John Mayer Interview - Opie & Anthony Show

I was listening to the Opie & Anthony show today and John Mayer was on and he is a really cool guy. He really influences me as an artist even more so now because he is always himself no matter what (he even said a couple of dirty things which made him seem more like a regular person). I really hope this whole music thing takes off, I would love to work with him one day. I mean, we both have similar likes and dislikes from what I heard in the interview.

BTW: My music is on hold due to financial reasons. It's hard to finish the project when I am paying for the majority of my recording studio time all by myself since no one wants to help fund my project (and even though I'm cool with my producers, I learn that people are out for the almighty dollar, but that's a different story for a different day) Hopefully I can get a job soon so I can finish the rest of my album. It sucks though because if I get a job, it'll be hard to pursue my music (i.e. doing shows). It really is a double-edged sword.

Oh well, I promise that once my album is released, I will do my best to do as many shows as I possibly can.

Till next time..

Este Mundo - DONE!

I just received the complete version of another track for my album called "Este Mundo". It's a deeper song than the other ones, it's basically my "heal the world"... lol. But it has a very strong feel to it. I have gotten really great reviews on it from my closest of closes since this is a track that I will not release until I release my EP. But trust me folks, this is another one that you need to hear.

Wet Paint Syndrome E-Zine

There is an article about me featured in my friend Will's "Wet Paint Syndrome". It's primarily a photography, modeling, and art in general e-zine. I did the interview a couple of months back and I'm very pleased with the article. So make sure to check it out and to sign up to his e-zine!

Here is the site URL:

When you go to his site, go to the "News" section, and then click on "#Download WPS"

P.S. If you look close enough, you might catch an article that includes my manager, "Babylinda"

Panic! At The Disco - June 30th - Sayerville

Wow...what a show... it started with a band I never heard of called "The Hush Sound", but I liked what I heard and I will pick up their album very soon. The drummer Darren was also a sight to see. He had so much energy and had alot of facial expressions that added to his energy. Great band.

Then, came out these two unknowns that I really didn't like at all. They started off with an alternative version of "Oops I did it again!" that was more stupid than cool. And then they had a 10 minute song that was just keyboard and drums where the girl performer (who was on keyboards) was making dumb faces while the drummer just beat away at the drums.

But then, Panic! At The Disco came out and it was a great show! I know the majority of the songs (it's been a while since I knew the bands entire catalog, so it was nice to feel like a young kid again, studying all the lyrics of my favorite band) The band had great energy, great presence, great use of lights (there were some times where there was one center light on the stage pointing towards the band where it would look like it was a 1920's performance, very unique!)

So if anyone is looking for a great band to follow, I highly suggest Panic! At The Disco. They are a refreshing, unique band that have great songs and just a great sound in general!
