For a fan who needed a little help...

"Every time you feel like people are talking about you or trying to erase a part of you and that from that hurt you lose pieces of yourself, make sure they are BIG pieces. Make sure that when they hit the floor they make the biggest tremor and when the people have stopped talking about you or stopped trying to make you feel bad, pick the pieces up and put them back on you... own them again. Add those pieces on. Keep doing it. Add more. Add strength and add focus and determination. Pride and Inspiration. Know that those pieces that you add are 100 times more decent, creative and positive than they will ever be. Your soul is in all those pieces. They are important. pieces make you one. You are not pity, you are the same as every body else and you can be honest and show how you feel. It shows such an open heart. Let it make you strong. Play the music, hear it loud and feel like you are a part of it" - Kris

Vibrations

If you sit on a beach and punch the ground you will feel a ripple travel through the sand. A vibration. It can all start from one grain. One grain can make all the difference. Except the vibration from that grain of sand will eventually stop. Within seconds. A person can carry on the legacy, the fight, the inspiration, the teachings, the belief, the soul, the energy. The point. It can ripple through everyone and everything on this planet. SO go ahead. Punch the sand. Watch it move.. and if you feel the sand you will feel the energy it creates. A grain of sand can create a vibration. Imagine what you can do. Feel it. Live it. Be it.

June Newsletter - STUDIO EDITION

JUNE 2009

Hello to JUNE!

I hope this newsletter finds you all very well. :-)

First up I would like to mention that my very talented and multi award winning debut album producer Dino Maddalone has just finished the new ROCK version of "I WISH" with Skee-Lo!!

Dino has posted the song, which he created, produced, mixed and arranged the new music for - Here it is at his myspace site: http://www.myspace.com/dinomaddalonerecordproducer so take a listen and let him know what you think of it. As soon as you hear the track you will remember the original! Pure Genius.

Last month I had a really nice and refreshing photo shoot (although I almost got bitten by a rattle snake which was scary) with my photographer Elizabeth Sloan and we've now selected several photos for you to view, but the only people that can view them right now are the MY KS members. So if you are not a member already go to my website and click on SIGN UP TO MY KS under the MY KS heading. You will then be sent a confirmation email to confirm and after you've done that you can view the photos PLUS see the comment made by Perez Hilton on my forum.. "what?" I hear you cry. Yes, Perez took a little time out to send me a comment on my forum so go take a look. I wasn't sure at first but we had it confirmed that it was. Very nice. So you never know, as he said, I might be on his 'celebrity juice sometime next year!"

I'm continuing to write for the animation Whale Magic and I've now finished my 5th song (first draft) we're all very excited here and working with the Whale Magic team has and still is awesome (fins clapping wildly)

SPONSOR - I also recently heard some exciting news that I was accepted into a program for FREE music downloads sponsored by Microsoft so please GRAB your FREE exclusive download here!! http://www.myspace.com/windows?homepage=krissearle

STUDIO: Leslie and I went into the studio with Dino on Wednesday and recorded 7 very raw unplugged acoustic tracks along with Chasing Cars and Light My Fire (our versions) I will be putting them up on my website in the next week and then showing you all my new track I WOULD GIVE YOU IT ALL. The lovely Elizabeth Sloan www.elizabethsloan.com shot some great footage of the recording so we will also be posting up that on MY KS so get going to www.krissearle.com and become a member!!


GIG ALERT - Leslie and I had a really amazing acoustic gig at the Canal Club and we got some great photos you can see in Gallery or on my Facebook Fan page.. be sure to check them out!

INSPIRED - I've been thinking about this for a long time and along with my business partner and CEO of Inspire U Records we've decided to make the compilation FREE. So we're not going to charge £299 per artist like we were asking for. I felt that it was too much to ask. I really believe that if we're truly supporting independent artists then we should be able to offer the position on the album for free, so we are. My team and I are going to be looking out for the 15 artists we want to place on the CD and then announcing them in the next couple of months. I already have 3 I found so if you feel you want to be on it or you know someone then please, as we asked before, send us the details. You can also see more here on the Facebook group: Inspired Artists http://www.facebook.com/album.php?profile=1&id=802950273#/group.php?gid=163985645087&ref=ts

FOUND - From time to time I will be mentioning a few wonderful companies I've met and I will add their banners to my newsletter. The companies I would like to mention this month are Comon Cents Clothing and SpiritGeek.

I am pleased to be working with and endorsing Comon Cents Clothing. These guys are incredibly talented and have come up with the perfect designs and characters for this time and this point in our world. Very inspiring and very creative. Please click on their banner and have a look around their fun site.

Up next is Spirit Geek. I've worked with Robert for while and I still get bowled over by the amazing amount of wisdom that comes from this man. He is very talented and if you ever need life coaching or one on one therapy then click on his banner because, let me tell you, you won't be disappointed.


Hope you enjoyed the read and until next time stay INSPIRED and stay happy!

