How I Love (and Miss) the Mic

Big Rawle asked me to come into the studio this past weekend. I sang a hook on one of his debut joints. Talented guy.

Made me reminisce on how much I love to sing, especially in the studio where I can be edited. Singing a capella is a beautiful thing, but most of us vocalists need to be smoothed out here and there, which is why I love the studio so much. If I had my way, I'd spend my days writing and singing...writing and singing...writing and singing...

On Hold..Again

So Nikki Hesse (of 92.3NOW) tells me that Nick's pitchline segment might come up again in a week or two. Maybe, when it does, they'll remember that I went that extra mile to get my pitch to them even when their voicemail box was full. I might have to step up my game even further. Gotta be careful, though. There's that fine line between getting someone's attention and being stalkerish, and I'm not trying to be branded as the latter.

Meanwhile, I'm still preparing for the oh-so-official release of my young adult novel K My Name Is Kendra. It was released with very limited distribution earlier this year, but the cover is soon to be re-done and the distribution will be global, so I'm looking forward to modest success with it. Planning the release party and a school tour even as we speak. Should be fun!

Random thought: wonder if Nick would be interested in Kendra for TeenNick? Hm...if I ever get his ear, you know I'll pitch it!
