Sun is also an accomplished songwriter in many styles including Country, Dance, Pop, Rock, R&B, Adult Contemporary & Swing.

As an artist Sun initially worked with Robert Victor as 100th Monkey whose approach was Euro/Synth Pop/New Age. The uptempo songs are eclectic electronic Europop post modern disco tinged dance (huh?) while the ballads are New Age/AC. 100th Monkey's spiritual material is on sale here at CD Baby:http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/100thmonkeyrock.

Sun's on air jingle credits include Nick At Nite's famous "Hello Out There From TV Land" campaign, which ran from 1991 through 1997. The 'jewel in the crown' of that campaign "Beautiful Place" won the prestigious silver BPME award in 1992. Other jingle compositions include a number of station ID's for TV Land, "Dey All Over De Floor (The Rug Rats)" for Nickelodeon, "Rockin' Our Dreams" for Club Disney and the banner jingle for PlayHouseRadio.com the (sadly defunct) children's music site. The jingles can be heard on Sun's website in the music section at http://www.sunpk.com/music/menu.htm

Also a talented abstract painter and graphic artist among other things, Sun is a coffee table book waiting to happen. See why at his colorful, unique and often hilarious website and be sure to look for more great music at Sort of Records on Sun's website www.sunpk.com.

A note about the digital aspect: When this album was made several segues between songs were blends that have one song flow seamlessly from one to the next. For some of the songs, when a single digital version is downloaded, this flow will not be present so two of the songs will end abruptly. Those songs are My Baby Makes Me Feel So Good and Move On. We have included single versions of these songs (with fades) on a new page for two new original tracks, Christmas Wish and Passing Parade. Also on this page is a gorgeous cover of the Beatles' I'm Happy Just To Dance With You and It's a Smiley Face World with a short intro instead of the abrupt beginning it currently has as an individual download on this page.
