News For Aliah Selah

ALIAH SELAH is a free spirit -
a singer/songwriter and interdisciplinary performer
who continues to touch people deeply with her songs,
TV shows, live shows, and stand-up comedy
about being a Rockaholix - Rockin' 4 Peace.

What began as a wonderful West Coast Shades Of Images Promotional Tour from Austin, Texas
became a longer stay in Southern California to follow through on some amazing opportunities.
Currently, Aliah is following through on some opportunities in Northern California
and has now re-located in Santa Cruz, CA.

THIS JUST IN:

NOV. 16th 2011 - Aliah played a solo set at Esalen on the patio as the sun set over the ocean.
Many came up to say that it was a totally awesome experience for them.

Also, during a poetry reading at Esalen... Aliah offered her song lyrics as poems and then she sang acapella and got the whole "bar" singing the chorus of one of her songs that she claims is her philosophy of life... "See it Free It Be it, Love!"

The lyrics are:"Enjoy the dance, live the dream, see a shared vision in everything... see it, free it, be it, love."

Playing at Esalen has lead to an upcoming gig
the first weekend of December in Santa Barbara.

EMAIL US - if you would like to know where it is and if perhaps there's a gig you know of that would be great for a Heart Felt Funky/Jazzy Tunes that uplift & inspire? Let us know about it.
Aliah is now taking out the songs for her new CD: IN LIGHT OF NOW - while she prepares to record them.

The title track "Shade of Images" has just been selected to showcase on the Longe Media Conference CD 2011

This expo features up and coming artists from most genres to appear in showcase to a wide variety of entrepreneurs and attendees from the Business, Fashion, and Music industries. Aliah was one of the 3 selected Sonicbids artists to be on this compilation CD that will be handed out during the conference on October 29, 2011.

A very inspiring book by David Crosby & David Bender -
The Dramatic Story of the Artists and Events that changed America.

ABOUT THE HEROIC OCCUPY MOVEMENT AROUND THE WORLD....

On United Nations Day Aliah took over a copy of the United Nations Human Rights Peace Declaration to Occupy Santa Cruz and plans to video tape their comments for her film cocreating.us. She is totally moved with the conviction they have to shift the unfair opportunities in the US if not the world. It is such a gift they are giving everyone as they continue to offer thier lives to the cause of shifting the energy that so needs to be shifted - to KINDNESS.

Everyone who is involved in the Ocuppy movement are Aliah's heroes.
Yet it is very important that we see it as a HUMAN RIGHTS FOCUS -
not Capitalism vs. Anarchy.

Aliah's main message:

RAISING EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE
CAN & WILL SAVE OUR PLANET -

OUR
EVOLUTION
IS BEING
EMPATHIZED!!!

added his emu guitar over dubs and her vocals -
all magically done in one takes as well.
And when she was advised that such a song did not belong on an AAA CD -
Aliah put it first - as an atmospheric opening setting the vibe for
her next CD Shades of Images.

DJ's liked the song - they just didn't know where it fit.
They said it was in the style of "Alternative Jazz"
but that there was nothing out there like it in "Alternative Jazz"...

Words Of Wisdom

The advent of the printing press may have shifted the focus from oral poetry to written poetry, but the talented Broadjam artists who perform spoken word remind us that the oral tradition holds a significant place in creative communication.

First, check out Aliah Selah's song "Little Shelf" for a unique mix of spoken word and singing. The voice matches extremely well with the instrumentation and beat of the piece. The sensual vocals and the abstract theme contribute to the mysterious tone of the song.

Then later added this quote.

“Very seductive vocals, meshing well with the underlying guitar and percussion work. Nice lyrical approach as well. The vocal work here would shine with electronica backing as well. This is undoubtedly above the edge here!”

THE NEW CD - IN LIGHT OF NOW:

Aliah was planning to call
her next CD: Wildflowers

Then, Sheryl Crow did...
someone Aliah has met & admires
and she began looking for a
new title for her next CD ever since.

Aliah says, "Sheryl's Wildflowers CD is wonderful -
she is continuing to write really touching songs that ring
of insightful honesty - down there in songwriter heaven (Nashville).
Judy Collins had a Wildflowers CD in the 60's too-
remember her hauntingly beautiful voice?
They are both free spirits who offer the wildchild spirit -
kindly to a world who needs more of that."

And as Aliah offered blessings to both Judy & Sheryl -
and the whole idea of the Wildflowers CD title -
a new song came... and then she found a song that she loved
everything but the title on.
She sang IN LIGHT OF NOW instead and it worked perfectly.
Like it was all planned for the moment when it came.
Now it is the title track for the new CD - a movin' on song - called:
In Light Of Now.

Then, she organized all her songs into
4 CD's with different shades of rock... & themes
that connect with 4 film projects she is in development with.

was mixed at Gagetbox Studios
in Santa Cruz, CA and was released 10/10/10 - Aliah did a sound healing on a fellow healer friend for the release party to the new CD.. it was a series of perfect moments with the mix.

It felt right to do the final tracks and mixing with Andy Zenczak - of Gagetbox Studios who has produced over 250 CD's in the Santa Cruz area - because he was experienced and had an amazing studio... yet In addition to being one of the most awesome recording studios in the Bay Area - Andy remembered that Paz & Aliah had jammed together with him in Austin.. many years ago - and Andy actually knew some of the players on the CD and had heard some of the early mixes of it when he watched their TV shows in Austin.
So when they all got together.. there were lots of laughs and it felt like coming home.
