"I need you..."
Posted by: levi | View/Add Comment (0)
Let me first start by saying these last few weeks have been amazing! Thank you to everyone who purchased "This Way" and to everyone who has been giving me crazy love on twitter and facebook even on here! Thank you! I don't have the exact number of sales yet, but I think we did pretty good for an album that literally came out of nowhere! Lol! I think we may have started something guys :)
For those who don't know, I've been a full-time songwriter/ producer for about 8 years now. In that time, I've seen music change with the trends of technology much like it always has, but even more so toward a very marketed and demographic based music industry. I can't tell you how many random conversations I've had with music listeners who have all expressed their discontent with the overall quality of most of the music they hear on the radio! I'm not knocking anybody or taking shots because I'm a producer turned artist, and I do understand the business of entertainment. But the truth is when I set out to do "This Way", it was in part an effort to create something timeless. An album that you could listen to for years to come and that would with any luck, be a step in the direction to help change the status quo! So I need you! You have more power than you know. If you love "This Way", and really feel the heart behind it, then tell a friend, spread the word and "who knows maybe we can sell a few ring tones!" (When I'm Rich- track 12) Ha! I know you saw that coming! Seriously though, I do believe we can make history! Thank you again for all the overwhelming love and support!

"Let's Make History"
Posted by: levi | View/Add Comment (4)Happy New Year everyone! I think it's still cool to say that up 'til like March or something! Anyway, with everything sort of happening really fast here lately it's been really hard to get by here and really catch you all up on everything. The thing is I tweet/facebook so much that by the time I do settle down to blog about my day to day goings ons, I almost don't have anything to say. Go figure…
So this Friday Jan 22nd is the big day! "This Way' will be out and of course I'm really excited about that! Itunes, Rhapsody, CD Baby and a host of other cool sites will carry it online. I want to thank everyone again who helped me get to this point. I've been putting a lot of thought into how I want this year to play out and it's going to be a lot of hard work to pull this off. With the state of the music industry the way it is, many feel the odds are stacked pretty heavily against what we're trying to do. However, I have an amazing team and support system in my family and friends who believe it can and will be done! I'm up for the challenge. Plus seeing it all come together is really cool too! I feel like I'm running for public office or something. Earlier I was trying to think up some catchy campaign slogan that I feel fits our cause and because I feel we can I say... "LET'S MAKE HISTORY!" What do you think?? It maybe a little over the top but it kind of has a ring to it :)

So Anxious...
Posted by: levi | View/Add Comment (1)Wow it has been a while! Where to begin?? Well, Happy Holidays to everyone! I trust you all had a good one. My Christmas was great! a much needed break to spend time with family and friends. Oh and presents are always good too! So, with the holidays/year coming to an end, my focus is on the new year and the release of “This Way”! And yes, we have a release date now Jan 22nd it will be available on CD Baby and shortly after that, Itunes! So we will be keeping you posted on that as well. On a personal note I’m good, and I’m ready to do this… I mean I’ve only been waiting for this all my life! I just need to figure out how not to be so anxious…
"We're Almost Done"!!
Posted by: levi | View/Add Comment (1)I’m in a good place right now. A great place actually! I’m anxious but not too anxious. And while I still don’t have an exact release date, I’ve found some peace in knowing that this is just a small part of the process. In the long run, I feel this album is better for it as we are paying close attention to detail with every aspect of it. So I'll say it again...“We’re almost done”! I swear I want everyone to hear this album so bad it keeps me up at night!! Not in a bad way mind you, but that kind of Christmas eve or 1st day of school anxiety/excitement. With that said, since I’ve been in this "place" so to speak, I've had a lot of time to settle my thoughts on me as a person and as an artist. I must say that the artist here before you is a better person than I was a year ago in that these songs now hold me to a certain level of accountability of which I embrace. I think in the process I’ve finally found some comfort living in the skin I’m in. It only took my whole life to get here, but I think I’ll stay for a while…

Posted by: levi | View/Add Comment (2)So here we go guys my first official blog on the site! I’m here in Deale MD with Paris Hollins and Warren Jones proofing some of the mixes. So far, I’m really excited about how things have come together! I’ve got to say as I sit here and listen, I can’t help thinking WOW it’s been a long process in the writing and producing of this album. I think I’m better for it though. We officially started in February and here we are about 9 months later with a completed album!! We’ll have an exact release date soon, but “This Way” is expected be out later this month! We had pushed back the original release date for a few reasons, but mostly for YOU the listener. I really wanted to take my time and do an album worthy of the kind of fans that connect and grow old with an artist.
To that end, “This Way” is where I am right now every last word of it… and because there were so many wonderful and gifted people who believed in this from the start we’ve made it to this point. So I want take this opportunity to thank everyone who really hung in there with me through this journey. For those of you just joining us thank you. I give you my word that I’ll do my very best not to let you down ☺. So tell a friend, sign up and stay tuned for all the updates on the album release, tour dates and other cool stuff…
