mexico!

i performed some of my songs at a coffeehouse/fundraiser this past saturday. it was to benefit a mission team that’s going out to mexico city next month where they’ll be serving victims of human trafficking. super pumped to help with the event.

at the event, they were giving out copies of the 2009 trafficking in persons report, which is the official government issued report (a letter from hillary clinton and everything!) about human trafficking all over the world and each country’s initiatives to try to stop and prevent it. it’s such a thick, extensive book for something that virtually goes unnoticed, at least in the united states. it’s proof that slavery is still around and greed is super rampant. my heart really goes out to the victims, and i am really glad that there are mission teams heading out to try and serve these broken people. let’s support the effort and pray for healing and justice.

mkf gets legit press

i am completely blown away right now. i woke up from a nap. checked my bandcamp stats and noticed a crazy spike in the amount of plays. someone had embedded a track on their site and followed it to an extensive review of my music up on bandcamp. it is so ridiculously surreal for me considering i’m doing nothing to try to be found. (thanks heaps, sad panda!) so i just made a facebook page for myself and have decided to go in half full swing with this, hah.

here’s the link.

there is no command+z in real life.

i’ve been doing some hand written type this afternoon at work, pen straight to paper.. and after making a mistake, i reached for the keyboard to make the ‘undo’ keystroke. but. yeah. that didn’t work. Details »

the bocket store!

sarah bocket, a really talented friend of mine, made her craft fair debut last week at renegade la, and it was such a treat to see a stash of her amazing hand-painted pieces in the bocket booth. basically, she finds wooden objects at thrift stores and paints on them. simple concept, sure. but when you see these guys in person, wow is the only thing you can say.

make sure to check out the bocket store on etsy.

2008 – 2010 in words and illustrations

i actually filled an entire book, which rarely ever happens. it’s 1.5″ thick, quadruled, and very brown on the edges, hahah. the story is about some weird girl living in berkeley trying to find work and life post university. she moves to la after landing a job there. she meets weird lovable characters whilst surviving the streets of hollywood. that’s the jist. lots of laughing, learning, crying.. you know. drama, romance, comedy.. not so action packed, but there are musical numbers…

swooky ghost ep underway

mon and i had a mini photo shoot today for my swooky ghost ep. i wish i could share the photos, because they are just ridiculous, but i have to refrain and wait till everything is finished! same thing goes for the music — it’s all screaming to be shared, haha. but here’s a peep. keep your eyes peeled and your ears to the ground.

new york noise
