[VIDEO] Sweet Simplicities – RUXSTEEZ (Ryan Leslie x Talenthouse video contest submission)

This video I’m posting is a beat making video I did for the Ryan Leslie x Talenthouse video contest. You have 5 min to showcase yourself making an instrumental or a full song. Big shout out to my hard grindin’ cuzzo Marco Bercasio for shooting and directing the video. He took a simple beat making video and turned it into an art piece, adding a lot of direction and feeling to it. I’m definitely blessed with a strong circle of supporting individuals. Enjoy the video! PLEASE VOTE @ www.talenthouse.com

As of LATE

Wassup widit. I really suck at updating this thing. I’m in the works of creating a new blog/website hence the lack of posts. So for this update, imma hit yall with few stills of what’s been going on in my life. I’ve been following the philosophy: [Do what you love and success will follow] and I must say, I’ve been fortunate to have many opportunities come to my doorstep.

Battle of the Synths. Roland Fantom G6 vs. Yamaha Motif XS6

I’ve been doing homework on my synths. I ran into my buddy Ed Pasallo the other day, and he plays keys for Philtered Soul, Timeless, and Feelosophy. All of which are hiphop/rnb/soul bands out here in the Bay Area. He was rockin’ the Motif and made me really wanna get my keyboard bars up. I have a background in piano and have been slowly getting back into it. So for my birthday, I have the option of getting a keyboard/synth. Its a toss up between the Fantom and the Motif. We shall see….

Vs.

TWENTY TEN!

Excuse my lack of consistency on the posts. 2010 came in with a lot of energy. New opportunities emerging, new relationships, rekindled relationships, and positive vibes have been coming fast non stop, hence the lack of posts. But hey, here’s one now! Heres a quick recap since the new year started.

-Rocked EVE Lounge (SF) with Boogie Brown (formula DJs) and MistaB (fouronefunk)
-Rocked the house at Temple Bar with Dave Dynamix and DJ Verz
-New opportunities on the rise (possible internships)
-New friendships and new positive outlooks on life.

….and it dont stop.