PEACE

Light My Fire Jim Morrison

Just watched THE DOORS movie. It’s the only thing that stopped me from thinking about the pain I am in right now. I’ve really injured my back. It’s funny I have just started a cover of LIGHT MY FIRE and I was supposed to be at a music event in Hollywood tonight but I’m here in bed with a bad back and I saw the movie. Well, boy am I glad my back went bad.
That movie is incredible. When you really listen to the words of the film and what comes out of Jim Morrison’s mouth it’s hard to fit back into the “real world” when the film is over. Really hard. I mean, holy shit, did he really do all that? Did people really block him and did the world really not see what was in front of them and how it all could have changed. This was all from one man? Yes. One man.
You can see his desperation, his yearning for a new world, new people. Yes he played along but he was also in so much pain. So much turmoil. Yes he chose that but he wasn’t scared to say, “fuck you” to ordered society or “suck my cock” to the police. He knew it wasn’t real.
I salute you Jim Morrison and I wish it were easier for more of us to be like you these days. It’s so tough to air your views, to be brave, to live in the now. There is no “now” these days. Someone got hold of it and locked in a very tidy, hypo-allergic, non-gluten, no dairy, zero sugar, artificial, free of all flavour, non-fat, pre-packed, air tight container and sold it to believers that want to follow anything something tells them to. Unfortunately I became one of those people but I’m fighting hard not to be one of those. I’m fighting hard to show that it’s NOT the way it should be. You’re not supposed to be living like this. Not supposed to be working so hard to just cover your bills or being told what to do but the government. You’re NOT supposed to think a certain way or act in a particular order towards a different race. No. Your views count. You are equal. You are right. You love like everybody else and if you want to give it all up and live in some commune in the middle of no where the do it!
Don’t let people shout you down. Don’t become a person that fits into the background. Don’t let people take your soul or sell you respect to some buyer that wants to change your image or change the way you think. Stand up for what you think is right.
If you’re standing there and someone comes along and stands on your foot and you want to scream or you want to tell them to get off? Tell them to get off!! Don’t be too shy and don’t try to pull your foot from under theirs. Tell them how much it hurts and tell them that they should apologise. Have a voice.
There is a reason why Jim Morrison’s grave at the Pere Lachaise Cemetery is the only one, still now, with writings, cards, candles and gifts adorning his grave.

PEACE

Not you too...?

Hi.

It's been a while since my last update because I've been so busy getting things ready for my temporary move to Atlanta to start work with my new PR team and my band (auditions to be held in July) and I love to write blogs so here I am, once again. I love to vent out here. I guess being a writer is why and also because it acts as a creative outlet. It's good for song inspiration.

I had some sad news today that my Nan is ill with a "mass" in her stomach and I literally could not take it if Nan had "the C word" too. My Mum is beside herself with sadness as she has already lost her Dad and her husband. I can't see her lose her Mum to "C" too. It would be terrible.

I'm not saying my Nan is going to die from this but dying is a fact of life. It's going to happen to us all but for it to happen in such a traumatic way is a very hard thing to deal with. Especially when they are the heads of your family. It's worse watching it happen and seeing your parent watch their parent(s) die.

I had to watch my Dad pass away and let me tell you, that is way too traumatic to deal with. So much so, that you hide it away and then it comes back to bite you in the backside!!

It takes a while.. but to have it happen to another loved one whilst you are getting over another is something I do not want to happen. Something I do not want to see my Mum go through.

I think the songs that I've written recently are all soaked in the love for "another". The "can't live without" love. Realising it NOW when you're here, NOT when you've been given the bad news that you don't have much time left.

Life really IS too short.

I've written a song called, "I would give you it all" and it's a journey through the process of WANTING someone to love you the way you do then you coming to the point where you realise you are totally in love with them and that you would give them the world but you know that they don't love you the same way.

I think a lot of the feelings I felt when writing it were actually written with the anger I have from losing loved ones.



I haven't felt anything in my life more powerful than this. Ever.

But I often ask myself, "Not you too...?" Not you too Nan. The women that is like a Mother to me. Someone I've loved like a Mother. Someone who is so so important to my OWN Mum. I can't watch her go through this again.

Not you too....


PEACE

I’ve an exciting newsletter for you this month. I have 2 great introductions from 2 very inspiring people. First one up is, Brad Senesac and The Gemini Group. Second up is John Kennedy the founder and CEO of John Kennedy enterprises and WHALE MAGIC; A new and fantastic animation about the plight of our Whale’s and our earth. I have been confirmed to write the music and to be an associate on the score too :-)

Here is what John Kennedy had to say:
"We are thrilled to have the artistry, love and musical magic of Kris Searle as an integral part of our Whale Magic: An Ocean of Love animation project. Music is the heart of any film project and Kris has already created music for 3 songs and written the lyrics and music for another. He is not only brilliant, but a perfectionist and a pleasure to work with. He will also be working with our team on the musical score and I hope he will honour us by singing one of the songs himself! Kris must have been a dolphin in his last life because he's taken to this project like a fish in water!"

~ John J. Kennedy, Executive Director
The Whale Magic Project

Here is what Brad Senesac and The Gemini Group had to say about signing me this year:

"The Gemini Group is please to announce the addition of Kris Searle and Inspire U Records to their list of clients. After months of courting they have agreed to terms and will begin representing the artist who recently was nominated for three Los Angles Music Awards, two of which he was awarded top honors for. For more information on those accolades please check out www.krissearle.com

Gemini looks to assist in taking Searle to the next steps in his career. Spokesman for The Gemini Group Brad Senesac says "the firm looks to expand Searle and Inspire U Records to the east coast and launch a tour of the south east in several local and collegiate markets." One of the immediate projects will be to assist in the compilation CD that Searle is currently working on. The program will be to assist in finding like minded musicians to partake in the project.

The Gemini Groups other music industry clients have been DMX Music, N'Sync, American Idol Finalists and the Recoding Academy with regards to marketing, pr, promotions and sponsorships. The firm feels that adding Searle to its list of new clients could potentially add several accolades to its list as well”
