Introducing Coretta Bridges

     Coretta Bridges is a poet, singer, songwriter, music publisher, and proprietor of two businesses: Coretta`s Gift Shop, and Muzik and Lyriks Publishing Company. Coretta Bridges has written 42 songs published by her publishing company - Muzik and Lyriks Publishing. All total, Coretta Bridges has 50 songs published. Eight songs are managed by a different publisher.

     Simply Me is a Coretta Bridges CD released in 2012. Simply Me features Steve Brooks, who performs double duty playing guitar and engineering the Simply Me project.

     In May, 2014, Coretta Bridges released her fourth CD through her Muzik and Lyriks Publishing Company titled "Artistic Awakening". This is a good CD. Coretta Bridges is accompanied by strong background vocals that complements the dynamic song styling of Coretta Bridges, which is truly exemplified in Change Your Ways, and the a cappella singing of I`m There For You. Artistic Awakening is a social commentary by Coretta Bridges that has much to say, for example, Make My Way - Remix is written and performed by Shaun Moore - Bey and Coretta Bridges, is a song that gives hope in its message that struggle does not last always.

     Coretta Bridges is also a singing member of Simply Divine. Simply Divine performs mostly cover selections of other artist. I have seen video of Simply Divine, and I recommend taking-in a show, I think you will be impress.

     All songs are written by Coretta Bridges on Simply Me, and Artistic Awakening. In Coretta Bridges` library of 50 songs, three songs are co-written with other songwriters. Coretta Bridges has also recorded music helping to launch the careers of others.

     In 2010, a 10 year old Rich "Richy Rich" Taylor got the call from Bridges to do an inspirational piece on "Better Days To Come", off her Journey CD. Rich "Richy Rich" Taylor is a rapper, and I must say Coretta Bridges infuses that style effectively.
