Well, here we go… This is very exciting. My next record dropping in 2027 is complete. I started work on this collection of songs early 2026. There are 10 powerful songs on this album. The first one I wrote was Breakthrough. After that they started coming very fast. Also a theme started to develop both musically and lyrically. Lyrically I wanted to write songs that evoke deep emotions. I think every writer wants to connect with there audience on a deeper level and I really took that on. Musically I wanted to have very interesting cool guitars. I also wanted some great guitar solos in the mix. I mean the kind where I listen back and say, “DAM… I did ok on that one.” lol… I explored lots of new guitar effects and tones as well.
Another area where I grew is in my piano and synth skills. I took a page from Charlie Puth and looked for chords that I might not normally play in a pop song. This was real exploration into my jazz background and my early classical training and studies. This being said, I wanted to do it in a way that was both modern and smooth. If you get to far out there you can loose people. It's one thing if you are playing hard core bebop, and in pop music where you want to be on the radio you have think about all the listeners out there. The real trick is to accomplish this without loosing who you are at the core. And I think I have done this.
Something else to tell you I am using a new distributor to get my music out to all the platforms. I have been invited into the KamaPro family. They will also help to pitch my music for placement opportunities in film and TV. I share more as we get closer to the release date and new developments unfold.
