Wonderland
CD Journey
Making a CD is indeed a journey. My entire life has been a musical journey - from humming lullabies to myself as a child to performing with symphony orchestras on the most lauded stages of the world, to sitting on the floor singing “Three-cornered hat” with my nieces. Having three degrees in singing and having been a college professor of singing, I have sung the most beautiful compositions by the most brilliant composers. It is now my great honor and privilege to write my own songs - from my own heart.
Collaborators
Susan Mohini Kane is currently working on her third album of songs. This one will be comprised of her own original songs and possibly songs written by friends. I have learned that it is a great joy to compose songs with my friends. I have already worked with Nathan Alamillo, Cynthia Hart, Rich McKinney, Ella Rachel, and Kim-Char Meredith to write and/or tweak original songs. I’ve even worked with some very talented incarcerated men in the California State Men’s Prison, along with my graduate students from Cal State LA. Some of my songs come to me on my walks with Bo and others are inspired by lyrics or nature. And, of course, my sweet husband, Bernard, is always there when I try out a new song to give suggestions. This journey is certainly interesting - it is a great honor and joy for me to listen to my heart and then let it sing out loud.
My wonderful mentor and producer, Martin Stansbury, is from Cornwall, England, and is a total lifesaver for me. He not only helps me to record the tracks technically, but he also encourages me to really let loose and sing from my heart. I’m continuing to learn more and to let go more every day. The first track will most likely be released before the end of the year. My plan is to release two more singles before we release the whole album. Wow! I’m excited just telling you about it now! It seems the music world and my inner musician still have much to teach me.
