I hope you all have a wonderful Valentine’s Day! Here’s a YouTube Valentine’s dedication to you all

Happy blessings!

Ok, am I the only one that didn’t know that regular trash and recyclable waste go to the same place? Well I guess I did hear before that everything goes to the same place, but I misunderstood. I didn’t realize that in some areas (not all from what I am told) have waste companies that collect their trash and recyclable waste in the same bin. Apparently, my apartment uses such a company for they’re waste needs. So here I was today, running around the Valley with a big ol’ trash bag of plastic/paper shopping bags, bottles and cans, trying to find a recycle center to do my part in promoting a healthy planet!!! And then at the end of my failed search I get home and what do I find?????? I sign on the trash bin outside saying that my apartment complex recycles…just throw everything in our bin and we sort it for you!! WTF! LOL! Well at least I made a conscious effort and at now I know now that when I throw all of my trash in the same bin (at least at my apartment complex) I am still recycling! I just really feel for the dude or chick who has to sort through everyone’s trash. It’s a dirty job, but somebody has to do it! Thank you, Trash Sorters, for your valued service in the fight for a greener earth!

Here are some more tips so you too can do your part

Make sure to visit “Our Planet” on myspace!

Ok so now that I’ve made u wait til the very end…here’s the main event, what you all have been waiting for (well you should be waiting for it lol)….my new YouTube vid! I was just chillin and thought I’d record a little quickie for a few of my fellow YouTubers who requested it! Bon appétit!

Chew on that for a little while, my friends, while I work on cooking u up some new music….

Peace!

The holidays are already here! I’m so excited!! I love this time of the year I’ve been staying really busy these past few months writing, writing, writing!! Some of the songs I’ve been working on are being shopped to various artists so hopefully one of them will get picked up soon!

I’ve also started working in the studio with a great producer I really admire artistically. I’ve known him for quite a while now (since I was 16!), but we never got together to work on music so I’m really happy we’re starting to work on a solo project for me. It’s something different from what would be expected of me so we’ll see how it all unfolds. I’m definitely enjoying the ride

So the cover song I’m singing for you today is really special to me because I assisted on the actual session for it where Timbaland recorded his beatboxing, keyboards and vocals at the Studio at the Palms! It was such an honor to watch an amazing producer like him at work. He’s always been one of my musical idols so I was so happy to be a part of that experience.

Here it is…I was lucky to have the engineer from that session record this live version of me singing “Apologize”. ….enjoy

p.s. The London Times just did an article on album covers and it included an interview with me about the Killers’ “Sam’s Town” cover. I’ll be posting the article in my next blog so look out for that!

Of what I’m feeling and how motivated and focused I am right now I’m totally in love with being an artist on all levels. I don’t think there is anything else I would be happier doing with my life than leading a creative and artistic one. I’m so happy and blessed to know this and I’m going to do my best to continue on this path.

Well alrighty, anyway….enough of my sappy happy feelings lol…..I’ve made another YouTube vid. Right now it’s a lot easier to post these videos than it is to post any new music because most of the new music I’m working on is for other artists (that will soon change as I am preparing to work on my own solo project) So anywho, here it is. I love this new Alicia Keys song….so soulful and universal. It really has me inspired to strive to write classic songs that will last through the years! Go ‘head Alicia! And now here’s my version of “No One” by Alicia Keys……

Been busy working and travelling. I went to the AES (Audio Engineering Society) conference in NYC at the beginning of this month which was fun except for the hot, humid weather which was weird for autumn. But it was definitely cool to nerd out over all the gear and see old friends. Then I was battling being sick for while, off and on with the flu, but I’m happy to say that I am feeling fully recovered as of today.

I’ve written a bunch of new songs that I’m very proud of. I have to say that the hardest part about being an artist sometimes is just staying focused. It’s really easy to get distracted when you feel like you’ve hit a wall creatively, but its even more satisfying when you overcome that wall and jump over it. I feel like I’ve been jumping leaps and bounds and it feels great.
