The Album "PAST 2 PRESENT" has been a labor of love for me , as I've spent countless time working to produce efficient music for my audience. Many of the songs on the album are from my archives; such as from studio sessions and co-writes that I've always wanted to release, but never had the opportunity to mix and release. My main goal was for my friends and fans to hear the songs that were composed on the spot with my fellow artists/friends. For example, there was a time where my friend, "Kia Babydoll Jeffries", and I were on our way to a studio session driving on the Grand Central in Queens, New York City. In an instant, we pulled the car over and wrote to a Justin Strauss track, that eventually became the song, "Don't Say Goodbye". Another instant arose when Chip Fu from the group Fu-schnickens was in my studio, and he came out with the song "Wanna Know Why". I get such a feeling of euphoria and enthusiasm to hear real talent so spontaneously.
From start to finish, I tried to keep this album moving that my audience would not be bored. Therefore, since I also manage acts, I love to hear what the following generations of hit-makers are doing. Mumzy Stranger from the United Kingdom, has over three million hits on YouTube, and my goal was to make his talent known to the United States. Another talented artist from the past known as Drayz from DAS EFX, . I'm still learning from him every time he creates a new song! His talent is inspiring, and focused . ASWAD, a group with great talents performed in the London Carnival when I was only fourteen. I told myself that one day I would work with them one day, which eventually came true. The song "Street Living" is profoundly relevant in today's world. What a classic group! Look out for new artists like the talented pop singer Livia K, actress/singer Sarah Hyland from the award-winning Hit TV show "Modern Family", and many other artists that made this album what it is now. This album is my way of saying thanks to all the talented people that I have met and have had the pleasure to work with. Now press Play & Enjoy
