I can't wait to start work on my next song titled: "The last scar" Lyrics and melody were completed a while ago. I already have an idea of the visual story as well. I just have to finish reaching out to friends to bring some visibility to my current music video: "Tell Me Your Name" before starting with that. ... See MoreSee Less

The first "Like" of the teaser for "Tell Me Your Name" on SoundCloud. THANK YOU Ann! I've been away from social media for quite a while. To get my feet wet, I'm focusing on FB first (and as I have very little free time right now). I'm hoping soon, I can share and connect on other platforms as well. ... See MoreSee Less

After doing some research on music distribution companies, I narrowed the list to cdbaby and TuneCore. It was a close call but I decided to go with TuneCore. I registered with them but to register the #song "Tell Me Your Name" I had to have album art. I got that ready this past weekend and will register that song soon. #music #art ... See MoreSee Less

In mid-April this year, we wrote the first scenes for the music video of "Tell Me Your Name" and started scouting for location and talent.
