To whom much is given, much is required"... (Luke 12:48)

Wow! I have really discovered new meaning to the Bible saying, "To whom much is given, much is required", especially pursuing a career in the recording arts.

I am in the beginning stages, but see God's hand doing greater things. Just really excited to see where this roller coaster ride will lead.

I am excited to say that I will be releasing my debut album sometime in 2009, and since that is not too far away, I am pretty happy!

It's funny because when you are in the recording studio making music, you just pray that everything will come out the correct way. You are not sure, to be honest, how the final product will sound. When the music comes out great, however, we can all say, "Wow! How awesome is our God! He is full of surprises!"

It actually takes A LOT OF WORK to get to the point of having something worth laying down and recording. Let's see the lyrics, melodies, harmonies, instrumentals, learning new concepts, continually practicing those new concepts. I can tell you honestly, I am singing at night in my dreams and right before I eat breakfast every morning! (Hahaha!) Yes, I am devoted deeply to music. You will hear that in my new song "Expressions (That's the Way)", which I listened to today! You better believe that I was singing on a train trip (as an infant) before I even formed words with my mouth. How would I know? The mom told me about this, lol. It is deeply rooted, without a doubt. "Music makes me feel complete inside..."

I am constantly inspired by songs, musical performers, and great performances. There is this song I really love by Gospel singer Kierra "KiKi" Sheard that includes the lyrics, "...But I've got to tell you something/YOU GOT TO GO THROUGH SOMETHING/IF YOU WANT TO BE SOMETHING/Because you can't get it for nothing." I must admit, those lyrics REALLY tug at my heart and soul each time I hear that song. It is an unbeat dance song, yet it contains some of the deepest, most gripping lyrics ever (intended solely to make us realize the WORTH of an important task).

Apart from music, I enjoy great books. I LOVE poetry. There is this book I am reading now called "Don't Give Up on Your Dreams: Words to Motivate and Inspire Your Dreams". I voice blog and do online talk shows based around this book ALL THE TIME! I must have talked about it a million times, but do you know what? If you have a dream, you need something to "feed" (motivate, stimulate, and inspire) your dream, so that you will stick to it. (A.k.a. -> When times get tough, you know what you were put on this earth to do!)

Music is my "baby" FOREVER! This is my TRUE heart, my love, my joy; simply put. I want SO BADLY to tell you the name of my debut CD right now, but I have to wait until the time is right. After all, I would not even tell my mother whom I am extremely close to, love, and look to greatly for inspiration. I had a "feeling" about it, and usually when I have these "feelings" I know it is something beyond me, something greater than my own human desires. When you hear this album, though, you will say, "Wow, I did not know THAT about Arielle.. I did not realize... (you will fill in the blank)." Anyway, being real is making connection. I HIDE NOTHING EXCEPT WHEN NECESSARY. Talk again soon then? Alrighty! (Hahaha!) ;-)

Current mood: artistic
Category: Music


Hi, everyone! It seems like we are REALLY making excellent progress in the recording studio! I have new pictures of all our hard work up here for you to see (Haha, "4U2C"/Check them out here): http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewAlbums&friendID=174941702!

I just got home maybe a little over 30 minutes ago! Whew, today was quite a LOOOOOOOONG day at the studio, but it is ALWAYS FUN! I was there today since 11:35 this morning, and where I am now, it is 11:04 PM! (Say it with me "WHOA"! HAHAHA, but when you have a job to do, you have to do it!) The music is coming SO GREATLY with MANY DIFFERENT/WONDERFUL surprises just for you! I know you will enjoy listening to it as it makes you dance AND touches your heart! This is going to be FABULOUS! I can feel it!


Anyway, I am not going to make this long! I am so hungry now! My lunch break today was around 4:30! (That is PRETTY LONG to wait for lunch, but when you are in the studio brainstorming, you want to DEFINITELY keep that flow and perfect it.) Talk to you again soon! Dinner is calling, hahaha! Good night!



P.S. Special thanks to my mom who lets me know if I should add something like "bongos" to the mix, hahaha! I love you, mom! Thank God for you!

Arielle Jones on Recording the Debut Album!!


Hi, everyone! How are you? Right now, I am in the process of recording my debut album in the studio! Yay! I am super excited, and I believe you will just LOVE what you will hear from me in the coming months! The album will be available officially sometime in 2009! (No definite month or date in 2009, but at least you know the year. Since 2009 is not too far away, REJOICE because my wonderful music is coming straight to your lovely ears soon!!!)

Yes, it has been a little while since you have heard a new sound from me, and I would like to thank you for bearing with me! Thank you to those of you who have been checking on me to see how I am AND also listening to my previously released singles! God bless you SO MUCH!!

I have to admit that I have not been feeling my very best in body lately. I have had a lot going on and it can be truly draining sometimes, but I know that working my hardest for you will only get us to the goals faster. It is true that I am not a "robot machine" and need my rest just as much as anybody else, so I am making sure that I am doing EVERYTHING to be ready to lay down pure platinum for you in the studio! (You can see I have high hopes, but God has not let me down thus far... Why should I let Him down? I refuse.)

Here is a product of all my hard work for you! You will get a chance to see more by visiting my additional materials at: http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewAlbums&friendID=174941702. I am happy to share these things with you!

