Posted project update #3Thank you!!! We did it!!!
Post CommentThank you all so much for your pledges! We hit the goal!!!
I will be working to finish the album in the upcoming months and I'll be posting updates as I go. In early 2010 I'll be touring with Chico Mann, Ocote Soul Sounds, & Antibalas. In between, I'll be finishing up tracks I've begun and writing new ones.
Please feel free to pass on the Chico Mann Kickstarter Project link to others that may be interested in pledging and being part of the family.
Now that the minimum goal has been met, the Project remains active and viable. I hope to continue to raise funds through this Kickstarter Project in order to secure all of the professional services to make the release a success. That includes Mixing, Mastering, Pressing, and PR/Marketing.
Its a big undertaking as an independent artist, but we've shown that its not impossible to pool resources and talents in support of the music we love.

Posted project update #2Ayyy, Chico!!! You're busy...

Here's an update on things Chico related:
Getting ready for our show this Saturday at Public Assembly in Brooklyn. Its shaping up to be an epic night! We'll be performing some new material, etc.
Been working on videos with friends! All the links are below. The video for Dilo Como Yo was something I really had nothing to do with and was made without my consent, but its cool and well-done! The latest one is for Ya Yo Sé. It was made with found-footage transfered from VHS tapes purchased at yard sales! Produced by LeArsenalAV.
Recorded a promotional track and shot a commercial for Rockstar Games' Beaterator, a new music software game. The track and video will be released soon, so I don't want to steal their thunder. Its very funky and it features me sampling from myself...go figure!
As for Trickster for Kids...been talking to a friend about how to effectively fund it through Kickstarter. She's advising me to make it more personal and let people know that I am really an independent artist. I'm not funded by any label or organization. I make music in my own home studio, fueled by love and a never-ending obsession with harmony and syncopation. I'm my own manager, booking agent, label, PR/Marketing person and so on and so forth. I'm very excited to see that interest in what I do is growing. Its a blessing to be able to make music for others to enjoy.
Much love,
