Estella Ramirez

I want this site to primarily chronicle my singing pursuits. These are slow going because I don’t want to be just a singer. I want to be the best singer I can be with the best musical accompaniment I can muster. I want to share my gift with others, but my goal is not fame, nor is it to live on a tour bus for the greater part of every year. I’m happily married and love my house and pets, and don’t want to be torn away from that life. The thing is that I’ve learned I cannot be torn away from the happiness that music brings me, either. I want to play in intimate settings or perhaps eventually concert halls, but I want to station myself where I live now, L.A., and maybe occasionally play in my home town of Laredo, or in my favorite Texas city, Austin.

There are other parts of my identity that cannot be ignored. I’ve been vegan for 6 1/2 years now, so that decision is an integral part of everything I do: what make-up I wear, what clothes I wear, and what food I eat. I choose cruelty-free products, but I tend to choose local, whole, simple, and organic ingredients, too. If I can somehow bring information or resources to the blog, I will.

I’m also a poet and writer. I do private tutoring and substituting as part-time work. I’d like to have a steady income and contribute to my family income, but I’m quite overwhelmed about how to go about figuring out specific goals in my job search.

Finally, I like to be healthy. I train at a small-group training studio, take yoga classes, and run. This year I’d like to learn to do a handstand and run my first 5K race.

If you’re here reading this page, maybe you know me, or saw my profile somewhere or heard my songs. Maybe you’re interested in when I’m going to play next, or have a CD out. Maybe you’re just curious about what I’ve been up to. I hope that soon this will be the place to find things like that out.

Love,
Estella
