I am not a typical jazz songwriter and not a typical new thought songwriter. My piano teacher several years ago called my tunes 'jazz influenced art songs'. That is what they are. I later added 'with a spiritual perspective'. I am really interested in writing tunes about evolution of consciousness, healing, awareness, and nature. If I can put them in a hip jazz setting, so much the better. I sang classical art song for 4 years at university and the form and sensibility has stayed with me all these years, but we've just moved into jazz sonorities.

Just recently signed on and wanted to welcome you to my page. Feel free to leave a note. I will be updating my page soon and adding to the blog.

Lee Robert grew up in the Sonoran desert of the Southwest in Phoenix, AZ in the 1950’s. Three-part harmony became a part of her child’s-play as she, her twin sister, and older brother performed regularly for family and friends. She wrote her first song at 12 years old and started her professional career at 14 years old performing in the coffee houses of the 60’s. Over the next three decades she worked as “Lee Robert and Friends” regularly inviting other musicians to join her in a variety of alliances, venues, and musical styles.

In April of 2009 I had a great opportunity to film a music video in Virginia Beach. Students from Regent University Film Department approached me about producing a music video for my song More Than You Know, from my Fearless CD.

A crew of 20+ (including dancers, actors, makeup, special effects & camera crew) put their love and expertise into this project. It has truly been an adventure for me-- both humbling and exhilarating.

The video has been released and you can view it by clicking on the link below.

I'm sitting here in Bali, Indonesia, in the last couple of days of my month long writing and meditation retreat/escape, which I do insist is not a holiday, though it has been very pleasant. I'll be back home in California next week.

Dear Friends and Family,

2Suite has been working hard writing and recording for the past 6 months and is pleased to announce our second release in the iTunes store. The Heart Of New Orleans will be available in the iTunes store the first week of Feb. Also we have many new songs on our cbc radio 3 website along with our finished video. We hope you have a chance to check it out.

I have written songs as a hobby off and on for years.
I enjoy some poetry however i find music gives poetry personality.

My dream would be to write inspiring songs for a Living.
I now have a song that i would love to share.
It is entitled "Let Spirit Flow"(not yet copyrighted)

Also, even tho i write the songs along with a tune, singing and playing an instrument are not gifts that i possess (for now).

If you are a singer and/or producer and would like to know more please feel free to contact me.

Blessings,

Herb

With the arrival of the New Year, many of us are making resolutions. It's a tradition that goes back to the Roman King, Janus. This mythical god king was said to have been two faced, able to look into the past and the future simultaneously.  He was known as the god of beginnings and, it's from him that we get the name January.
The first day of January  appeals to many as the start of a new year; a chance to begin fresh. The problem is, so many of us set ourselves up for failure with lofty resolutions that we give up on after a little bit of turbulance.
