Presenting my March YouTube Cover! This is "Opera No.2" by the amazing Vitas.

I had a lot of fun recording it and I hope you enjoy my metal rendition of this gem. Please excuse my Russian, this is the first time I've ever attempted a song in this language! If you enjoyed what you hear, don't forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel and follow me in my social media. Hope you enjoy it! x 

(Now I cannot stop thinking about what other interesting songs that we can re-arrange to metal...) 

Vocal(s): Bernice Nikki
Guitars, Drums, Bass, Orchestra: Alexander Lexy

After a lot of procrastinating session due to endless teaching and directing work, I've finally finished shooting the video for my next cover last night!
​

Featuring the amazing guitars by Blodwen's own Alexander Lexy, I have decided to cover something a little bit more challenging: "Opera no. 2" by the Russian sensation, Vitas.

And I'm finally back with another cover! This time I am revisiting one of my favorite anime from my adolescent years: Cowboy Bebop.

When we were working on the song, L mentioned that this song doesn't sound like your typical Japanese song and I do agree. Mai Yamane has a raw quality to her voice which is quite rare among Japanese singers - and the first time I heard her, I was taken aback by how "gender neutral" her voice was. I loved it. 

This Valentine's day has been filled with nothing but rain and grey skies, so here's my Blues Valentine's gift for you x

...and without realizing it, we have gone past a whole month of January in 2017. Time feels like it's going faster every year, doesn't it.

...or maybe it's because I'm getting older? Hmm.

These past 2 months have been filled with family reunion, drinking and (still) working. I had to compile ideas and work on a script that I will be staging with JICC for our November show. Can't wait to share about that!

Because of all the events happening (and me procrastinating, let's be honest) the bi-monthly project has been delayed but I have (finally) shot the video last night and currently working on final process of editing with Lexy. This time I am revisiting one of my all-time favorite anime OST: the legendary Cowboy Bebop.
