This is a short film I put together about dealing with stress. It's a light comedy and I hope you'll enjoy watching it! Even though the film is about stress, I had a fun time putting it together. This video marks the start of some film projects that I will be doing in the future. The short films will contain all original content by myself and my crew at Soulful & Nice Productions!

I got the results today from the Zenoids Theme Song Contest and I wasn't selected in the top 40. I found out there were more than 300 talented composers who participated. I give us all a high-five for our efforts!! I congratulate the composers who were selected as finalists and wish them the best of luck to receive the title! I encourage you to visit the contest site here to watch the video and listen to the finalists!! Posted below is my theme song entry!

Throughout the month of November, I've been involved in various media projects. So here's the big update!

1.) As I mentioned in a previous post, I participated in the Deuce Radio Promotion contest. I didn't win but I was in the top 10 at number 6! Out of the many musicians that participated, this feels like a win to me. Thank you to all who supported me! :)

2.) The next event I participated in was the "Zenoids Theme music contest." I had to create an original theme song for a new animated web series hosted by renown film composer Michael Giacchino!! I should be receiving notice any day now if I succeeded as a finalist. More updates are posted on the website here! As soon as the contest permits, I will upload my song to my site for you to hear. Wish me Luck!!

3.) Doritos held its annual "Crash the Superbowl" commercial competition. With a group of friends, we produced a commercial for the potential to be aired during the Superbowl in 2012. Click here to view our video 'Hungry Ducklings'!
This is the second video called Dreamoritos that I helped out on set as a crew member.

WOW! The month of November has been full of projects...I LOVE IT!!! This is only the beginning. There are even more projects in the works right now. Updates to come soon!

I've recently entered in a contest hosted by Talenthouse to win exposure on The Deuce Radio Show! I am currently in the top 10 thanks to all of my supporters! There is one day left to vote for me and I'd appreciate your vote! If you have a facebook or twitter account you can easily vote for me while your logged on. If you don't have an account with those sites, you can text your vote in. You can vote for me here! Thanks to all my supports thus far! :)

I was watching TV today and I watched this commercial. I fell out laughing at how ridiculous this commercial is! He is advertising a energy drink that really isn't good for you and at the end of the commercial, "Worx" energy drink is trying to convince you that "Worx" is good for you and works for real. It was a bit contradicting in my opinion. After finding this video on YouTube, I discovered that this man Marty Lempkin does more infomercial spoofs. The other one I like is the "Epic Pass."

I have just released the second Karma Soleil EP online for you all to hear. This one is called Eyes Unclouded. I wanted to delve into the techno world considering this music is a popular genre these days. I also love techno music myself! If you love techno/dance music, I hope you will enjoy mine. I've enabled them all for free download! You can take this music wherever you go. I know this is energetic music that can lift your spirits. :)

I've been writing music since I was 12 and I realized that I have many songs that I haven't released. I have no idea what to do with most of them. So I decided to make a mini video series talking about some of my unreleased songs. I plan to give you some background 'behind the scenes' information on the songs. Because I wrote music at a young age and continued writing up to today, Each song presents its own level of my songwriting abilities.  This is the first session of Unreleased. Click here! I will release a new session every Wednesday.

Some of you may remember the Make-A-Wish month at Cold Stone Creamery from my post last year. They hold this every year in which they give out a free ice-cream creation in September and accept donations. The proceeds will go to the Make-A-Wish Foundation. This year, they will be giving out a Sprinkled with wishes creation free on September 27th, 2011 between 5pm-8pm at all Cold Stone Creamery locations in the U.S. I plan on being there again this year!

I am learning violin and cello!

Believe it or not, when I was younger I always wanted to be in an orchestra. I listened to classical music like it was the most popular genre! Upon learning saxophone and then realizing later that saxophone is not an orchestral instrument, I was a bit despaired; not to mention that many schools didn't have an orchestra in my area.

Now, I'm finally learning violin and cello. The chances for me to be in an orchestra are low but I feel accomplished because I started learning. Better late than never. I'm even learning things about music theory that I didn't know before. I believe I'll be able to score orchestrated music more accurately because I'm learning these instruments. How fun it has been to learn a new instrument. I tell you, nothing compares to this!

Today, I received notice that I've been selected as a finalist in the 31st Annual Spring Photography contest from Photographer's Forum! I entered into this contest because photography is another art I like to do and it's also something I do for my company Soulful & Nice Productions. I'm already excited being a finalist!!! My work has been recognized. I can only hope more good news is to come in the next months. :)
