If you had told me back in January all of the opportunities I would get with my music this year, I wouldn't have believed you. It all started when I decided upon my motto for the year: "Make Something Happen". You see, each year, I come up with a theme or motto to base my entire year around. This year, those three little words kept coming back to me, so I decided to let them frame everything that happened in my life for the next 12 months.
Then came the song, "Make Something Happen". Initially, I was irritated when I woke up singing the chorus and the bridge that I either dreamed or composed in my sleep. When I looked at the clock, it read 5:30am and I had 40 minutes left to sleep. The last thing I wanted to do was leave the comfort of my warm bed to go work on a song.
Still, I grabbed my phone, trudged dreary-eyed to the bathroom, shut the door so I wouldn't wake up my one-year old son, and hit record on my phone.
A few days later, I put some verses and chords to the chorus and bridge, and I had a song.
The song inspired the project, and fast-forward 11 months, and I am getting ready to release a 5-song album to the world entitled Make Something Happen. I am really pleased with how this project turned out and am so excited to release it soon.
This week, I'll be traveling to Nashville for the 4th time this year to discuss some exciting music business opportunities. What a whirlwind, landmark year it's been! I wouldn't have it any other way!
