The Power of Emotion Centered Singing
Where the 'Singer' evolves into the 'Artist' like Picasso or Michaelangelo except in the musical sense. This is the power of Emotion Centered Singing...The power to unleash the kind of genius that has produced artists of the calibre of Jeff Buckley, Norah Jones, Elvis Presley and Eva Cassidy.David Jaanz, Founder
