So, I am here in Memphis Tn working on my new and upcoming worship/rock album.
I am here working with a Christian Hip-Hop label: Reach records. I know it's kind of odd and ironic to be working on a very white worship/rock album at a Hip-Hop record studio. Needless to say God has been definately showing His face in my life. He continues to amaze me with His promises and limitless amounts of grace and love. Believe it or not I have been learning alot about myself and about the nature of who God can be in my own life while being here. And despite the fact the memphis has been recently voted the #1 city for having the highest crime level...It's absolutely wonderful, beautiful and quite lovely here. The nights however are interesting...random snow fall from no where, gun shots off in a distance and yet i find it quite inspiring. A track that's gonna be on my new album that is going to be released sometime in late april was writtten and record during a rain storm here at the end of Tillman street in midtown Memphis called "Soundtrack for the journey home". An instrumental that through the entire song tells a story about an individual who leaves a situation..maybe its a crisis, an argument, a situation that leaves one in a state of melancholy....regardless, the setting is in the car with rhythms from the rain clouds above beating on the hood of a car whose engine is creative a subtle melody bed, while the thoughts of a mere listener becomes the creativity of the lyrical content or meaning behind the number.
So, with saying all of that...my album "A view for opened eyes" is going to be released in April on CD and on itunes. please check back with me on this site for more blog updates and more tracks to hear!
Bless you!
