It's been a while since I've written anything in this blog and it is similar to one of the first blogs I wrote on here which I titled "These Shoes of Mine." It certainly wasn't due to lack of content to contribute but rather most of my venting and thoughts are expressed through writing lyrics. Please remember it is not my intention to try to write something worthy of praise. It is also not a "what can people do to help stop racism?" entry. Lastly, it is not an indictment of all white people as some of the…

These Shoes of Mine
Please do me a favor and read this. And, if your heart compels you, comment. I'd like to spark some open and candid dialogue among a diverse group of people. I wear grown man underwear, so I can digest whatever you have to say!

For writers and producers however, this can be the question we hear numerous times when we’re in our labs trying to cook up our next creation. Our response to the question usually varies from “just a few minutes” (translation: another hour or two) to just completely ignoring the fact it was asked in the first place. It goes without saying it is hard work to maintain a relationship while pursuing…Read more
The album is DONE!
Maaaaaan, I thought I would never get my album completed. That's what I get for being so foolish as to do this project all on my own. Back at the height of my illness a few yrs ago, I told myself I wanted to take the challenge of doing my first solo album on my own when the time came. After all, I wasn't sure if I'd ever be my normal self again. I wanted to make sure the album had quite a few features from other up and coming independent artists. I had a chance to work with some more established artists…Read more
