    Girl, the passion and the love you have for your work is absolutely amazing. The more time you spend the more you make it better and all the effort you put in and all the hard work you do all by yourself is called the girl's power. And you're very beautiful and precious not gonna lie. I love your covers. God bless you!!! ❤🌹

    So, you are basically a one person studio. You have to know how to sing, play instruments, record audio, record video, add proper lighting, edit video, mix and master audio tracks (and so on). Must have taken many years to learn all of that ;-) And the learning process never stops.

    This is an older video, I know, but I’m only just now seeing it first the time. And all I can say is “Wow!” I’ve always known that a lot goes into making these videos, even if they can seem, for lack of better words, (and I don’t mean this in a disparaging way at all, quite the opposite in fact) effortless to the viewer. For example, videos with multiple layers of you singing (such as If I Had A Heart), that takes incredible effort, but you make it look seem less to the viewer. I would be interested in seeing and hearing more of how that process works.

    Impressed, so you got one new sub - It's more work than just playing in a cover band which I did for years until I got too old. I mixed our "demos" which was just rehearsal recordings. I bought a series of templates ie. presets for vocals, drums and bass which were easy to work with and be done. I would likely still be twisting and turning knobs else.
