I am proud to share this amazing video with all of you!

The video was filmed on the streets of Jersey City, right outside of my home. I am happy to have found Eugene Yu, an amazing Director and Multimedia Artist who not only shared my vision for this video, but brought that vision to life.
Together with the help of Ms. Rochelle Ash, we walked around for two days through alley ways and desolate streets finding beauty in the most unusual places.
Then, we brought Chelo in to Fire Spin, and with his captivating control of the flames he put the finishing touch on this amazing project.

Gratitude to Eugene Yu, Rochelle Ash & my husband Chelo for helping me create something that I can truly be proud of.
This video is part of the Marketing Campaign for my Album "Ocean's Aphrodite" out on ITunes soon!
