June 1st, 30 Days to Finish My Album

June 1st is here! I'm excited because I have 30 days to record my album. I already have many of the songs written, but now I get to the recording and mixing of the songs. I've reached out to people on Facebook who want to be a part of the album, so a few will get invited to some of the recording sessions. It's gonna be fun. I get to put out the best material that represents me at this point in my life as a songwriter, and artist. But who cares right?! Oh yeah, you reading this do! This is a great beginning. You won't hear me on huge radio stations, or see me on the major TV shows...(well, if they want me I'll go), but too many artists are desperate for attention. Me...I just want to produce this album, and perform for the people who want to hear it.

Album Design, Album Recording, and College

Good stuff today...confirmed who will be designing my CD cover/booklet. It's exciting to finally be moving towards the finished album. Still a lot of recording to do, but we're getting there. I'm going to be writing new songs all day this Monday, and will be recording them later in the week. And college....(sigh)...I have two classes left and then I'm finished with my Associate's Degree...finally. I've been in and out of college for the past five years...just never had he motivation to finish. But being so close now...I need to finish. Wish me luck...say a prayer. Hit me whenever. jjones@speakezmusic.com

Jan 19, 2010, so I'm....

Finishing the recording of a new demo today, and will start recording another. Many people need records, and I gotta get these out.

About the Folgers, I hit my manager up about it, and also sent e-mails to the marketing department at the Smucker company (they own Folgers). Haven't heard back yet, but will keep at it. We believe the jingle will give Folgers a fresh , young sounding jingle that will cater more to the college the market (let's face it..the ones that could really use the coffee after long nights out, and needing to get up for 8am classes).

Later this week, I'll also be writing and recording a new song to release online myself.

Stay up...
