A quick mix I put together featuring some of the incredible vinyl records I brought home from my recent trip to Brazil.  Brazilian vinyl is frequently beat up and scratched so if the record skip, don't trip.

Brother, Do You Know the Road?

Hiss Golden Messenger "Brother, Do You Know the Road?"

"One Day" is off my newly released Album - In Time, this song was written in the wake of the loss of several family members - all of who passed within the span of 5 years.  It was a rough patch, and at times I still get overwhelmed with the thoughts of their memories, what I did and didn't get to know of them, and just the pang of nostalgia (Saudade). But what has kept me inspired, is that I believe I'll see them again...One Day.  Hope you are inspired to!

One Day

This is the title track of my new album "In Time" (released May 13, 2014). This song captures the essence of what my life and musical journey has schooled me thus far, that no matter how hard we fall, everything comes full circle, we all heal(if we take the time to), grow, flourish to our maximum, create at our optimum, and love at our peak...In Time.

Go ahead...soak in the music....take your time.

In Time

Have we come to the end of the road? Where do we go....from here?  The opening lyrics to this tune say it all...some times the most emotionally packed moments have no answers, and the only solution is to simply let it go.  ...and if the timing is right, maybe we'll reunite!  

Take a listen to the South African township vibes with a touch of gospel and whole lotta heart! Enjoy!
