Recently myself and my crew swung by the Beats1 Radio studio here in NYC for the #Beats1 #SoundsofNY Series! We had so much fun performing some exclusive songs from the forthcoming album, as well as one of our fav covers! It was one of the highlights of my 2016 thus far!
The show aired yesterday evening and I woke up bright and early this morning to catch the replay. As I listened, I have to admit that I got a little misty. It's weird to think about where these songs started and then having them spread and shared with so many people you can't see. It also feels amazing! More and more I'm feeling the joy of being in the moment. I'm measuring my success by the distance I've traveled for my own personal grow. That's the only real thing I can measure. I'm ever grateful for the people who support me, believe in me and continue to so generously give of their time and talent.
Joining me on this performance was the incredible Todd Martino & Granville Mullings Jr. We covered "Hurry On Now" by Alice Russell and performed the original tune "Bird" co-written by myself and Alex Smith.
We also performed two other originals, "Heavy Now" co-written by myself and producer DJ soulplusmind and "Always" co-written by myself and Alex Smith.
Last but not least a HUGE thank you to Ebro, Karlie Hustle and the whole the Apple Music / Beats1 Radio team for the warm welcome and support.
