The party at the Mansion was unbelievable. We had a huge jam session with Tommy, Jason and Gilby in the Ballroom. We all sang and took turns playing piano, guitar, shakers, congas, it was a big sing along at times and everyone had a blast. The most amazing part of the night for me was at the end of the  party, when Tommy and I were sitting at the piano writing. It was a  moment we had showing each other some songs we had both been working  on. He played me a  piece of music he had just started writing. It was an honor for me to experience this with him. I never knew he played the piano and it was amazing for me to sit down and learn and play his song ideas with him. Up till this point all I knew of Tommy has been on the surface and song writing is such a personal thing, I felt like I broke through and saw a whole completely different side of him, and learned some things  about him and his thought process and his excitement for writing.

I mean this is “Tommy Lee” this was the most amazing thing for me to be able to write and play the piano with him. So after this amazing moment in time, I stayed up and worked on the song. I didn’t sleep for 2 days, it felt amazing and my thoughts just poured out of me being so inspired by everything here, and from all of this emerged something so beautiful called “Cocoon.” I can’t wait for Tommy and the guys to hear it. Tommy inspired  me, his music inspired me and this band inspires me. This opportunity is helping me be the best that I can be and for all of this I am so thankful and grateful to them.

I am so excited to perform this week! I am singing “Brown Sugar” another amazing classic Rock & Roll song by The Rolling Stones. The surprise was that whoever chose this song would get to perform it with Gilby. Last week Gilby said to me that he could see me fronting  “Supernova” for the 1st time. I’m seizing the  moment and was quite surprised not to be brawling over this one? Some  of us are still playing it safe and for me I think  they’re all crazy to not want to get up there with him. I love the song and can’t wait to share the moment with him. My sister Maris would not tell me to break a leg she would say “cripple em”-- I’m going for it!
