It's been a minute. And while the time has passed things have changed. My end date has been moved up by a week! So I'll be back home a little sooner than expected. The holidays have passed. And things around here have changed dramatically! The other lady in my cast of performers' contract ended and she left. A new lady has come in to replace her. A lot of the shows have finished their contracts for the year. And a lot of the people who I have grown to love and depend on have gone home. The bulk of my closest friends are still here but there are a lot of ppl missing and it feels like a ghost town around here lately. One thing that's really fun about that is that you get a chance to get to know some people you may have overlooked when it was super crowded and busy. That's always fun. I've been rehearsing for another show we're having here on Jan. 20th. This time I'll be doing a few of my songs and some covers with a live band and background singers. I couldn't be more excited about that. I went to see SWV a few days ago and they are some sangin' sistahs as their name implies! They were also so cool. We got a chance to hang out with them for a little bit after the show and they welcomed us and treated us like family. It was amazing to see them just being regular people and so gracious toward us even though they didn't know us from "gus"...lol. Well, as you can see, a lot has gone on. It's been about a month or more now since I last posted. Trying to catch you up on everything would be damned near impossible. But I am in good spirits. I'm enjoying the end of my time here. and I'm looking forward to coming home! Things are great for me now and I expect them to get better and better...... Hopefully you can say the same! ..... till next time.

About Me
- La Niece McKay
- Hello, my name is La Niece McKay and I want to tell you all about me! lol. I love to sing, I love to write, I can style hair (I'm a licensed cosmetologist) and I love LOVE! I’ve been singing writing and recording r&b music for more than 10 years. I’ve also done a lot of gospel and reggae too. I was in a reggae band called Caribbean Pulse for about 5 years. We did great things and I credit that time with grooming me as an artist. We toured in our home town - California, in Europe and the Caribbean, had songs with Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley, and Tony Rebel, performed at awards shows and festivals with people like Lauryn Hill, Calypso Rose, and Sizzla and got the opportunity to shoot videos and hear our songs on the radio. We were even on the billboard charts at 26 for hot 100 singles sales and at 15 for r&b/hip-hop singles sales for our song with Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley called “Jah is my Rock”. It was an amazing experience and a family came from it. These days I record music as a solo artist while I work as a performer in Osaka, Japan.
