Wassap rawkerz!
How's everyone doing? This week's been incredibly busy and eventful. Right now, I'm sitting in the studio waiting to lay down some vocals on the new song I just wrote with my producer, Luigie Gonzalez. It's called "Good Enough." Don't be fooled by the the title though--it's really GREAT! Haha! It sounds like En Vogue or Pink as recorded by Trent Reznor if you can believe it...CRAZY!
This song in particular has been a lot of fun to produce because we blended a lot of different musical genres together. Because Luigie's forte is dancehall / electronica, we've definitely got a 90's-era Chemical Brothers / Dust Brothers vibe going on in the background. And, since I've been listening to a lot of old school rap and urban-edged pop (a la Justin Timberlake) lately, my vocal lines and melodies are very staccato and rhythmic. I think I've really opened up musically speaking since I've been here. I think it's only going to get better from here on out...
Earlier this week, I visited the world famous Rainbow Room and performed acoustically upstairs. It was really nice to do that since I've been locked away in one studio or another for so many weeks now. Not like that's all that bad either...I was at Chalice again the other day and ran into Rob Zombie. I wonder if him and The Spice Girls are teaming up on a record...hey, weirder things have happened...
Well, I gotta go do my thing now, so keep checking back. I'll have some more info regarding my Australia / New Zealand press tour very soon. KEEP IT RAWK!
Peace,

In your face, David Beckham :)
Hey everybody!
How are all my favorite rawkers doing?! Things are great here in LA. I've been doing a TON of writing and recording. In particular, I've been working on the followup song to my single, "Pull It (Bullet)" with my fave producers, Cristian Delano and Mark Vinten. It's called "Round 2," and it hits you like a smack in the face. David Beckham knows this firsthand...
So last night, in a strange turn of events, I end up in Chalice Studios (my last name actually means chalice by the way...just thought you'd like to know) in LA, which is one of THE premier studios in West Hollywood.
I walk in there and this place is SICK!! It's fully equipped with top-of-the-line studio equipment, VIP lounges, marble floors, munchies (what's with studios baking Toll House cookies by the way?)...you name it, they have it. KoRn was in Studio B, and The Spice Girls were recording in the room behind us.
Then, Cristian has me jump in the isolation booth to start laying down some vocals for the new song we're doing with Mark. I start doing my thing and he calls me back to the control room for a second. As I'm opening the door, Posh Spice and David Beckham come plowing down the hallway with their entourage, and I nearly hit David smack in his face. I offered David an apology, and I offered Posh a sandwich. No takers, though, haha! :)
All kidding aside, we had a blast and I'm sure you all will really dig "Round 2." If you like KoRn, Filter, Saliva, and...Ravi Shankar (don't ask), then this will be right up your alley.
In other news, it looks like I'll be heading out to the land of Oz this winter to do some promotional appearances, so keep checking back.
I hope to get your vote for the Blender contest as well. If I win, I'll get recording time at a top notch Vegas studio, a spread in Blender, and a showcase slot at the SXSW music conference in Austin, TX. So, remember: get on the boat and vote :P
I appreciate all your support guys. YOU RAWK! Have an amazing day!
Peace,
AC
