I really want to learn the whole photoshop suite this summer and build a portfolio. And I would LOVE if someone could teach me. I would be willing to put the work in and treat it like a college class. SO HELP.
This week’s Talent @ Bowdoin features Coretta King singing her cover of Frank Ocean’s “Thinking About You.” Coretta takes Ocean’s popular song and makes it something entirely diffrent, combining her unfeigned mournful voice with some smooth piano tunes. Check out her video and an interview with Coretta King below.
Coretta will be performing, along with Ahmad Hassan Muhammad ’11, this Friday, Nov. 11, 7:30-9:00 p.m. at the Gibson Center in a Concert Benefit for Victims of the Earthquake in Haiti. Go check her out!
How long have you been singing/playing piano and posting songs on YouTube?
I have been singing since I was very little. I grew up singing in church and at school events from elementary school up. I began playing the piano around 11 or 12, especially to train to for my church during my middle school and high school years. Posting on YouTube for me started going on a year ago when I finally became confident enough to share my music with the public, especially when you never know who is watching—which can be both nerve wrecking and exciting.
