Vlogs, blogs, and songs (yes, I know it doesn’t rhyme).

I have been very busy commuting from Vancouver to the island my entire summer break teaching a heap load of workshops. I haven’t gotten to enjoy the sun much, but then again, I just burn, and I have been loving every moment spent teaching music. In the midst of my crazy schedule, I have been recording music, writing blogs, and planning a ton of future shows/tours to go along with my debut CD which will be coming out at the end of this year.
For starters, I have now become a blogger for Youthink Magazine! Here’s my first short interlude: http://www.youthink.ca/yt/blogs/musical-mind/interlude
And here’s my 1st official blog titled “Time”: http://www.youthink.ca/yt/blogs/musical-mind/time
I will be posting a blog monthly, talking about everything from love, loss, life lessons and a kid named Bieber.
Recently, I performed at a fundraiser raising money for youth in the Comox Valley who are serious about pursuing a career in music to help fund professional recordings/professional videos to help build a resume up for all of them. Most people might not understand the importance of this, but it is something that is so crucial to have. It is my duty to hand pick those who are most eligible for this; this is an incredibly difficult decision as I know a heap full of teens who are incredibly talented and worthy! So, I will be posting more about this as the story develops.
Finally, I have been hard at work recording new music, and will be posting snipets and demos of what I am doing on here more frequently to keep you all engaged and excited. As well, I will FINALLY post another vlog! It is so overdue it is not even funny.
That’s enough for now, and remember to come check out my show August 18 at the Office in Victoria at 8pm! It’s free, so what’s stopping you?
Oh, one more thing. I went into Serious Coffee today to grab my coffee fix, and they had a whiteboard with a “Quote of the Day” written on it. Today’s quote was, “The path of success is always in construction”. They didn’t have a reference to who it was quoted from, but to whomever came up with such a simple yet profound quote, I have one thing to say to you: Thank you.
