I recently finished my new album “Violet” which will be out in early 2012 via Porter Records. Making this record has been such a incredible journey for me and I have been so blessed to work with so many great people and have gotten so much support. My good friend and musical partner Anthony Valadez stopped by the studio with Junior (owner of the Record Breakin’ label from Philly) for the last live recording session for the record on July 8th, 2011. This session was with Joshua Lopez, Sam Barsh and James Williams and we recorded two songs that are very special to me for the album. I couldn’t be happier with how the tunes came out and Anthony was able to capture some great shots throughout the day.
