Here’s my newest.  I wrote and produced it.  Gotten really good feedback on it and it would fit Jason DeRulo, Sean Kingston, Taio Cruz or a similar type of artist.  If you’re connected to one of those and would like to discuss placement or licensing, please contact me.

Otherwise, take a listen and let me know what you think. For best quality, listen to it in HD (select the 720dpi in the bottom right of the youtube window)

Did this track the other day. Put a hook on it.  Just needs someone who can beast the lyrics.  check out the cool video i found to go with it.  This has to be the best fight scene ever.

Track is available for licensing, lease and placement.

Here’s the latest.  Kinda has a Dream/Drake feel to it.  Which means if you really don’t like them, you probably won’t like this.

Okay.  I’m not giving up on this.  I just needed to figure out how ways to get content quickly and to be able to post quickly without taking away from my music creation.

I’m working it out.  I will get better this.  Thanks for hanging in there with me.

In the meanwhile,  here are some a bunch of new songs I’ve recently cut.  (see I really have been working hard).  I’d love your thoughts.  And I’ll keep new songs coming more often.

Yep.  Here’s a new one:  Song called “Let It Go” featuring Shadrika.

I’m excited about this new collaboration. Babyboi is a producer with T-Pain’s Nappy Boy Digital Music Group.  And Shadrika is a talented Gospel vocalist. This is the result of our first collab and we’ve got some more in the works.

Stay tuned, we might really start pushing the envelope in the gospel arena.

I know, I know.  How cliche'.  But it's true. Sometimes I focus so much on making music that I forget to share it with people.

I'm trying to get better at this.  So… here we go again.

Hopefully, you'll see more updates more frequently.  Plus, I've got a new blogging service that should help me make posting easier.

We'll see.

Stay tuned.

I’ve been wanting to learn.  Found one on craigslist for only $15.  Yep that’s right!

Looks like some old Sears & Roebucks model.  I don’t want to spend any money on a serious guitar until I know that I can really play this thing.  But, I’m excited!!!!

Jumped online and found a bunch of free tutorials.  Pretty much stayed on the one from about.com all day.

I think I spent about 3 or 4 hours on this thing today.  Learned about 4 chords which is enough to make a song (*thumbs up*)

I’m having some trouble getting the fingers on my left hand in place so that I am only pressing the strings I want. Since I already play the violin I figured my fingers would just fall in place.  Not so!  I’m going to have to work on this.  I need to try some other guitars too cause maybe these strings just need to be pressed a little too hard to connect with the fretboard.

Anyway, so far so good.  I’ll keep you posted.

Uh oh, I’m starting to fall behind in posting here.  Not that I’m not working.  I’ve got a number of songs in develompment and I’ve been doing some really cool collaborations in the last month but nothing quite finished yet so I don’t have a new song to post.  Maybe soon.

In the meanwhile, you really should come see me on twitter.  I post there multiple times everyday and it’s really the best way to keep up with what I’m doing.  Haven’t heard of twitter? It’s a microblog where you can keep up with interesting people (hey, that’s me and other people can keep up with you.

I’m a huge fan.  I’m hardly on myspace these days (too slow).  I’m still on Facebook (which I really like) but I LOVE twitter.

StumbledUpon this site. They developed a great online tool that shows every kind of chord you can think of. Plus learn all your scales. Includes lots of exotic scales from other countries. Great tool. Unfortunately they haven’t widgetized it so you have to click the link. But check it out.
