Dear World,
Welcome to the inner sanctum of a dark humored San Francisco Bay area
jazz vocalist & artist. Who knows, you may learn something or smirk
that subtle little smirk that brings a moment of pleasure to your everyday
life. Compared to the "Normal" woman in
the world, I am considered
Even with all of my outer
success the only time I ever felt safe expressing real emotions
were while I was singing. Yes folks, torch singers are bred not just born.
I spent my 20's vocal training with vocal coach's Raz Kennedy
(Bobby McFerrin Voiceorgistra),
The
Jazz School in Berkeley, CA and studied
with
David Stroud. I worked as a lead vocalist in The R&B, Funky
Americana band,
"Earl Slide Ride" with the infamous Pete Veglia - "Mo Jo Pimp Daddy of Slide
Guitar" and a ten piece soul & funk (Tower of Power)
like band called, "Soul Attraction."
We shared the stage Bryan Adams one New Years Eve at a sold out
Konocti Harbor Inn & Resort. My mother died suddenly, I
fell off the earth for a couple years. I started listening to the
blues. The blues saved my life. Searching for balance I started studying every kind of truth out there. I became an Ericksonian Hypnotherapist / NLP Master Practioner, (The Un-Conscious Mind became my serious Hobby) Director of Sales & Marketing of The NLP Institute of California and a Personal Development Consultant with Anthony Robbins & Associates for a while. I helped those who did get burned walking on hot coals during "The Fire Walk.." (As you can see, photo; age 5 - I loved to find balance and push the envelope at the same time from a pretty early age - that little silver thing is a thimble.) Born of humble blood-line yet with strong Jewish influences, I found myself turning off my television and researching ancient mystical and occult studies. I dug deep down and discovered the answers to many secrets. I started my current band with my dear friend Doug Wendt (Original guitarist from my early performing days) which is named "DANGEROUS MARTINI." Yes, there is a story about where the name came from, and all the details, MP3's & photos here... www.dangerousmartini.com
Combining all of my talents I guess you could say I am pretty good at changing
ones state. To be a great vocalist and performer, it takes being a
great trance inducer. I trust in my process, and in my Creator.
We now are in very important times. To be alive during this time and age
in this third dimensional plain is huge for our evolution and transition. I believe we are all in a trance, all of the time.
Everything IS Energy, Music, the best form of this is what we consider... LOVE.... And I believe that Music creates the Universe. I'm into all kinds of music, great food, great friends & family, home brew and creating a more beautiful, harmonious world so we as a human race can evolve - together - in peace and love. Humor seems to be a place we can all connect to easily so I've had this silly little slice of the world wide web space even before the word "Blog" was around.
Did
you turn out the way you thought you would? Somehow I have become
more like an adventurous, softly
demented, romantic,
May you enjoy what ever comes from my brain, spleen, voice, words, spirit, body, soul and heart and artistic creation of late. I love you and if your feeling lonely and possibly crazy as hell, please know you are not alone. I encourage any input, responses, wisdoms and disgusting wacky silly stuff you may want to hurl my way.
Very Truly Yours, Tré Taylor

something sweeter, deeper and unusual. I was
formally named [as read on my birth certificate] Tracy Lyn Grigonis
born on December 13, 1962 - in San Rafael, CA at 2:09am. Living in
your typical dysfunctional home, I survived my childhood non-monarch traumas by being as good as
possible. I started singing at an early age and spent many years singing
in Southern gospel choirs. I compensated for my insecurities by being "The Star".
I was the Song/cheerleader, Homecoming Queen, and a finalist in a couple
Miss America contests blah, blah, I was blonde, it was the 70's & 80's.
I became a professional model, music and psychology student, artist and
San Francisco Bay Area
The
dark is getter darker and the light is getting lighter. There is a BIG
CHANGE HAPPENING right now. We all will each have our place to be
who we choose to be, very soon. A split is coming, a BIG ONE.
It may be ugly before it gets really good, but it is more then worth it.
