Good Times
So .. i've been busy as hell. Haven't had a chance to update.
Things have been really crazy busy. I've been working my ass off at work and at home on music. I met with the music supervisor for VH1/MTV coincidentally he lives right across the street from where i work. Probably a 3 minute walk.
So i've showed him some of my music and hes really liked it. So im gonna be on board of the corporate music world. Scary..
But ive been writing some great stuff.. i wonder if theres any way to post it on here. Im pretty much doing little 40 or 50 second clips of solid music. And its coming out really well .. its a lot more work than i expected. These guys are gonna pay really well for the music i write. And because of what im doing i need a publisher.
Soooooooooooooo. i met with a publisher yesterday and ive been offered a deal with SESAC. which is a very well respected publishing company. That and the guy i met gave me a bunch of free stuff . Including one of those bags that go over your shoulder.theyre more horizontal than vertical. well yea im a sucker for those. and a bunch of really cool just random stuff that i could never see myself fully using. Im a sucker for that too.
So theyre offering me a good deal i pay them nothing, they just make a percentage of whatever i make.
So its just one step ahead in a musical career. I need to start working on that music for the movie. I just seriously have no time. Someone should give me time. like a cosmo watch like in the fairly odd parents.
My baby is just about ready to pop out. When liz and i lay in bed ill go to her belly and start talking to him and rubbing him and he'll start pushing and touching my hand and my face. i think he likes my voice. We think his official name is going to be Micah Dimitri.
when the music is closer to being done ill post some samples of it if anyone is interested in hearing it.
more news ...
i played a showcase with a group called Detroit Mutant Radio for the L.A. Music Awards. Theyre a hip hop/funk/rock band. I think theyre great and just have a great amount of energy. Will i thought it was just a show but it ended up being a contest to perform the actual L.A. Music Awards. So we got nominated to play. So theres the voting party show on October 12th at the Whisky a go go. Anyone in the area if you could go that would be so awesome. I dont have the time of our show but its going to be Thursday night at the Whisky on Sunset. I guess if we get enough votes were going to play the L.A. Music Awards which should be a blast.

Thats about all for the update now.
Enjoy kids,
