Thanks for visiting my website!  This summer is just flying by really fast, and as you can tell by the lack of monthly posts, it has been a busy one.  I can’t believe my daughter Jade will be ONE on August 21st!  Happy Birthday to Jade! 

Now that my recording issues have finally been resolved, I am working on more demos for my upcoming third album to hopefully be released next year.  In the meantime, I’m also working on a Lullaby CD with one of my best friends, Maryanne Johnston, who will also be singing on the CD.  It is going slowly but surely.

I just wanted to thank you for being a fan, and for continuing to buy my music online and through iTunes!  I really appreciate it :)  

Enjoy the rest of your summer!  I know I will!!

XOXO

Dahlia :)

I can’t believe how fast the year has been flying by already.  Ever since the holidays life has been a whirlwind.  My daughter Jasmine has just turned 3 this past February and my baby girl Jade is 7 months as of today!  I’ve also been busy writing new songs that will be on my new CD.  I’ve decided to wait until Fall 2011 to release it.  My baby Jade is my priority right now…babies don’t stay babies for long…and I want to cherish every moment of her “babyhood”.  I’ll never get it back.  Besides, that just gives me more time to work on my third full-length release and am even thinking about putting out a “Lullabies” CD!!  I feel good about this decision.
 
Also, my song “You’re Coming Home” has been accepted onto www.mvyradio.com’s new playlist.  Check it out!    http://mvyradio.com/local_musicafe/  
And remember, my music is also being sold on www.iTunes.com and www.cdbaby.com ! 
 
Hope everyone has a great Spring….I know I will…because that only means Summer is just around the corner!!
