Perez Hilton Cover Competition – Adele, Someone Like You

Posted on September 26, 2011 | 2 Comments

Alright here’s a new video for everyone. Perez Hilton is holding another cover competition and this one is for one of my favorite songs off Adele’s sophomore album, 21, Someone Like You. I decided not to change it up too much. The song is just so beautiful on its own. I hope you like it. :)

Ellie Goulding & The Boom Blasters – New Music!

Posted on August 10, 2011 | Leave a comment

The summer is flying by and I’ve been busy having fun with different types of music and artists. Side note – it is hatch chili season (finally) and I’m definitely due for a food post soon so send me your ideas for hatch recipes so I can get to cooking!

I recently recorded a cover of Guns and Horses from one of my favorite artists, Ellie Goulding. The fabulous Jon C from the band Intake helped me out with his guitar and vocal skills so check it out!

Ellie Goulding – Guns and Horses (Cover) Sarah Sellers & Jon C

On the opposite end of the music spectrum…I’ve been recording some fun pop tunes with producer and songwriter, Ben C Jones. I love writing and playing my own music, but every once in a while it’s fun to step outside the norm and have a little fun. Sometimes I feel like music is taken a little too seriously, so with that, here is a sample of my electro-pop side (any takers on some alter-ego pop names…let me know). :)

The Hartman House:

Hartman House is a certified 501(c)3 non profit organization founded in 2005 by Butch and Julieann Hartman of West Hills, California. Hartman House was started because the Hartman family wanted to make a difference in the world. Although the organization is based in California, its philanthropies extend all across the U.S. and into some of the most hard to reach countries in the world. From Haiti to downtown Los Angeles, Hartman House does its best to lend a helping hand to those who need it most. The Hartman’s goal is a simple one: to provide financial and spiritual support to people and organizations across the world who are in need of assistance.

This wonderful organization asked me to participate in Help the States: BamaJam 2011. A charity event created to raise $10,000 for care packages to family’s who have been affected by the tornadoes in the south. The emergency packages will include: Gift cards, toilet paper, all toiletries, flashlights, batteries, crayons, coloring books, power bars, granola bars, pedialyte, crystal light, gatorade, baby bottles, pacifiers, and small tarps for shelter.

The Hartman House has asked some amazing YouTube artists to join together and create a viral, charity event to help reach their $10k goal and beyond. So please help me out by viewing my video, sharing, tweeting, Facebooking, and most importantly, making a donation! Every little bit counts!!!

Posted on July 12, 2011 | 2 Comments

As always, things have been crazy and my absentee food posts only means one thing…I have been 100% entrenched in my music.

So in my music haze I’ve been listening to a lot of music and here are a few of my current favorites.

Who are you listening to? Give me some suggestions…I love being introduced to new artists (old or new)!!!

Erykah Badu – New Amerykah Pt. 2

Posted on May 6, 2010 | Leave a comment

As a fellow Dallasite I’ve definitely heard an ear full of Erykah Badu since the release of her “Window Seat” video last month. The news has been full of likes and dislikes for Ms. Badu’s controversial video shoot.

If you aren’t aware of her most recent escapade, she did a gorilla style shoot for her latest single by walking the streets of downtown Dallas, slowly stripping down to her birthday suit. Once she reached the famed Dealey Plaza she was completely in the buff and “shot” to the ground in front of quite a few bystanders. In the conservative world of the south this translated into two major outcries. First, she got naked in front of a crowd of people that included some small children, and second, she portrayed herself being shot in the same spot JFK’s life was ended. Everyone has heard plenty of opinions on this, so I’ll get down to my own personal opinion on what really matters…the phenomenal piece of music that is New Amerykah Pt. 2.

The Theatrics of Pop Music

Posted on April 25, 2010 | 1 Comment

From Lady Gaga and her wicked scorched piano, to Pink and her flying trapeze in the sky, pop music is pushing the limits beyond racy midriffs and girl on girl pecks (channel Madonna, Britney, & Christina). A 16 year old Britney Spears in today’s industry wouldn’t even make your grandmother blush.

Every generation defines their own pop music. The world of millennial pop, once filled with fresh faced tartlets ready to take on the world, has been replaced with Billy Idol’s long lost children and Cher’s pant less protégés. Shocking, maybe not, but watching today’s popular music feels like watching a musical theater production on copious amounts of Rock Star and crack.
