Carrying on…
Along with most of the world right now, there’s really not too much new to report this month. My music production engine is purring along nicely with a steady stream of new music in all of the various stages of development. I’m aiming for 6 new tracks next month. I… Listen ⇢

The best thing about COVID-19…
…also happens to be the worst thing about COVID 19! My biggest stress I have as a musician is the continual battle to land live gigs. It’s my #1 goal every year – “Play to more people, more often…LIVE!” It’s a hard enough mission, even for seasoned DJs to hunt… Listen ⇢

Well that’s half of 2020 blown! Everyone having fun so far? My plans for 2020, like most people’s, have been someone destroyed so I ‘ve taken a few months to reset…I would pivot (buzz word of the month)…but, my ankles… I started off the Covid Staycation with a few (9… Listen ⇢

I think I deserve a B+
It’s that time of the year (actually, it’s 2 days later than that time) to take stock of how I went with my music goals for 2019. My Report Card is below. I think it’s about a B+! I had plenty of under shoots on many of my goals, but… Listen ⇢
