Happy Thursday to you all,
I am so excited to remind you that Dream Volume One is on its way very soon to a computer near you!  The album drops March 1st, 2012.  So don't forget March 1st, 2012.  Once again, that's March 1st, 2012. 
The album will be available for digital distribution only...well, at least for the time being.  I've written 17 tracks (3 are co-writes with my good friend Kel kostar8.com) for your listening enjoyment.  A lot of them you've probably heard, others are brand spanking new.  All in all (and I know I say this a lot) I am very pleased with the result.
Justin Potts from Infinity Arts, once again, has created some fun and whimsical artwork for the cover that I can't wait to highlight.  I love how he creates and am so thrilled to have him return for my sophomore album.  Follow the link to see a youtube of the teaser with artwork included (As well as some "me" pictures over the past several years.  Normally [...]

Hello my friends,
I just wrapped the first season of Jim Henson's "Pajanimals" earlier this month.  Such an amazing experiance.  The composer that I work with has been such a great blessing to me taking me under his wing and showing me the ropes and introducing me to a grip load of influential people. Really big names in the industry.
I sent the last of my end of the work to him in the AM of November 3rd and then decided that my brain was too fried to do anything.  So I drove to Santa Monica and laid out at the beach.  It was then that I realized, "it's my one year anniversary in LA, I'm sitting on the beach, and I just wrapped a TV show".  I had to pinch myself at the silliness of it all.  I attacked this town and the result is that I'm a part of it!  Just like that!
There's still a loooooong way to go for sure but I have a year of very hard work under my belt and already something to show for it.  I've got several months before the [...]

Hello!
It was a busy summer and it's looking like it'll be a busy fall as well.  NOT complaining.  Things are happening left and right and I can't help but feel so blessed in the place that I am in my life.  Music is coming out of my ears and fingertips faster then I can record them.  And the paychecks to prove it are just about there.
The beginning of September proved to be exhaustingly wonderful.  My friend is pitching a webisode show and I got to write the theme for it!  He had several people he approached for it and I'm pretty sure he was more interested in them to write it but guess who was the only one that followed through....;)  Just goes to show that follow through is key people!  Don't be a flake!  Not exactly sure when it will be available to share with all of you but I'll be sure to post it as soon as I can.
In other news, I got a really cool part time gig working as Michael Silversher's assistant.  You may not know his name [...]

Finally got a copy of the last 48 Hour Film Project I did the beginning of this month.  The crew met up several days before the contest for a meet and greet.  We all agreed that this would be a lot of fun and we all agreed that we hoped we'd get any genre but western....guess what happened. 
As you all know of me I made the most of it.  What else could I do?!  I packed up all my gear and headed to Burbank where I would be holed up for the weekend.  It was just me and the editor for several hours as everyone was out shooting in the hills of Malibu.  Slowly they started to drop off video for Sel to start working on and I started looking over his shoulder to gain inspiration from picture. 
Every time I start one of these things I have this looming feeling of....I got nothin'.  But as the night and then the morning continues it all pulls itself together.  As usual, I was over complicating my tracks and kept having to mute things as my director [...]

Hi all,
It's been a little bit since I've sent a blog out to you but those of you that know me know that it isn't for lack of work.  In fact, the very opposite has occurred.  I can't keep up with what new songs I've posted and which ones have gone directly to publishers and/or projects.  Although I've been trying to post to reverbnation as soon as I get a new one finished it hasn't always happened.  Even today I'm not posting it all.  I figured if I can put 3 new ones up a month that should satisfy your musical wonderings.  So that's what you'll be getting in this blog entry as well as some news.
On the flash player you will find 3 new ones.  First up is MaGaga.  This one was REALLY fun to write.  I got to spend a couple days researching Lady Gaga, Madonna, and yes Katy Perry to see how they (or rather their team) do thier mixes.  And although I'm a late bloomer I now am a fan of Gaga.  Her engineer is so incredible.  A lot of [...]
