Hey beautiful Free World!
It's been a while since I've written and lots has been going on! Through most of the summer, I've been recording my debut album in London and preparing for the upcoming concerts. I opened for talented British singer/songwriter, James Morrison, at the end of July which was very cool. I played to my largest crowd to date, which was around 15,000 people. I didn't have too much time to sit and address my nerves (which I've managed to bring under good control, especially over the last years of performing) - my crew were simply like "Ana, 5 minutes to go", and I was still rushing to make sure everything was in order! Before I knew it, I was out there opening my set with my beautiful fans. I literally cannot put into words how it makes me feel when I play with you all, when you're there so close to me, dancing and singing - it makes me believe that massive mountains can really be moved, broken hearts and souls can be healed and time can actually stop for a few moments. Thank you so much for being my inspiration every single day to continue, persevere, and never give up. Your messages, your shoulders to lean on, your kind words of love are priceless. I profoundly hope that in some way or another, my music and my journeys have given back to you, all that you give and have given me. Anyway, thought I'd tell you that :-p
