N.O.W. - THE ALBUM IS DONE

Yes, after all my talking and planning and updates - ITS DONE. All tracks are recorded, mixed & mastered. I did all of the lead and background vocals with the exception of having Big XL, Madame Ice & my cousin Roshada Taylor doing some backgrounds on a couple of songs. I wrote all of the tracks , produced half of them and helped mix all of them. I'm really proud of the work that me and Dano (co-producer/engineer) put into this album.

Austin TX - Recording Academy TX Chapter Open House

So I was in the state capitol last night for the Recording Academy's open house. It was a great mixer where I had the chance to meet & take a picture with the legendary Pinetop Perkins, T-Byrd Gordon, entertainment attorney Catherine Tabor, Exec Director of the Texas Chapter - Theresa Jenkins, Chapter President - Carlos Sosa, Christee Albino (Chapter Assistant), 2-U-Neek from Los Angeles, Mark Somgynari (thanks for the info on sponsorships), DJ Solo and others.

The Exec Director gave me the ok to spearhead bringing the Academy programs and events such as GrammyU & Grammy In The Schools into the Dallas area. I will be working with her to set-up programs to educate artists and to provide better networking opportunites. A 2 1/2 hour drive and I came back with a potential new place to record, opp to produce for a group working with Disney, opp to be a pioneer in music business education, event planner and loads of other opps.

There are so many more things on the horizon for myself and my music endeavors so stay tuned. Pics will be available soon. Holla.
