Vehicle of Connection Through Our Personal Domain


The wonderful world of the web gives us an amazing opportunity to connect with our fans through our personal domain and proper branding is essential in how we want to be seen in the world.  I’ve had websites for 7 years now started with my production company website: www.fenstarproductions.com and then 2 years ago created my book website: www.ignitethelight.ca and then last year co-created a website for another production: www.paulwedspriya.com   My music website is my fourth website creation and by far the one I love the most.   When my designer and I discussed how we wanted to brand this website back in October of 2011 we wanted to make sure that it encompassed all the things that I do but still keep it specific to my music.  As an actor and playwright I’ve kept my birth name Fenulla but with my music I’ve branded it to FenSTAR and now I’ve included my pitch directly on my website: 
I was waiting to give my free gift of a song after the official launch on Friday Feb 3rd of my remix track.  My next venture in March/April after this course is to start my blogging with my fans, as for now the blogging will be with all my fellow challengers.  Other than the fan blogging and still updating my media articles and links to my press I’m so thrilled with the way my website turned out.  It includes my music video that I shot in October 2011, the highlights video from my concert debut of the album, sample tracks from my album.   Here’s my website: www.fenulla.com
Would love for you to all receive the gift of a free download of the remix track to my single debut Masterpiece. http://www.fenulla.com/masterpiece.shtml
I'll be offering more free gifts in the future

Now I’m off to catch up on week 4 while I sit here with my mom at the hospital (she just had surgery and thankfully it went well).  I'm behind on the blogging, reading all your blogs as this has been an incredibly insane time for me but such a blessed one as well, many amazing things happened and goals achieved....for my acting career I exceeded my goals, I booked two commercials, one for WalMart and the other for Frito Lays.  Now my next goal is to book a role in a Tv-series or in a movie.  On the music front, another dream came true when I performed at Anokhi Magazine's 9th Anniversary Gala event, walked the red carpet, had many media interviews and was chosen in their Sexy & Successful list as one of the top South Asian's around the globe.  I'm still in bliss from that evening!  

It's wonderful to be among all of you... such a lovely group of talented singer/songwriters!
Abundant Blessings everyone on all your weekly endeavors!
In love & light,
FenSTAR

FenSTAR in a nutshell!


Week 1 of the challenge my friend’s father passed away, week 2 of the challenge my friend’s mother passed away.   I have spent much time in prayer for the departed souls to ascend into eternal peace and for the loved ones left behind to have the strength & courage to carry on.  It’s been an emotional roller coaster but also a significant time of reflection & contemplation.  I joined soundcloud today and posted a track from my full album in dedication, honour and gratitude of the departed souls. http://soundcloud.com/fenstar-1


Week 2 of the challenge…. knowing that my mission, my soul’s purpose on this earth is to share this music with the world I delved into the depths of what a ‘pitch’ meant and the impact it has to help me to get the music out there.   When I looked at the pitch being my unique selling point I immediately thought, ‘great that’s easy’ as I know why I created this unique niche music and the impact it’s lyrics will have on the listeners, but the challenge for me became the question, does it really need to say who I sound like?  I understand that it helps people to make an association to voice and sound but my album was Divinely inspired, each lyric, sound was carefully chosen to serve humanity.  So here goes:




"FenSTAR brings light into darkness through her angelic sounds, soulful lyrics, transcending beats and is enchanting in her debut album DIVINITY as she mixes many genres of music; pop, dance, R&B, jazz, with a distinctive ethereal flare."

Here’s a link to my full album on iTunes, let me know if you feel it matches my pitch:
(if you have a few moments kindly write a review)

You can also visit my website to view my videos as well: www.fenulla.com

I humbly thank you for taking the time to read week two’s blog!

Abundant blessings everyone as we plunge into week 3!

"All the World's a Stage..."

Every year on the eve of New Years, December 31st my hubby and I always go for a beautiful intimate dinner and I bring along my pink notebook.   While we eat dinner we reflect on the year ending, all the joys of the past year as it’s broken down by categories; career, travel, health & personal and we celebrate all the amazing things we were blessed with.  We then welcome and embrace the coming of the New Year by writing down all our goals in those same categories for the upcoming year.  We don’t look at that list until the following year so again on December 31 we go for dinner and reflect on those initial goals we had made and see if they actually happened.  A tradition we enjoy very much as it puts into perspective where we are in our lives and where we are heading for that coming year.  Then in the following weeks I create my goals breaking them down month to month as a guide to help me stay on track and focused.   When I look back I’m humbled and in immense gratitude for all the incredible things that have happened in one year and it reconfirms my purpose here on this planet during this lifetime.  Although we have many purposes and roles to fulfill as Shakespeare once said, “All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players;
 They have their exits and their entrances,
 And one man in his time plays many parts…”


I know that one of my greatest purposes is getting my album DIVINITY out to the world so that people can be inspired by the lyrics/messages and music composition.  So knowing this profound truth my ultimate goal is to work hard and do everything I can to share it with the world so they reap the benefits of this Divinely inspired album.  In the world we live in that’s technologically advancing at a fast pace social media becomes pertinent to one’s mission in the music business.  I’m honored to be sharing this journey with you all, 60 others who like me have felt the need to take things to the next level and with the guidance of Ariel and her wisdom she is imparting to us, all along with our shared experiences we are all destined for greatness!  A blessed journey these 9 weeks will be!
