Tommie's Blog..........
Blog Number Two..........A long time ago in a place faraway I had my own dream, of making music MY way, of recording it as authentically as I could, of taking the finished product to the world and asking 'how do you like me?'Lot of water under lots of bridges as they say, since then, and I just passed another few major milestones on my journey.Being Number One Blues Artist on Reverbnation for almost 3 years since my first release is incredible enough, being inducted into the USA Blues Hall of Fame is huge, enormous, being the first ever Indie Blues artist to 'open' the Jazz Network Worldwide with a month long feature I will not easily forget, having my own radio show on Womens Radio now aired on 8 other networks in the USA/UK & NZ is something that I'm proud of..............but...........Hitting the RootsMusicReport Blues Chart in the USA at #4 now with my self produced first album In The Making is a major, major milestone for me - when I look down that chart and see the calibreof the artists in there and realise I am the only non-American artist among them: this feels good.To realise that airplay put me there feels good.And..........I finally got this album on CD Baby which is another tiny milestone for me. The glowing reviews on there for my work makes me glow too! I love my music but how wonderful that others love it too.http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/tommiebrewsterThere's more!! I got my act together with my blog site on Blogger and will be using that a lot more; if you care to read yet more of my words, here's the link:http://tommiebrewster.blogspot.com/2011/06/more-milestones-on-my-yellow-brick-road.htmlLots of thanks too for all the live interviews that I've done recently - I put 3 of them on my website in case you'd really like to listen to me talk!!http://www.tommiebrewster.com/#!__interviews-of-meAnd just now big thanks to Regina Swarn Media & Entertainment for the month long feature here:http://reginaswarnweeklyfeatures.blogspot.com/2011/06/tommie-brewster-monthly-feature-story.html
Blog number one..........Two years ago, I released my first ever blues track, after hesitating for such a long time...........and what a magic journey this two years has been.I've now been number ONE blues artist nz on Reverbnation for the entire two years to date, and have charted as high as #7 amongst all those wonderful artists. Reverbnation did me the favor of featuring me twice in that time.http://www.reverbnation.com/tommiesingah I was inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame as the Ambassador for New Zealand.http://www.blueshalloffame.com/Local_Blues_Talent/Local_Blues_Talent_of_New_Zealand.html#Tommie_BrewsterI was appointed Regional Ambassador for Oceania by the charity Act Against Injustice fighting child traffickinghttp://www.act-againstinjustice.org/I started my own music discussion show on radio - on Womens Radio at their invitation - where I get the chance to talk music and life with musicians/people who inspirehttp://www.womensradio.com/users/Tommie-Brewster/328/articles.htmlI also started releasing my spoken word tracks - coming from the poetry that I have always written aside from my blues and other music -http://www.tommietalking.comThis led me to do another radio project where where I was invited to do a daily show of my music, spoken word, interviews and items about the charitable causes that matter to me - join me on Here Women Talk weekdays 12- 1pm EST http://zeusradio.com/player/hwt/And I learned how to make simple videos to put to my tracks and to my spoken word too......for examplehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yxib9ALRPl4IMRadio added me to their wall of featured artists andStarwing Radio added one of my videos to their Hall of Fame.I've been awarded the Inaugural Outstanding Artist Award 2010 by Global Thunda Network in Australiahttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dyb9JBB-QikI was the first ever Indie Blues artist to have a full page feature for a whole month and subsequent spotlights onhttp://www.thejazznetworkworldwide.com I was added to the Hall of Fame for Outstanding Artists onhttp://www.jazzemup.ning.com So many wonderful comments and compliments have come my way, but by far the best was from my friend Momo who told me that she asked for my music to be played when she went for major surgery as it made her feel at peace. What more could an artist ask?The most important things to have come out of this two years, however are the good people I've met, the friends I've made, the lessons I've learned and the MUSIC - which just keeps on coming. Every day I make music, every day a new song is asking to be let out from my heart and soul and mind and every day is full to bursting!I set off down my own yellow brick road with my dream in my hands but the dream that's coming true is far different and much more technicolor than I could ever have imagined.Music is indeed my life....................©tommiebrewster.com http://www.tommiebrewster.com
Blog Number Three.......I'm very proud indeed to be an Ambassador for the UK Charity Act Against Injusticewhich exists to fight the horror that is Trafficking and Abuse of Children worldwideand to bring awareness to everyone of the extent of this multi million dollar business resulting in the disappearance of 2.4 million children each year.I have only to think of one child in misery somewhere in the world to be inspired to do more - and more - and more - as much as I can do to help promote the charity and maybe help raise funds for their projects.Earlier this year, I released a song 'Let There Be Light' which I donated to Act Against Injustice and which I'm pleased to say has raised funds which I have specifically designated into the 'Safehouse Fund'. We are aiming to build safehouses in various places around the world, the first one in Nepal where we have helped to rescue several children from slave labor. There will be an Awareness concert on Jan 6th 2012 in New York and another larger concert is planned in the Fall forFloriday, all trying to raise funds to help fight this evil in the world today.You can download my latest single Someone Else's Problem by simply hitting the track cover pic on this page.....it is only 1$ and your gift will help immensely.......thank you.The lost children do not have a voice - so we will be the voice of the children.....
