About Millicent jobs, endorsements, awards, etc
A new, lovely Sunday afternoon, a new video for all of you. Back at Ditton Manor, the Millicent Stephenson Trio performed the legendary song ‘Fly Me To The Moon’, written by Bart Howard in 1954. Our interpretation is based on Frank Sinatra’s recording of it, which released around a decade later.
One of my dreams in music has always been to produce my own tracks. Whilst I am very thankful to the people who has supported me in that regard, for projects like my album Reflective Notes or my single Take Me To The King, I always wanted to do it myself. Last year, I finally took the critical step. For the last 15 months, I have been on a music production course for women ran by Xylo Aria. It has been brilliant!
Music has been a vehicle to express love for thousands of years. As a result, we have an extraordinary musical vocabulary to convey, or attempt to convey, what newly-weds feel. A voice who added many words to this metaphorical dictionary was Whitney Houston, including ‘Run To You’, the fourth single of the now legendary ‘The Bodyguard: Original Soundtrack Album’ (1992).
I met Jasmin Carter at a 50th birthday party for a lady called Vanessa. I was there to perform, and she, to take photos. She got some nice shots of me. What do you think?
I notice that I did not have any Christmas music on my YouTube channel, so this week I recorded Nat King Cole’s ‘The Christmas Song’, also ‘Mary’s Boy Child’, made famous by Boney M. What a great opportunity to put both my video and audio production skills to the test.
Here I explain why I can no longer have my original work on Spotify. My albums, singles and podcast will be removed in the following weeks. To listen to my music and support what I do, you can subscribe to my YouTube channel, or look for me in other streaming services like Deezer, Apple Music, etc.
If you have ever attended one of my live shows, or have watched the videos on my YouTube channel, you probably have enjoyed my music without thinking about the quality of the sound. Ironically, that is the objective, in a way.
The F-List Directory of UK Female & Gender Diverse Musicians featured me in their socials as part of the celebration of their 5th anniversary
Sleep was one of the areas of my life most affected by the changes of menopause. While I did a lot on my own, working with Pamela led me to make a real Smarter Change.
