Album Notes

Have you ever noticed that when times seem toughest, music seems to get better? I am a song born in Trenton, New Jersey and given the name Ellis E. Phelps aka (E Boogie). William Swann, a lyrical melody birthed in Washington, DC. Joined together with Reginald “Pickles” Phelps by the gift of Rhythm, together we became a completed work.

We believe music is truly a gift from the Creator used to communicate with the hearts of mankind. If you’re careful to Watch and Listen you’ll find that every life (no matter how great or small) from The President Barack Obama to Leonard the neighborhood drunk is a song. Some are just played louder than others and some of us only tune our antennas in to certain stations of life and only pick up selected stations on our life’s dials. I’m Still Here is a project that points to fact that even in the wake of 9-11, Lost Loved Ones, Hurricane Katrina, The Earthquakes in Japan and the War in Iraq, just to name a few, are all disturbing realities that distract us. But if you listen you’ll hear in your favorite songs The Creator saying, “I’m Still Here”.