The photo included in this blog is my FAVORITE studio shot of me taking a quick photo before recording! It makes me feel peaceful to see this picture and know that God's hand on my life has never left! He is only getting ready to do even GREATER things with His children (that includes ALL OF US)! Amen! Are you exicted or what? Hahaha! Take care, and talk to you again soon!

An Anonymous but Beautiful Blog

I really feel like I have learned a lot over this past year and time. I learned that life can take all sorts of leaps and turns, over time, and the very thing to do about it is- LET IT GO.

I used to hear Rachael Lampa sing about "letting it go", all the time, in her song called "Outrageous" and thought, at first, "Hmm... sounds nice, but it would be even better if more people felt like they could 'let it all go' just as she sings about." Since I respect Rachael Lampa as one of my favorite recording artists, I wanted to 'let it go', too (of course, hahaha)! I later thought "This song has some real, definitive meaning... It has one of those messages that really 'tug at your heart' and won't let you go (even if you try to let it go), and MY GOSH, it is so doggone catchy, too!" Guess what happened... I found myself applying the "let it go" philosophy to my life and so many obstacles lifted away surprisingly (but I believe you already know that these "life obstacles" are really those BAD, UGLY demons in disguise, don't you? See, I KNEW you did!)

In 2007, God placed it in my heart that I would not only be writing (as I always did), but writing about more extensive experiences that I had not encountered. You know, the types of things that are SO different that they are a "life changing" different. Yes, God is good and mysterious, indeed, and saw His power working in my life tremendously in 2007 especially since I accomplished 3 major life goals:

1) I met the beautiful young lady I consider my best and closest friend in the wide world.

2) I was in AWOE Magazine's "Spirit and Soul Spotlight Artist: September 2007" at age 18 (an achievement, might I add, that many would love to have in this life but instead go off yonder to be with the Lord before anything like that actually happens).

and...

3) The Lord helped me finish the Heaven-kissed beauty "Father of My Soul", the song that moves, motivates, heals, touches, cleanes, and surely does inspire and will continue to do so. (No matter, how I tried in the past years, I could not complete it... almost as if I had extreme writer's block, but I see that everything is about timing with God. After all, why stress when "God's got your back", right?)

Now, if these are not "life changing accomplishments", tell me... WHAT IS?! It is true that everyone generally wants fame and recognition (especially from their own works), but in Heaven's rankings, it is FAR MORE VALUABLE to suffer life long burdens of deep-rooted pains and to actually COME OUT OF IT (HALLELUJAH!) than to seek any kind of anything for ourselves! Don't you know that when you work for God, you can never lose, honey? YOU GOT IT! I know you realized that one just as well!

You may be wondering, "What kind of life long pains has this young girl suffered?". I mean, it seems like I am a pretty joyful and well-rounded person, right? Truth is: NO ONE is as perfect as they seem, and EVERYONE is entitled to as many faults as snares as they chose to make! Oh, says who? Says the Bible when God gave us FREE-WILL, so it is in there! Yes, it is! What we choose to do with the given free-will is another story and completely up to us (whether we fail or succeed), but this young girly right here chooses to use her EVERYTHING for the Lord! Simply, if you thought I was "perfect", I urge you to STOP thinking that! Is it not a scientific fact that what goes up must come down? Now, how perfect is it that "object x", in actuality, falls down and shatters into bits and pieces all over the floor? (Not very perfect at all... ) Since we are a part of God's scientific world, why should we be perfect when scientific findings are not? The essence of beauty is in the flaws because we can actually learn from them. Praise God that He has shown the world, through me (His child and follower), that: .

You are NOT loved because you are "perfect", but you are perfect because you are loved! (And no, not by people, but by GOD! People can stop you from reaching all sorts of WONDERFUL progression in this lifetime and untimately from reaching Heaven, unfortunately, while God Himself will open the gate for you and say, "Welcome home, My child!", and that's just the fact of the matter here, but enough about that, hahaha! I know we are all grasping these things together now.

If you want to know about some of the many trials I have encountered in my lifetime, you can check them out here: http://awoemagazine.com/ariellejonespg1.html. Read the WHOLE interview. You will learn a lot that you did not know about me. Of course, you have to be open-minded to receive it because, yes, I am a young person but many believe that my wisdom is beyond my years (also as the magazine interview, Jen G. says). If God can use a donkey, why couldn't He use a young person? (I mean, much more... That was incredible to use an animal, but come on... Young people are PEOPLE WITH VOICES all the same, and sometimes it takes a young testimony, to move the world in positive ways. Think about it, as I do. Apparently, it's true.)

Know that though things may look and sound nice in my life, I am just a product of the King blessing me to stay alive. I could have been killed many atimes with the amount of attacks I encountered.

To close, I am working on my debut music album which will be released in 2009. I wrote EVERY ONE of the songs myself, and it will give you a sure opportunity to get a good feel of who I am even more. If you would like to find out more, I am encouraging you to check out my CD when it is out. I believe it will bless many (it blesses me and changes my life every time I hear it). It will be available for YOU very soon, too, so please stay tuned to Http://www.MySpace.com/ArielleJonesMusic.

Thank you for reading! I pray that this message blessed you as much as it blessed me to experience these topics! I thank you for stopping by! Take care, and talk to you again soon!
