Album Notes

After 10 years in the studio "Simple Me", is finally complete. As a wife, mom, teacher, mentor and friend, there has been plenty of life that got in the way of getting this CD finished. But there was also whole lot of life that went into making this CD what it is. A reflection on the challenges of life, the reality of pain, and the hope we have for a better tomorrow. The songs on this cd are born from both joy and sorrow and a deep faith that carries us. The album is a blend of modern folk/pop/rock and adult contemporary stylings set to lyrics that come from the heart. Timeless and refreshing. It is definitely one album you will keep on repeat. Many musicians and friends contributed to making this CD, lending their creativity and exceptional musicianship. Home grown, original independent music. Thanks for your support.

Mitra currently resides in beautiful British Columbia with her husband and music producer, Moses Kostamo (www.mokoproductions.com) and their five children. \"My family is top priority for me. Above all else, I love being a mom. My husband and I are very family oriented and believe that our children should be involved in our live shows as much as possible. From setting up the sound gear to playing on stage, it is important that we participate together as a family. " Mitra's solo project "Simple Me" has taken a few years to complete. "It\'s a running joke in our family because every time we get close to completing the album, another baby comes along and postpones the production." However, after years of writing and recording, the project is finally complete.

"We are all given an opportunity to make a positive impact in life, but it is up to each individual to make that conscious choice to do so."
Mitra Kostamo
