Demo Session & Reality Show Placements!!

Awesome day!!

Went and took Jared Grimes today at Broadway Dance Center. It had been so long!! He's inspired me since the first year I moved to NYC and had me participate in a bunch of his Broadway Underground shows at B.B. King's in Times Square. Blessed to know him. It was a great class!

I'm called in tomorrow to sing a demo for Miller (beer). The song is All By Myself by Eric Carmen, but a contemporary soulful version. Was listening to the original though (I was only familiar with the Celine Dion version) and it sounds good...

I also got awesome news that my music has been licensed for a bunch of reality shows.... REALITY TV woo-hoo!!

Here are the shows the licensing may include:

Real World

The Challenge

Keeping up with the Kardashians

Kim & Kourtney Take New York

Bad Girls Club

Bad Girls Dating

Very exciting! Hope this is the first of many licensing / placements to come!

Wonderful weekend

Happy 4th of July to everyone!

Wanted to give a quick update:

This weekend was so wonderful...I was asked by a friend to perform at Out in the Adirondacks at Great Camp Sagamore. It was an arts-oriented gay/lesbian weekend, where I performed alongside Chris Pureka, poet Andrea Gibson, and Patty Larkin. What great company!

I had a nice set on Friday night and then just enjoyed the rest of the weekend--canoeing, hiking, tour of the campground, hanging out with my friend Bryan Jarrett who came with me, and some of the other kids who were there working for the summer.

I was inspired by the other artists who performed & by the nature. It was beautiful weather.

Tonight I made a brief cameo once again in Broadway Underground at BB Kings. It was the first Broadway Underground in over a year, so it was fun to be back in that arena....Jared Grimes is amazing!

Over & out

Jared Grimes

Highlight of today was taking Jared Grimes' class at BDC. He is an amazing tap dancer and hip-hop choreographer. We've been tight for a couple years, and I have performed at his Broadway Underground show at BB King's several times. For the past year or so, he has been working on the new Cirque du Soleil show, but now he is done with that contract and back teaching.

Class was fire!

And had an inspirational talk afterwards with Jared and Robert Taylor Jr. (another artist). Lots of ideas back and forth, good stuff!

Had a rehearsal tonight with The Bloodsugars. We are doing shows this weekend in Philly, DC, NY, and Boston. Love those guys!
