Getting Down To Business
Hello Everyone,
I want to share my weekend with you guys. Even though it rain for 48 hours straight, there was a sunny day in Baltimore this past Saturday. Maryanne Metheny-Katz, jazz vocalist of Jazzway 6004 concert venue, hosted a clinic "Succeeding in the Industry" by Magohany Jazz recording artist Kathy Kosin. The lecture was very, very informative and enlightening. How to get gigs. How to make a living being a performer. It's hard work. You're always searching, calling and performing. Your heart must be in it. Love and believe in yourself. This will keep on top. If you wish to learn more about Kathy Kosin's "Succeeding in the Industry", please visit her website at http://www.kathykosins.com/index.php And also, please visit Jazzway 6004 calendar for upcoming performances at http://www.jazzway6004.org/. There is a wonderful article written by David Dudley in The URBANITE http://www.urbanitebaltimore.com/includes/print.cfm?sectionID=4&IssueID=76&ArticleID=1316&print=1http://

Ok, Ok, I'm making a move now to write on the blog.
Hello eveyone,
I know the year is almost over and it's been a busy, busy year. In the first part of 2009, I released and produced my first CD "A Teardrop Of Sun" with the help of Washington, DC finest musicians: Harry Appelman, piano; David Jernigan, bass; Tony Martucci, drums; Alejandro Lucini, drums and percussion (Pandeiro); Paul Wingo, guitar; Lyle Link, tenor and soprano saxophone. Along with a great recording personnel engineer, co-producer and mixed by Heidi Gerber of All Access Audio, Silver Spring, Md along with additional recording by Jeff Gruber at Blue House Production, Silver Spring, Md and mastered by Charlie Philzer of Airshow Mastering, Inc., Springfield, VA.
It was a great and spiritual learning experience and I'm slowly recovering from the two year project. Please take my advice ("TAKE YOUR TIME" ," TAKE SOME TIME OFF WHEN THE PROJECT IS COMPLETED, PLEASE!!!!!!") when completing a CD project enjoy every single moment with the musicians, engineers and your business associates. Surround yourself with good energy and maintained a calm spirit.
Well it's time to go. I will return every Sunday to share my journey about my first cd project, news and what's coming up next. I don't want give you the wrong impression that I'm on an ego trip, I just want to share my blessings and let everyone know "FELLOW YOUR DREAMS AND YOUR HEART" in other words, don't be afraid!!!!!! See yah Sunday August 23, 2009.
