His Day Has Come" to get you in the Christmas spirit. I hope you all are on the nice list this year!

God Bless,

Hey everyone,

Just keeping you all updated on what has been going on in my life lately. School is keeping me pretty busy, but I am still finding time to go to seminars, Songposium, write new material, and collaborate with some great people. I am loving every minute of being here. I can't believe it has been over a month now since I have been living here in Nashville! God has blessed me with a strong group of friends in and out of Belmont, which makes it that much easier being away from home.

My EP "Find the True Meaning" is now on iTunes, Amazon.com, and CDBaby, but you can listen to many of the songs here on the site. Don't forget to please sign the Guestbook, I would like to know you took the time to stop by and listen. I hope everyone has a great week!

God Bless,

Hey everyone,

I am just settling in at Belmont University in Nashville. Classes started on Wednesday, and lots of fun activities are coming up. It hasn't been an easy week being 13 hours away from family, but everyday is getting better and better. Even though the week has been jam packed, I still have found time to collaborate on some songs, write some songs of my own, and meet some awesome people. This is Music City, and I can't wait to see what God has in store for me. My new EP "Find the True Meaning" should be coming out soon, everything is finished in the recording studio. You can find a couple of the songs on my website, one of them is "Cupid". Well its off to classes this morning, I hope everyone has a blessed week.

God Bless,

Started recording songs I have written on the piano for a new EP yesterday, the first single that I have on the website is called "Cupid". I am very excited to be working on this project because the songs hit home for me, and I hope that they touch you in some way or form. I am currently in the process of writing more songs and just preparing to record. I hope everyone is having a great summer. Don't forget to stop by the Guestbook and leave a comment and let me know what you think about the new song "Cupid".

So today my mom, sister, and I are taking a road trip to Nashville for Belmont orientation! We leave in about an hour and just wanted to update everyone on what is going on. Its going to be an awesome trip, orientation, CMA Fest, even going to visit Graceland in Memphis. I'm sure once this week is over, I will not want to leave! I hope everyone is having a blessed week and have a great summer! :)

Now that sports has officially ended, I actually have some time to go into the recording studio. I am getting to go today to finish up on a song and hopefully start a new one! When I get them finished, I will get them up on the website as soon as possible. I hope everyone is having a blessed week, and don't forget to stop by the Guestbook and let me know that you stopped by!

Just wanted to fill everyone in on some new music that I am writing. I have written a couple more new songs and hopefully will be going to the recording studio soon, so that I can get them up on the site. Right now is a crazy time of the year since I will be graduating soon, and it seems like almost every weekend has something going on. 

Summertime is almost here! Where I am now, the grass is green and its getting warmer outside. Great time to be inspired to write music! I hope everyone is having a blessed day, and don't forget to sign in into the Guestbook to let me know you were here, and also so that I can keep you updated on what is going on with my music!

God Bless,

Graduation is coming up quickly, and that means that leaving for Belmont in the fall is coming closer and closer. The last few weeks have been crazy with softball, concerts, and banquets, and the next few weeks will be filled with last minute graduation and senior events. I have still been writing songs, and will hopefully have a few new ones up for everyone to listen to not too long from now. I appreciate everyone for coming to the site and listening to my songs, and I hope that all of you have a blessed week!

God Bless,

I received my acceptance letter from Belmont University in Nashville, TN. I applied to their songwriting degree program and got accepted!!! I am so excited about going to Belmont and pursuing my dream of becoming a professional songwriter. I love writing songs and this great opportunity will enable me to better my songwriting skills while also learning about the music business. I will also have an opportunity to intern with a music company. I am looking forward to next year and living in Nashville and starting the journey of a career in songwriting.

Texas Christian Songwriters Association started a Radio Show November 1st and my song "All I Need" has been played several times. I am also a featured artist this month with an on-air interview. The link is http://www.live365.com/stations/texascsa?site=pro.

I have been working on several songs and have recently learned the guitar which helps with writing my songs.

Hey,

Just wanted to keep everyone updated on what is going on. I am going to San Francisco next week, very excited! Also, one of my songs "Do You See Me?" was submitted to be in an independent film. I am writing a lot of new songs, so keep looking on the website because there should be some new songs coming up soon!

I am going to San Francisco, CA, to meet with a record producer from October 22-25. I am very excited about this opportunity and hope it will develop into the beginning of an arrangement to work together to produce an album in June 2010. He has worked with Barbara Streisand, Mick Jagger, and Sammy Hagar, just to name a few! It will be a great experience, keep my mom and I in your thoughts and prayers as we travel and make important decisions for the future.

I have two new songs "Lonely Road" and "Childhood Memories". I have 4 songs I have written and need to record. I am going to the recording studio on Wednesday. I worked on the songs I am singing at a wedding on September 12th. I will sing "Endless Love" during the wedding and "Amazed" and "God Bless the Broken Road" before the wedding starts. I am excited to sing at my first wedding.

I bought a new Macbook so I can learn GarageBand. I also purchased a keyboard so I can arrange my songs on the computer.  I used the money I saved from working last summer and babysitting this summer.  It was a great investment because it will help me learn how to record demos and be able to practice more without disturbing everyone by using my new headphones).  Sometimes I like to practice early in the morning when everyone is still asleep so I can now do this without everyone saying "Be Quiet, Get off the piano!" (everyone except my mom, she loves it when I practice and compose new songs!!!)

Just got back yesterday from Nasvhille. The Immerse conference was amazing. I got to meet some really big songwriters and they really inspired me to keep on doing what I do! I came back with a lot of great advice! Immerse was held on Belmont University, and it was BEAUTIFUL. I definitely know that is where I want to go! Just wanted to keep everyone updated on how things went.

God Bless,

Chelsea

Tomorrow (Tuesday July 28th) I am leaving for Nashville for the GMA Immerse Conference. Please keep me in your prayers as I meet with music industry professionals! I am very excited and look forward to being in Nashville!

Hey everyone,
This morning I did a picnic concert for the William Booth Salvation Army apartments. I sang three of my own songs, and three songs that everyone knew. In about two weeks, I am going to be in Nashville! Be looking on the site for updates, or videos of what is going on. I am going to start working on some new songs soon, I found in inspiration after going to a movie.

After many months and many changes I finally have finished "All I Need". I hope you enjoy it and get inspiration from it!

I just wanted to inform everyone about a new opportunity that I am really excited about! Instead of going to Boston for the Berklee Songwriting Camp, instead I am going to Immerse Gopsel Music Association's Artist Workshop in Nashville. Micheal W. Smith will be giving a concert there, and recording labels will also be present. I am very excited about getting to be on Belmont campus, and also being around music business professionals! Also, I am going to the recording studio today, to record a new Christian song called "All I Need"!
