Brenton Wood songs were a BIG part of my high school soundtrack!! They are the BEST break up & make up songs a girl like me could ever NEED!! "I Think You Got Your Fools Mixed Up" & "Catch You On The Rebound" were my jams!! They have all the makings of CLASSIC OLDIES with a "I ain't trippin off you" twist that most def inspired my songwriting style!! Brenton Wood was a CALI  HOMEBOY, CPT reppin & an infamous honorary CHICANO! His songs can be heard at Lowrider Car Shows and the Art Laboe radio show around the country on any given Sunday!!

I had the honor of meeting him a few a few years back, he was as cool & OG as he looks & sounds! He gave me some of the most honest & sincere advice on my career, I will NEVER forget! 

Feliz Cumple Mr .Wood, thank you so much for writing those songs that got me through the toughest times!!!! 

What's your fav oldie?

This photo was taken on one of the VERY BEST DAYS OF MY LIFE!!! Michael called me, after a sugery I had & invited me to the set of his video for "The Way You Make Me Feel". Here's what stood out about the day, the biggest super-star in the world made me feel like the super-star. In the middle of all his hectic-ness he would come see me, take pics with me & make sure I was good between takes!! At 5 yrs old I sat & watched him shoot, take after take in this warehouse in San Pedro CA. He introduced me to everyone, his sister Latoya was there, his co-star, that beautiful girl he was SO shy to kiss Tatianna. Even at that young age I was very aware of how gracious & kind he was with EVERYONE on set. Looking back now I remember he was sooooo excited that all of the extras were real ex bloods, crips, gang members from LA. I remember him being so excited about giving them a chance to shine & a new opportunity. We sat in his trailor, I remember telling him I wanted to be a singer when I grew up & gave him pics of me from my dance recital. I remember eating w him & him being the very first vegetarian I had ever met! I was like u don't eat meat??? I was so confused!! Lol. Man writing this, thinking about this day & all the rest of the times I spent w him makes me smile!! As a lil girl I never really grasped how famous he was, honestly I think that's why he loved hanging out w me! To me & all the other kids, he was just a fun, crazy, silly guy, who sang our most favorite songs. I love him for being the most honest, pure heart I have ever known for showin me video shoots, recording studios, & concerts, up close and personal, making my dream seem possible. I was there in it, seeing it happen, he brought me into a world I would have never known existed without him. A lil girl from Van Nuys CA. I can't even begin to count the ways he changed my life. He helped create my dream. Records like Homegirlz & Sadgirl I know he would be proud of, he was always ALWAYS about giving back!! I miss him everyday & can't believe he is gone.

P.S. YES. THAT IS EMMANUAL LEWIS (WEBSTER) IN OUR PIC!!.. 

How we ever go from the very first day I met you you swept me right off my feet. 

Now we got the neighbors callin police, every night I'm losin sleep then you walk out on me.

Cuz, everyday goes by so fast, so I'm livin like its my last.

But my heart is like glass and it breaks in your hands every time that I give you a chance

Cause you're, wasting my time on a dream.

Candy, flowers, promise ring, every chikas fantasy…

I aint trippin off you, you dont mean a thing.

Why do you break my heart, tear me apart, you're slowly killin me oh…

Why do you let me fall, I aint wit it at all, you're slowly killin me.

I could'nt wait to wake up so early look forward to find somethin so true.

Nothin I wasn’t ever down to do, wanted to believe in you after all we been thru.

Cause you're like a diamond shinin bright, look so warm but you're cold as ice

I'm so tired of cryin ,Im dyin from tryin, I just wanna go and live my life

Cause you're wasting my time on a dream.

Candy, flowers ,promise ring, every chikas fantasy,

I aint trippin off you, you dont mean a thing

Why do you break my heart, tear me apart, you're slowly killin me oh

Why do you let me fall, I aint wit it at all. you're slowly killin me…..

                                                            XOXO,

                                                                  La

P.S. LISTEN TO THE FULL SONG IN MY V.I.P.....
