THE SECOND SINGLE AND COFFEE SHOPPE

Hey everybody! Guess what??? After two weeks of recording take after take of the second single off the debut CD I am finally done recording it! You can not believe all the interruptions I've had during the sessions. Now, you know I've been recording at MVH studios and my supervisor Ms. Laura Lopez, well she's been supervising the sessions. It's been very hot and she's also been working really hard too. We both have. It's just been very hectic and frustrating but I still love the process. Now, I am not griping or complaining.... You all know I love my music and what I do. This song is very important to me, I wrote this song for a very special someone. I can release the name of the single yet but I will soon. The new single will be released on Sept. 17th, 2009. The 17th is also the day I will be debuting the single in a public performance. Last week, I auditioned for a show called Coffee Shoppe at Mar Vista High School. My audition song was the single. Long story short, the judges loved it and so did the special someone (who came into the audition room to watch). Anyway, I got in and I will be performing the single LIVE at Coffee Shoppe on Sept. 17, 2009 @ 7pm @ Mar Vista High School in Imperial Beach in our school's drama building. So come and join the fun, there will be lots more performers as well. 

Well, I guess that's it for now. I will talk to you all very soon! 

Always follow your dreams!

With love from,

Some recording, Kick ass songs and the retirement of one of country music's most popular duos

Well hello everyone! How are all of you? I hope you all are very well. I have some great news! I have finally got some recording done. Now that my senior year has started, I am starting to do some recording at MVH studios. Ms. Laura Lopez has continued to allow me to use her equipment and space for the recording of this album. So I've been bringing in my guitar and laying down some acoustic demos and other tracks for the album. Its going great so far. This is a long process but its also a hell of a lotta fun! Still no video blog. Again, its due to lack of a webcam. I promise, when I get in touch with a webcam, that new video blog will flying your way in no time! For now, I'm strumming my guitar and writing some more songs for the album. I wrote some that I am really excited about recording! They are what I like to call "kick ass" songs. Its going to be great! Also, the music business had another blow. After 20 years of doing music together, country music duo Brooks & Dunn are retiring.... They will release their #1s album and then do one final farewell tour in 2010.... When I heard the news, I was stunned. It was totally unexpected! I do want to congratulate Brooks & Dunn for all the years of wonderful music they gave us and for sharing their talent with the world. You guys sure did inspire me! Congratulations and best of luck to you in the future. Well, I guess thats all for now. I will talk to you all very soon! Always follow your dreams! With love from, J-A
