Hey guys! :D
I made a video where I show you how I like to write. The things I use most often, the writing tools I prefer, etc. :)
If there is anything I missed that you'd like to know, or any questions on your mind after watching this vid, let me know in the comments!
Hugs to you all!
Malu
Hey Guys!
Hope your February is off to a good start. :D
Here are a few updates on the latest. From today on, I will be making and posting these check-in videos weekly on Mondays.
I'd love to also film Q&A videos whenever you guys have questions for me on music, writing, Thor, etc haha. If there's something you'd like me to talk about, please leave it in the comments!
Big hug to you all.
More very soon!
Thank you,
Malu

On Twitch, whenever I mess up the beginning of a song so much I need to stop altogether and start over, I jokingly do a Jedi wave pretending to wipe out everyone's memory. Never happened.
I was watching videos from a performance in 2010 and saw one where I wish I had the Jedi Wave back then. Hehehe! Luckily the crowd was nice.
I wanted to share this live performance of Zombie by the Cranberries because it's the only time I have performed this with other people. You have heard my so...

Helloooooo! Welcome to 2018! :D
Here's the first check-in video of the year. There were a few more reward-related things I wanted to say but I got so rambly I lost track. Instead of making one super long video, I'll tell you about them in the next few check-ins. :D
Big huuuuge hug to you.
Love and thanks from Mexico,
Malu
GROUP HUG! GROUP HUG!!!!
See you soon for the last update check-in video of 2017!
Much love to you all,
Malu
I realized that when I tried to be witty in a recent post about Patreon's changes, I led some of you to believe that I had recorded this song. Oops!
Haha! So, here it is. For real.
For pledges $5 and up, check your Patreon inboxes for a download link. :D
What I love most about this song is how the lyrics seem to resonate regardless of the era. I feel it captures the essence of humanity, past, present and future. #lyricgoals
Big hug! Oooh, and a reminder that...

Hellooo!
After a week of listening to feedback from Creators and Patrons, Patreon is not changing the fees system.
Things will stay as they are! WOOOO!
Here's Jack Conte's (the CEO) blog about it, if you'd like to read more.

I hope you are having a great week. Holy crap, tomorrow's Thursday? Re...

I posted video of silent night on my main YouTube channel yesterday.
Here are a couple of things I wanted to share about the behind the scenes process. Hehehe! Hope you enjoy!

Hey guys! You've probably heard of some upcoming changes on the way Patreon pledges work. I made a video talking about it. I wish I could choose to stay in the old pledge system, but unfortunately there's no way to opt out.
___________
Here's how Patreon explains it:
With this update, creators will now take home exactly 95% of every pledge with no additional fees.
In the past, a creator’s income on Patreon varied because of processing fees every month. They could lose anywh...

Will be working on Christmas music, in case you're in the mood to start celebrating early... hahaha! :D
I have been planning to release a video for the Skyrim track "Awake" on my main YouTube channel for some time now. I wasn't sure if the idea of matching the song to the beginning footage was going to be effective or not. I confess I didn't have high hopes.
I finished the video yesterday, and I'm super happy with how it turned out! It's a simple video, but one that captures a moment that for me will always immediately bring me back to the epicness that is Skyrim. The sound of the cart and horse...

In this session, I'm finishing up the Patreon Extra Monthly song! :D Which song is it?!?!?!?!!
Ooooooh, the suspense.
;P
Sharing the latest that's been going on!
I have a project I want to try to do... An impromptu Holiday rush album, since it's almost always November. I'll explain in a bit when I go live. :D
Hope to see some of you guys there!

In 2006, I won a songwriting contest and the prize was a trip to a songwriting retreat in Ireland. The experience was incredible! First of all, I grew up dreaming of visiting Ireland where the grass is green and full of sheep. I got my wish! We stayed at an island called Inisheer.
In this retreat, there were about 15 of us and we would cowrite with different people every day. This video is of the end concert where everyone shared their favorite songs of the week. This is "So Easily", cowritten...

Hey guys,
I wanted to share some thoughts about this week, as well as thank you for your support. <3
This video ended up being very personal. If you prefer to me stick to musical updates, please don't hesitate to let me know. You can always contact me via private message. I want to be sure that the things I share here are things that you are ok with.
Much love to you all. Song and video of the month will be going out later today. <3

2017-09-18 16:20:01 +0000 UTC View PostYou guuuuys, the Office Hours stream was great!!!! Thank you so much for stopping by and hanging out as I recorded a song. I had such a great time and it was extremely helpful in encouraging me to stay focused on this one task. Something I often struggle with is distractions and this was a great way to stay focused! Thank you for the company!!!!
I checked and the video automatically stays there and is available to watch if and whenever you want to. :D

Woooo! Join me if you can. If you want to chat, remember to go to the video on the actual YouTube platform so we can read you. ;D

Hehe! Guuuys! Since Patreon finally has a private livestream function, I'm hoping we can use it to hold office hours that only you guys will have access to!
I explain it in the video, but the tl;dr is I will post a link whenever I'm going live and you can watch and chat via the private link! The vids will remain online, so you'll be able to watch later if you're not able to make it.
I'm hoping to use these 2 hour block sessions to record music. Whether the Patreon songs of the mont...
