So, if they can do it, I can do it, too. - Erika Jayne

Just let life be the spark
A catapult that shoots us through the dark
Raise your glass, bring a toast
To the one thing you treasure the most
Tonight the only way we go is up up
Let the music play, let's make it pop pop
DJ keep the record spinning all night non stop

New York City is such an awesome place with a lot of great artists doing great things at the top level. There was so much going on then and so much going on now. It was really ‘the’ place to go to hone your artistry. I became a member of a couple of girl groups early on and performed at a few clubs around there. But basically, I was doing any job I could just to stay alive. A lot of extra work. I was a starving artist.

You have to be willing to be ridiculed, laughed at, and mocked. You have to have people not believing in you. That makes you your own biggest cheerleader.
