Finished recording

I'm on the bus right now and I just finished recording my last two songs with donte. These two songs are called "Suda Y Cansa" and "Este Mundo". These two songs are two completely different flavors of my music. Suda y cansa is a club friendly song with a nice melody and beat. Este mundo is a song with a meaning behind it, it'll be a ballad with great harmonies and writing.

I will update you all when I get the tracks in my hands. I won't be releasing these tracks, but they will be available for download real soon!

First Day at Naturex

Today was my first day at my brand-new job and it was grrrrrreat! I was kept busy all day and I loved it. I installed a PC, a local printer, and I also installed a couple of PCs to the network....and I did it from the ground up! I actually cut wires, unwinded them, put them in a jack, connect the PC, then go to the HUB area, patch the network cable, a voila! It was really exciting and I learned alot today. Tomorrow I will be setting up my office voicemail, company email, username/password, and I will receive a blackberry that I'll play around with. This job = awesome!

BB Still on Top!

I forgot to update my blog concerning my recent "fame" on indiemixradio's playlist. They started releasing their playlist and I have been #1 for 2 weeks straight. Last night I also recorded the radio station so I can hear how they introduce my song and I actually got a chill hearing a radio DJ say my name and my song. If you'd like to hear it, visit my myspace music page, the track is up there.

Hip Hop Summit

I was invited by my good friend Donte909 to go to the Hip Hop summit in order to learn a little more about the music industry and where I need to be. It was very informative as the subject of the summit was making sure to save money. They gave information on how to check your credit score for free, what "Net Worth" is, and it also taught me to basically take this music thing as a business and anyone can be independant thank to th internet. So just as a head's up to all my close friends that I will not be giving away free CDs since I am putting alot of money into this and I need to get compensated in return. It's not me being a d*** or anything, it's just the truth. Like the big boys say, don't take it personal, it's just business. But don't worry, I won't make the CD an obscene amount, I'll go over the numbers and try to offer the best price for my product.

I also was invited in order to mingle with people in the music business and hopefully meet someone who will help me further my career. I handed out I'd say 3 or 4 CDs myself to an assistant A&R from Jive Records, a reggaeton DJ, and also a big time promoter, when my manager (Jen) handed out the rest to them to anyone else who looked important. So let's see where this takes me...

Also, I got a nice little wake-up call ayer. One of the CDs Jen handed out was on the floor with foot prints on it. It bothered me and didn't bother me at the same time. It didn't bother me because I had Jen retreive it for me so I can have another CD to hand out, but it bothered me because if the asshole didn't want it, then he could have just said no. But he had to be an asshole and take it, look at it, see my face, and decide to just drop it on the floor. It's cool though, people like that get nowhere in life. Like it would have literally killed him to listen to my music. Like the second he puts it in his piece of crap sound system he calls a car, he will literally keel over and die just from hearing it.

So yea...didn't bother me one bit...

Donte emailed me over the weekend with the pics he took of myself and Jennifer. I thought I would put it up on the blog as an update. I think they came out pretty good.

BB's big night

Tonight is what it's all about...if you recall in my previous post, I told you that I met this DJ, his name is David Diamante. I called him right now and I asked him if he was able to hear any of my songs, he told me that last night he was DJing and the club was just going crazy, so he wasn't able to get it to play, BUT, he said that he will listen to my music today and he will let me know what he honestly thinks of it, and also, he is going to play my song tonight at the club to see what the people think of it. He is going to call me tomorrow to let me know what he thought and also how the people reacted to my music.

It's funny cause tonight is huge for me, but I can't be there to witness what the people think of my music. I would love to be there to see everyone's reaction, but I guess this is what it's like to be a real musician, to have your music play somewhere and you pretty much don't know when and where it's played. I feel a little weird, I feel like a parent in some way. "Escuchame" is a song that I worked my ass off to do (along with my producer) and now it's going out there, into the real world, to either be accepted or denied.

...let's all hope it gets accepted...
