March/April

March 26th, 2008

I’m hoping to update my bio very soon. I think it’s probably over a year old and in some serious need of change!
As for my current events…The Kelly Rowland song I did “Unity” is out and so far is getting some nice reviews. Good luck Kelly!
I’ve finished 4 songs with JD Fortune and they are (I must say) killer!! I’m really looking forward to his fans hearing this and finishing the album with him.
As for what’s next…Well, I’ll be heading into the studio again with Fully Loaded again next week to record a couple of songs we wrote together.
Also going to be heading off to Calgary for the Juno’s.
Later…….
