"songs remain; they last. the right song can turn an emperor into a laughingstock, can bring down dynasties. a song can last long after the events and the people in it are dust and dreams and gone. that's the power of songs". -- neil gaiman



i am jackie summers, and i write songs.



if you'd like to read the whole spiel, as well as listen to more music, go here.

the abridged version is, i write, arrange, compose, produce and play most or all of the instruments.

i used to model but i'm mostly retired now ;-)



I DO NOT SING.i have no aspirations to be a performer; i'm more than happy staying behind the scenes. i leave singing to the professionals, and i am fortunate enough to work with some ridiculously talented people, like selan, who is the male lead on the songs above, and jeni fujita, who is not only an amazing vocalist but engineers our sessions as well. if you are feeling the vocals you're hearing, go show them some love, and tell them i sent you ;-)



i've always heard finished compositions in my mind. writing songs is a lot like having imaginary friends; until you get into the studio and lay down the track, no one knows how REAL what you hear is except for you.



i want to thank you for stopping by my corner of myspace.

if you read the blog entries, i hope it made you THINK.

if you took time to listen to the music, i hope it made you FEEL.

i hope i was able to influence your day in some small way for good.
