Drina

Everyone has some sort of musical story to tell, so here is mine... My father took me to the studio at the age of 4 to record a one song demo he had written, while I don't remember being there my Father tells me I wanted to come in and see what he was doing in the recording booth... Little did we know my curiosity would lead me into a 8 year journey to fulfill my destiny in a recording booth as well. Age 7 I was selected to have a lead role in seasonal musical at school( in North Carolina) I received a standing ovation and it was then and there I decided I should try my hand at this singing thing. Throughout school I did Talent Shows and participated in choir and orchestra,playing the viola. In college I tried my hand at Gospel Choir. I started persuing this musical journey seriously in 1998, I was in a group (N'Twyne) that consisted of myself and two others.At some point 3 became 2, as a group we performed at a few showcases, recorded a 4 song demo and won 2nd place in General Mills Regional Jingle contest for Bisquick. And you know how the story goes things come up and you split. Well I wasn't giving up so the search began to find a new partner. In 2000 I found not only a new partner but a new inspiration to improve my songwriting skills. With my new partner I recorded another 3 song demo, Our biggest performance was at Earth Link Live in Atlanta, Ga, following that was a performance at the Apollo Theater for Black History Event. Our writing skills got recognition and we were invited to attend The Atlantis Music Fest. N'Twyne was featured on a series of compliation CD's titled "Blowin up in Virginia" volumes 4-8 and topped several international internet radio stations. But again as things do tend to happen N'Twyne split and this time for good. I tried to walk away from it all, but as you know if you're meant to walk a certain path in life no matter what you try to do to avoid it you still end up back on that chosen path so here I am. Back as a solo artist currently I'm recording my Debut CD "8 years and counting.. Seein is Believin" to be complete by year end 2007. The title is self explanatory it's been 8 yrs and I'm counting on being around for at least 8 more.. And of course for those that said I would never do this seeing is definitely believing...;) Be on the lookout for music from Drina coming soon to an airwave near you.... Oh wait where am I from Carolina Baby, North Carolina born in Monroe, NC but raised and schooled in Charlotte NC. I must say that Virgina is where alot of the creativity kicked in and Virginia has been key in my journey....
