New Album

I have started compiling the music for my next album which will be released towards the end of this year on Porter Records. I am really excited for all the new music and even more excited to be working with so many great people. For this album I decided to ask a bunch of different people to produce various tracks with me and I also am going to be and have been writing and recording with lots of different people for the tracks on the album. In my life right now I am getting the chance to write and perform with so many great artists and I wanted to showcase all these sounds and people on this new album.

So far for this album the people that I have confirmed that I will be writing or recording with on a track are:

Elan Atias (from the Wailers), Graph Robel (From Idle Warship), Anthony Valadez, Joey Dosik, Amy Kuney, Anna Wise (of Sonnymoon), Sam Barsh, Maiya Sykes, Dexter Story, Gabe Noel, Joshua Lopez, LP (RedOne’s newest writer and recording artist), Nick Maybury, Yonatan Elkayam, and Alex Carapetis (NIN, Phoenix)

There will be many, many more special guests on the album and lots of amazing instrumentalists blessing the various tracks with their talents; as well as more guest producers for the various tracks.

I will keep everyone updated on the progress of the album and I will be releasing a few new tracks very soon as well as some special mixes that I am doing with some very incredible DJs.
