Hey friends!!!
It's that time again! Welcome to this weeks blog!
This past week was insane! Coming back from break I was exhausted, but this week provided no reprieve! From homework to chillin with friends from outta town to starting up a new intership, there was not many moment of rest. However, I have to say it was worth it.
The biggest part of the week astronaut writer wise was friday's concert. I performed at nyack college this Friday as part of a Haiti benefit concert. I cannot explain with words how amazing the concert was! Words could never do justice to the electricity in the gym as I took the stage! The crowd was fantastic from the get go, and I think most of the people present hadn't seen me perform before. I was blessed by the warm welcome I got despite being the first act of the evening. I dedicated a Chris brown/ TI cover as my first song, which got everyone on their feet. From then on everyone was hooked. People were dancing and singing and seemed to be supreme engaged.
For my final number I played a song that I wrote several years ago, but only performed recently, entitled break me down. During this song the entire gospel choir joined me in singing and gave the song a whole new dimension! I just may have to record them haha.
After my set as the astronaut writer was finished I enjoyed several airband performances as well as the musical stylings of Christian Evans and levitical sound.
Then came the last set if the evening, Ms Christina Love Lee. I performed with her as part of an impromptu band that she threw together moments before the show with the instrumentalists from levitical sound. Christina totally owned the stage for the whole set, and had the audience out of their seats and singing along. I haven't had that much fun playing with a band since the days of The Fallen. That kind of chemistry musically is uncommon, and I am still stunned by how strong it was on Friday!
This week should be more relaxed in The Astronaut Writer camp. The only thing on the slate is recording this weeks YouTube videos and working on some new songs and poems.
Feel free to hit me up with questions, comments, or suggestions for my YouTube videos! Lookin forward to hearing from you!!!
