Ok! So I've just been accepted as a member of SESAC!!! I'm ecstatic!  What's SEASAC you ask?  It's only the most selective of the three Performing Rights Agencies in the US.  ASCAP and BMI are the other two.  Why am I soooooo....ooo excited? It's because I was turned down the 1st time I tried to join as a writer/publisher by trying to promote an artist I was managing!  The SESAC rep strongly advised me to work on my own music!  So I did!  I went back to him with my CD a week ago and he actually said that he was impressed!  I was even more honored when he asked me to authograph my CD!  The icing on the cake? He displayed it prominently among Day 26 "PDiddy's group" and Michael Jackson, just to name a couple.  Now how Kool is that?  Just goes to prove what I always say!  Want something done right..... See you Soon!
Never ever giving up your dreams!!!

Some of you have asked how you can get my new Spoken Soul album, it is now available on CD Baby, iTunes and Universal CD.  Check out my "Links" page to click on the link to each online music distribution website.  You can purchase the album, CD or download the mp3 from either of these site.

If you already have the CD, thanks a million for your purchase.  I appreciate all your wonderful support and feedback. I need your support once again. Please vist Universal CD and itunes to rate the CD and write a brief review! I would really appreciate it.  I have been receiving a lot of really great response from all of you telling me how much you love the CD and rating your favorite pieces on the album.  It would have such a great impact if other's can read what you think about it too!  [...]

I don't know about you but I've been feeling a bit overwhelmed by the recent earthquake in Haiti.  I experienced a sense of loss and hopelessness.  I spoke to a couple of my Haitian freinds the day after the news of the the earthquake and I found that they were pretty much feeling the same way.  Perhaps even worse since they have lost family and freinds.  Dealing with the damage of their native land has dealt a damaging blow to all of the Hatians I speak to.  As I began to watch the news and seek out information, I find that the rest of the world seems just as confusued about what to do or how to help as my Hatian friends (and I have many) are. 
My initial feeling was that if I can't reach out to the people directly, at least I can reach out to my friends and other Hatians and people dealing with the affect of the quake right here in Atlanta.  I found that many of them just needed to talk about the incident and what they were experiencing not knowing [...]

I googled my name today to find that my CD is now being sold on Universal CD and itunes...how Cool!  So in spite of my obstacles (and that's all problems are) I am determined to stay my course!  After all, I have you on this trip with me so I have to make sure [...]
