The Answer - Day 1

I had a great first 75% of the day, (I will let you know why only the first 75% of my day was good in my next post). I was at the studio today recording my new song titled "The Answer". I got together with a few sound engineers as well as musicians to work on this song. Let me tell you that I am working with one of the most talented teams I have ever met. Check out the video for more details of day at the studio.

We are living in a small world! I say that because the pianist that was with us today was one of my high school buddies. We graduated together and rode the same bus everyday. Isn't that funny? God is so good and when we are in His perfect will, everything falls into place as well as the right people. It was another great experience at the studio. I will keep you guys updated with the progress of my new song "The Answer".

Closer to You (Demo) Day 2

What is up my people! God is good!

This weekend has been interesting I have to say but I am still enjoying every minute of it. We'll it was about 2 weeks since I last went to the studio to continue working on my single, "Closer to You", until yesterday. I got back together with my good friend Rob and it was another awesome time singing and putting music together. Man I wish I could do this full time, hopefully one day, God willing. Anyways I am excited to say that we are almost done! Throughout the 2 weeks that I wasn't in the studio, I was working on adding another verse as well as a powerful bridge. I was also getting some feed back from other songwriters/worship leaders regarding the lyrics, so I ended up making some lyrical changes to the song as well. But thank that I was able to finish the song and bring it to the studio. My man Rob is still working on some mixes but overall the song is pretty much complete. Check out some pics!

Check me out! I am getting ready to lay down some lyrics!

I am still in the process of memorizing my lyrics so bear with me!

The techno guru (Rob) is at work! This guys is a genius! He has been a big blessing in my life. He did all the musical arrangements as well as all the mixes (and all that good stuff).

Overall it has been an amazing experience that has humbled me and shown me God's favor over my life. I can't wait to continue to more songs and hopefully get a cd going with a record label, but I don't want to get ahead of myself, I will take it day by day, trusting more and more in my Lord Jesus Christ.

Your probably wanting to hear the song already (and I don't blame you I talk to much). Well here it is!

Closer to You - Demo- Day 1

What is going on everybody! I hope you enjoyed your weekend like I did.
Man I cannot begin to tell you how overwhelmed I am. I am so thankfull to God, so excited for what is going on in my life. Two years ago I had a dream of me singing and recording in a studio with a man that I didn't know at that time and in a place that I wasn't familiar of as well. But dream became real yesterday.

About 10 (or maybe more I don't remember) months ago I met a guy at my job named Robert Gundling. At the time that I met him I didn't know he was a believer. Months passed by and he came into the office and saw that I had a Hillsong United wallpaper in my computer. From that moment on we started talking about music. I ended up finding out that he was a worship
leader/producer/singer/musician, and that he had a studio as well. This was about June or July of this year. When he find out that I was a songwriter, he wanted me to come to his studio and work on some of my stuff. I was shocked because not a lot of producers openly give you time in there studio without some cash.

Anyways since then I have been trying to get with him to do something in the studio but it has been very hard especially in the times that we are in. But Sunday October 12th 2008 was the day! I got together with him in his studio and forget it, we hit it off immediately. We were like kids in chukee cheese (I still like chukee cheese by the way!). It was amazing. I wish I took some pictures but I was so caught up in the moment that it wasn't on my mind. We worked on one of my songs called "Closer to You". I wrote this song about a month ago. It was one of those songs that just came into my head and I wrote it down just as an idea. But as I keeped writting it, it really grabed me.I didn't want to do a really fast song or even a really slow song either. I wanted to get something in between that we could work with and that wasn't too complicated. So I picked this one to be my first one. Rob loved it, he caught on to it quick. I was there from 1:30 till about 6:00pm and we accomplished more than half of the song, which was about 2 minutes and 30 seconds worth.

It was an amazing experience. We will see how things continue to go from here on out. I will be honest with you, I don't have a plan at this moment and I don't know where all this is headed but I think that is a good thing because God knows the answer to those questions and I don't have to worry as long as I am walking in his plan for me and trusting Him. And that goes for everyone; I am not saying that you shouldn't plan things in your life because I will, but what I am saying is don't put your plans in front of God's because then it will just screws things up. Let God do what He wants and needs to do in your life! Sorry just had to toss a little preaching!

I have a sample mp3 of the song available for anyone to listen. Check it out and let me know what you think!

It is called "Closer to You"
