Internet [Soul] Connection →
One of the highlights of 2007 was my connecting with Chillcast host, Anjibee. In addition to being a dynamic podcaster, she is also one-half of the group, Lovespirals. I was fortunate enough to remix one of their songs, which blends our styles together in a grown + sexy way. The end result was “This Truth” and it is proof that internet connections truly open your creative minds to a whole new...

Concert Review - Hot Choklate in December →
When it comes to music, anyone can nod their head to an infectious drum beat. The vast majority can connect to carefully written lyrics. But it takes a unique blend of artistry and truth to find music that uncovers a purpose in your life. That is what I experienced when we ventured out to the chic Myles J restaurant + lounge to see one of the driving forces of indie soul music…Choklate.
When we...

This song - produced by the Big La - is my personal shout out to some of the strong voices of neo-soul. Download audio file (big_la_fave_fnss.mp3)
