I'm a 21 year old with a blue guitar.

Rambling and reaction videos (non-music) now relegated to my new channel: ReinaDelCidTalk
About Me:
 
Feel free to add me on Facebook.

So here are the answers to some commonly asked questions:

1. I live in a great city belonging to the United States.

2. I've been playing guitar since I was around 15 but haven't had much formal instruction.

3. I do not currently have a CD out but hope to obtain a record contract someday. I certainly intend to notify those on YT and on MySpace who wish to "keep tabs on me" when/if I do eventually record an album.

4. Often I'm asked something to the effect of, "Do your original songs relate directly to you and your experiences?" This is a great question. Some of them do, but many of them do not. I usually won't discuss in detail real life events that are the basis for my songs so as to effectively allow room for interpretation by listeners (which is ultimately the most important thing, right?).

5. I do have a MySpace, and I probably want you as a friend. The link to my MySpace is down toward the bottom of this box. On my MySpace you'll occasionally find songs that I haven't yet recorded for YouTube.

6. "Reina" is pronounced "RAY-nuh." (Unless you're a Spanish speaker - then it's more like "RRRRRAY-EE-nuh.")

7. A question I received often in many different forms is something to the effect of, "Why have you neglected to respond to my comment[s] and/or private message[s]?" I simply can't respond to every comment and message, or else I would become a spasming growth on the toe of YouTube and never leave my computer. I appreciate all constructive feedback and read everything I receive, but I regret that I don't always have time to reply.

And finally, thanks to all you amazing commenters, raters, subscribers, and silent viewers... support from strangers is really a phenomenal thing.

Covers I've posted:

Love your music style thought provocking lyrics and melodic voice keep up the great work oh ever thought of covering eddie vedders song, Society i think it would be a good fit for your style

God Sent!!

Do you know why you are so good? I can think of 4 reasons:

1) there's intelligence embedded in your songs
2) there's contrast in your lyrics (eg. "tattered body of your couch" juxtaposed with "solar system's only star") - brilliant!
2) you are very articulate
3) you sing in a syllabic fashion

You should have been discovered a long time ago. And if no one comes forward within the year, I'll take all my savings and pour it into your first CD. What do you think?

Congratulations Reina on 17,001 subscribers! "Come Back Over" was the first song I heard you sing and I'm glad you are highlighting it. I knew then that you were special....I so love being correct! I have enjoyed every one of your videos and I'm always grateful when you post a new one. I could go on, but to save face I'll stop ;).

Wonder is an awesome song, but I think Poetic Genius is slightly better, but not by much... it could just be because it's newer. I love all her songs (except the elvis one though, I don't like elvis).
