Hey whats good yáll I hope all is well….I am signing in on a cold cold Sunday afternoon from Queens The snow is a bit piled up outside as I just aim to keep warm here in the apartment.

Being in the apartment for so long I have been going over a lot of the music I recorded this past year out at Breakout Studios. I was really able to listen , dig in and pick out the ones I absolutely love for the album.
(A Positive  Light)

I honestly loved all of the songs but being as though there are about 50 songs I really had to narrow it down & only choose the ones that fit best together and relate the most to the concept of the album!

With that being said the ones that I didn’t pick for the album I will still release at different times – There are about 7 of those tracks that work so well together that I will release them as an EP.
The rest of the music I will release as singles and free give aways!

I am so excited to release and share all  this music…I def feel as though this its most most impressive and self reflective body of work I have done thus far!!!

The Single will be mixed by Rick Friedrich & will soon have a release date.

Along with that we will release a  video by Glass Canon!

Do stay tuned in and keep an ear out for these new releases!

Ok so aside from all that Feb is also an exciting show month for me I will be rocking in Philly and Brooklyn this month.

!.Hey whats up everyone Happy Happy new Year.!

Wow its been a while since I have been on here I guess a few months…& yes a lot has gone on within those few months…Probably too much to remember it all…lol. I will attempt to remember it all and fill you in…I guess the first thing was the month of December which was awesome…it started & ended out with a few cool show.

The first of the shows I did in December was in the beautiful city of Amsterdam! I rocked at a venue called Maxim’s Piano Bar & had a blast.

I went to Holland for 17 days and enjoyed every second of it…beautiful people great energy and met good musicians…I will def be heading back to Holland in the near future!

Once I returned I had a great show out in Wilmington Delaware at the World Cafe Queen an awesome venue and it will was a packed house. I opened for Paul Lewis & his band YNOT it was the 20th Anniversary show – #GoodTimes.!

New years was awesome I went and checked out Philly Bloco who were amazing and kept the whole crowd Dancing all night!

My first few shows of the New Year 2013 were amazing – it started with a Beck Tribute show – About 20 bands did 1 song each off of Becks new album Song Reader which was a blast.

My 2nd show was opening for DESSA which was sold out & an awesome time as well.

My 3rd show was also In Philly at a dope new venue – Underground Arts…I really dug this space and will most likely use this space for an album release later this year!!!

my next show is this Friday up in Brooklyn at a dope venue called The Paper Box I am excited and really looking forward to rocking this spot! I will have my band ( The Recession Proof Band)  with me and they are just as excited to rock out!

The next day I was in West Chester Performing at THE NOTE w/Fear Nuttin Band it was awesome seeing those guys – it had been 5 years since I saw them…we originally met on a Reality show / Tour we did together for Fuse Network!  FNB is an awesome band and I was glad to rock with them!

Hey Whats up Y’all…I hope you all are well. Wow, its been a minute since I have written an update!

It feels good to sit and down and take a minute to exhale and share with y’all – I have been running around like crazy as of late…alot of recording, shows and apartment hunting!  I am in full grind mode right now with this album, I am almost, almost to the end point! A Positive Light is the name of the album, it will have about 15 songs on it and it is a very positive, balanced album, some uptempo some laid back with a positive theme running throughout.

I have put a lot into this album, the recording was done at Breakout Studios in Palmyra, NJ with an awesome engineer Randy Weaver.  The recording enviroment has been ridiculously comfortable and awesome, and has allowed me to capture some great vibes and cut some DOPE vocals.  I am very excited to share this music with you all. I am also working on getting the album art and pics together as well as a few videos. This is my favorite part of the “making the album” process, mostly because it really allows me to be highly creative which in turn creates a lot of positive energy for me.

In addition to finishing the album, I will also be out performing throughout the rest of the summer and I would love for y’all to come catch us live!  I will be in Philly, New York, Delaware , West Chester, Lancaster & Kempton in the next couple of months.  Here are some pics from the past few months –  live performances.

Turks Head Festival – West Chester Pa.

John & Peters – New Hope Pa.

Club Reverb – Reading Pa.

Velvet Lounge – Washington DC.

Come check us at our next big show in Philly at World Cafe Live on July 26th! This night is the official album release show/party for Supreme & The New Experience! A host of talented artists will be performing live downstairs at WCL to celebrate Supreme’s new album release.  Definitely looking forward to this one!

Last week I had the pleasure of performing in NYC at the Bitter End for the New York Singer Songwriter Circle. A bit unconventional from my usual (and louder) live performances with a full band…this performance was an acoustic set with accompaniement by guitarist/singer, Blaqmel. Also performing that night was Lizanne Knott, who sings on the original recorded version of “Clock Tickin’”. Here is our acoustic version from that night!
