First of all, I would like to thank you very much for your kind compliment and ask you to also convey my warmest regards to your wife.
Regarding your question: In Germany, we say, "It was in her cradle." I'm not sure if this expression translates directly into English, and frankly, it would be too simplistic anyway. The fact is, there have been talented musicians in every generation of my family. But none of them ever made it beyond the confines of their parents' home or hometown.
My father was a gifted pianist, even though he was a civil servant. For me, the path was long. I became pregnant very young by a much older man, and that almost destroyed my family. But I had the child, and this wonderful girl ultimately helped to soften and heal my parents' feelings toward me, the baby, and even her father. A little over a year later, my second daughter was born, this time planned.
I separated from her father last year, a sensible decision that still hurts me from time to time. He struggled with my frequent absences due to music and his own work-related absences. For two years, I tried to change, but it was simply impossible.
You didn't ask about this, but it's important to understand what happened next. My parents are wealthy, and so was my husband, so I had both the financial and moral support to pursue classical vocal training, supplemented by solid instruction in piano and classical guitar. I completed all of this in my mid-twenties.
Around this time, Angelica, who is ten years younger, left the family under dramatic circumstances that I don't want to discuss publicly here. Five years later, she returned deeply hurt, and with the help of my parents, myself, and a few other important people, she fought her way back to life. Over time, she developed exceptional musical skills in composing and performing.
To make a long story short: We both worked as studio musicians, producing loops and vocals, working for well-known artists, realizing commercial productions, getting to know many musicians, and benefiting from their experience. We joined the group ManuS, and after the lead singer, Stephanie Burger, left in 2014, I took over her part. ManuS evolved into 2Sisters and eventually the True Sister Band.
Since last year, I've also been known as a solo artist under the name Nuela. My father would have been proud of me, but sadly, he didn't live to see these last few years; he passed away unexpectedly in 2015.
In short, it's been a long, 20-year journey that I was only able to embark on because I was fortunate enough to be born under a lucky star. Angelica and I are deeply grateful to our parents and my husband for making this path possible for us.
Warm regards,
Manuela

This is a great song. The drive, the bassline, and the drumming are superbly arranged, mixed, and mastered. It has exceptional intensity and clarity. The choice of instruments, the plugins, and the surprising, subtle saxophone entry towards the end, as well as the ending itself, speak volumes about your professionalism.
Again: a fantastic track. Best regards, Manuela

I remember expressing my condolences to you months ago for your loss. I know how hard it is to lose your parents. I'm lucky enough to still have my mother, and since my father passed away, our relationship has become much deeper, closer, and more meaningful. And of course, I still have my sassy sister, who is also my best friend, and of course, my two precious children. I honestly don't know how I would cope if one of these dear people were no longer here. I'm sure I would struggle with it for a long time.
I also completely withdrew from Looperman for several months, deleted all my songs and even my profile, and only recently returned after much deliberation.
I read your message to Cosmo and was surprised how little we actually know about each other, despite all the years we've spent together here. It's nice to read about your experiences, even if they come from a time when I was probably just taking my first steps in music.
I've also completely withdrawn from Looperman for several months, deleted all my songs and even my profile, and only recently returned after much consideration. But your stories give me that warm, cozy feeling inside, just like when I was a child, sitting on the sofa with my father and listening to him tell stories. I really mean that. You have no idea what a precious treasure you share with us when you open up like this, even in such a short way as with Cosmo.
I hope that one day people will feel that same warmth when they hear my stories.
Warm regards,
Manuela

Good to hear a cool one from your lab after a long time!
The well-known progie sound as just you can do it ... that rockish drums from 0.40 is outstanding ... it made my rocker heartbeat ... :-)
welcome back, hope all is well with you ...
fistbump,
Danke
