Born in 1797, Franz Schubert was an Austrian composer of the late Classical and early Romantic era. Although he lived for 31 years, he wrote some 600 lieder and nine symphonies, making him one of the most prolific composers of his lifetime.

Here is the fifth waltz from 12 Grazer Waltzer, D.924, a relatively fast piece in E Major by Schubert.

Hii my Angels !!

I am so excited to release this new Acapella because it's been a too long while since my last one (avatar - i see you) ! Ed Sheeran is such an amazing musician with a beautiful voice and he seems to be a very sweet person, this song was a pleasure to work on !
I had a lot of "help" in this one... you will understand when you see the end... ;)

I hope that you will enjoy this new Acapella piece :) these music-projects always take the time they need to be ready, but i can not explain how much i enjoy making them no matter what !!! :))

Please let me know what you think of it, i always love to get feedback from you my angels !!

Thank you so much for supporting my music my sweet ones :)

Lots of hugz and love
Julia

“I tell you before God, and as an honest man, your son is the greatest composer known to me by person and repute, he has taste and what is more the greatest skill in composition.”

- Joseph Haydn, to Mozart's father, 1785

Happy Monday!

So excited to share this cover with you. I started messing around with this song last week as somewhat of a joke, and then, to my surprise, it turned into a beautiful little piece that I absolutely loved singing. Definitely had some fun with harmonies on this one, as well :)

Thanks for your continued awesomeness! Sending happy vibes your way :)

Shaken, not stirred. :) Thanks for making this one possible my Patreon friends!

Thanks for watching the Piano Shack Live!

Thank you to my wonderfully awesome Patrons for making this vid possible!!! Thanks for watching & hope ya dig.

Hii my dear Angels !!

I can not believe that i am doing this ! or yes i can because i know me. The clock is soon to be 06:00 in the morning and i did not go to sleep yet. I made myself a promise, that i'm not allowed to go near the bed before the video is online for you guys. I am a very hard boss, non negotiable. This Saturday we do a big show at the opening of a huge culture center in town, it feels really awesome to get that chance :) 
so for the next days i will be really busy practicing and i really really wanted you guys to get the video before this.

I sit here and watch the countdown on youtube for my video. Why is it always that when we wait for something, it tend to go veery slow? ;)
I am so excited aaah !!! I feel very happy with this video, it was a mountain that i planned to climb for some years now :) This is a very big thing for me, because the artist and the song is not taken from out of the blue, this follows me back when i was a young kid.
As long as i can remember i've been having sleeping problems, insomnia i think it's called, or anxiety, problem to relax. I remember crying myself to sleep almost every night, i did not want it to be morning, i did not want to face another day in school, it gave me big pain in my belly every night and every morning.
I had my freestyle on my white bed table. From the red light on my alarm clock i could see the time pass 03:00 am very often. I used to listened to the same songs over and over, on repeat. I don't know why, i'm just like that. You know when people say that they watched the same movies like 100 times? i am literally that person. When i like something, i really like it. When something matters, it really matters to me. Well, in those headphones i would listen to Celine Dion :) 

Here it comes... I hope that you will enjoy this piece :) 

Thank you so much for your loving support, i have the most wonderful encouraging angels one can have. 

Lots of hugz and love,
Julia

A huge thank you once again to my wonderfully awesome Patreon family for making this video even remotely possible. Never could have done it without the resources you provide each month & your kind encouragement. I'm very grateful my friends. -Chris

"Little Worrier" is one of my favorites to play live with my band so I'm so happy I finally got to make a special live video with them! Hope you enjoy it :)

p.s. I'm currently on a plane to Asia :D

p.p.s. Happy Monday!!

Hope you all enjoy my take on this beautiful song. Thank you to my Patreon friends & family for fueling my efforts!

Born in 1797, Franz ‪Schubert‬ was an Austrian composer of the late Classical and early Romantic era. Although he lived for 31 years, he wrote some 600 lieder and nine symphonies, making him one of the most prolific composers of his lifetime.

Here is the sixth waltz from 12 Grazer Waltzer, D.924, a relatively fast piece in E Major by Schubert.

Hii my dear Angels !!

This is a very special video because this Acapella job was requested by the original artist :) !! I was so happy to make this project !

Like i explained in my previous message when i shared the Audio Download the other day, Moa is a singer songwriter from Sweden just like me. She had her brakethrough in 2011 when she audition for Idol with this song of hers. She made it to top 3 in the final, got signed by Universal Music and she's active with her music life in Sweden.

This was a really cool experience and i look forward to more of this kind :) !
It feels like making a special made clothing for someone ! you have the measures and the fabric, but how you cut and sew it is up to you (rhime)  :D i love it !!

I hope that you will enjoy this new Acapella piece from me :)

Thank you so much for supporting my music, you are pure love.
I want to wish you a wonderful happy weekend :) !!

Lots of Hugz and Love !!

In music, the term variation refers to a formal technique where a simple theme or idea is repeated in an altered form. Several composers have written important variations for different instruments.

Here is the seventh variation from twelve variations on La belle Francoise, K.353, by Mozart, a relatively short piece played on piano.

Born in Salzburg, Austria, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was the most celebrated child prodigy. At the age of five, he was already composing little pieces, playing them on the harpsichord to his father who wrote them down.

Maria Anna, Wolfgang's elder sister, later recorded: "In the fourth year of his age, his father, for a game as it were, began to teach him a few minuets and pieces at the clavier.... He could play it faultlessly and with the greatest delicacy, and keeping exactly in time...."

Here is Allegro in F major, K.1c, one of the first compositions by Mozart.

Here's a special backyard acoustic session of "Throw It Away" with my band! 

I'm writing you all today from a hotel room in Indonesia where I've been with my band for the last two weeks. There's so much I wish I could tell you guys right now, but just know that the band and I are all safe and we're hoping we'll get to go home sometime this week. We're pretty crushed that due to some unforeseen and uncontrollable circumstances, all but one of my Asia tour dates were cancelled, but we're trying to keep positive and stay sane until we're home again. 

Sending you all the best. Thanks so much for your ongoing support and general awesomeness. So grateful for you <3

A huge heartfelt thank you to my Patrons!

My dear & awesome patrons/members of our 2 SONGS A MONTH CLUB!!

The second song for September is... a video! :) Last time I sent a video was almost a year ago, the Solitary Man music video. But this one is my first LYRIC video!!! 

We filmed it downtown Los Angeles (and the piano part was shot in Moscow). It is directed/edited by Katya Tsyganova, who did my last 5 music videos.

We will officially release it in a few days, but for now - here it is for you.

Your support made the making of this video possible - thank you!!!!

On a personal note, SPEAK means a lot to me. When I was writing this song (with Nick, of course), I really needed a reminder to never be afraid to be myself. Which is sometimes a very scary thing to do, right? :) Life has a funny way of often slapping you in the face (figuratively speaking) and knocking you down. It is easy to feel like the whole world is against you. I try very hard to remind myself each and every day to be proud of who I am and of what I have accomplished.

Many of you have told me that you like the song's uplifting message, and I hope this lyric video will reach more people.

Thank you again to each and every one of you for being a member of our club.

Your support allows me to continue recording, touring and to have health insurance :)

In these crazy times when artists make 1/100th of a cent from a play on Spotify,

Pandora or youtube, your support is making a HUGE difference every month for me.

THANK YOU!!

A big hug, Marina :) and Nick

P.S. I always love hearing from you!!
