I was born England Gwynel Brooks, in Los Angeles, California on November 21, 1956. I have been living in Bodø, Norway since April 2004, where I have found music is a big part of the heart of the city. I love to sing and appreciate the talents of others. I would like to start a Gospel Choir here in Bodø, as well as continue with a Band I started called,"BLEND".I picked the name Blend because there may be a different blend of musicians at any given at any given performance, thus reducing the limitations of talent rendered. I recently found out that there is already a band with that name here in Norway so I searched in and outside myself looking for a new name that hopefully no one had and that would perfectly describle not ony the music but the group itself. I came up with the name, ChangEng. I started singing at at a very young age. I was 4 years old when my Mom had me singing in the United Nations Children's Choir in Long Beach, California. I received the nick name, "Lala" when I was seven years old because I was always humming or singing, so I was told. I believe that Love, Forgivness and Music are the Keys to a good life.
