March 16: And the good news keeps coming in!  The Lys Blues Awards Nominees have been announced. For the 4th year in a row, I have been nominated in the category of "Female Blues Artist"...and BAD TABOO is on the list of "Best Blues & Associated Styles"!  As well, we will be performing at the Awards Gala. Quite exciting and the month isn't over yet!

March 8:  International Women's Day.  Just got some AMAZING news!  I am flabbergasted, speechless to find out that I've won the award for the North American Filipino Star's (newspaper), 2015 Filipino-Canadian Artist Award!!!  Apparently, amongst the nominees received, I was voted unanimously as one of the recipients the award in recognition of Filipino-Canadian artists who demonstrated excellence in arts, creative cultural leadership and service to the community. Hmmm...and to think, I am not active in the Filipino-Canadian community at all. Award night will be happening on April 4. Feeling really good and humbled that my small contributions are deemed worthy as most of my days are "head down, bulldoze, get it done and move on" type of days. Long live the Blues and service to ALL communities!
