Good afternoon America,
The "BIG Is" is tired. I'm beat, like Rodney King. Let me tell you why. I've been at CubeVision everyday from 10:30am until around 4 or 5pm then heading to Burbank on the train working in the studio until around 3 or 4am, which is a very nice facility by the way. On top of all of that I've been rehearsing for this acoustic set I'm playing this coming friday. Peep this America, the gig is at a fashion show. I'm playing a gig at a FASHION SHOW in Hollywood, CA. Maybe only the guys got it, but since I'm a nice guy interested in the entire commonwealth understanding the life and times of The BIG Is I'll say it like this. THERE WILL BE LOTS OF MODELS ON THE PREMISES. I don't know, I might be the only one excited about that...

Good morning America,
Once again The BIG Is has been working tirelessly. I went to the set of Ice Cubes new movie this past Thurs. You'd think it would be fun, wellllllll it wasn't. it was just as boring, if not more boring than sitting in a biology class, learning about animal body parts. but since it was sssoooooo boring I'll talk about something else.... I also had a show this past Thursday (June 28th) at a really dope spot out in Santa Monica called the Temple Bar. So, of course I was showing off. I couldn't help it. There was eye candy everywhere. This one girl in particular was in the crowd staring at me the entire 50 minutes we were on stage...(gimme some of that groupie love!!!). but seriously I played a good show and the director of publishing at SESAC gave me his card and told me to give him a call on Monday, but me being the person I am, I haven't yet picked up the phone...what else???...Tonight I have a session w/ Darryl Anthony...a really super dope songwriter, and Eric Seats... platinum hit producer (for the ones that didn't know). I'm kinda excited and nervous. Both of these guys have been in the music industry for years working and for whatever reason they wanna work w/ me. YIKES!!! On the 13th, which is......next Friday w/ the same artist (Chrissy Depauw)...man! she got a body like...well nevermind. Anyhoo, it's an acoustic set so it's just me and her. It's at The Avalon...some spot on Hollywood Blvd. in Hollywood. Debbie might be able to make it 'cuz she might still be in town. Charlie might come too. (heeehheehheeehheee!!!!). Until next time America...
P.S.
look out for the shows on youtube.com...they're coming soon (hopefully)
Love, Music, Groupies

Week 3
Yo America,
As usual I have been very busy w/ my internship and the rest of what I do in LA. I mentioned before that I am working w/ a very very talented young lady. Her name is Christine Depauw...we call her Chrissy...anywayz, if you don't believe me go to myspace.com/chrissysmusic. She was really impressed w/ the work that I did for a certain Universal/Motown artist back in Detroit that she asked me to be her Musical Director. I gladly accepted that position knowing that he bassist just got off tour w/ the Players, and her Cello player is r&b artist Jon B's brother. I have my first show w/ her at the TEMPLE BAR this coming thursday, June 28. Later on in the week I found myself at Studio 56 w/ the manager and A&R rep. for producer Neff U (thanks to Warren Griffin). Neff U has done records for Eminem, Jay-Z, 8 Ball & MJG, Westside Connection, r&b artist Brandy, etc...what else?...I've been working w/ someone that's currently working on Brittany Spears new album. This person wishes to remain anonomous so they shall remain nameless...From Tuesday to Friday I've had a session everyday until around 4 or 5 am w/ the super hot group called the Ghetto Blasterz (Transformers), getting back up at 8 am to be at work on time is a B@#$% #@& &%^#@%)":{!!!. It's almost literally a 24 hour grind!!! Speaking of work I'm taking Spanish lessons from this very hot intern from Uraguay. She is sssooooooo HOT!!!...she has these blue, grey eyes and super nice long dark hair. and her accent!...OMG!!!...Work is great too. I'm something like a Rk'str...(thats rockstar for the impared). On another note, Ice Cube is shooting a movie and I get to go to the set this coming week and hang out. Super cool right???

Week 1
I'm very very sorry America. I should've been in contact w/ u sooner than today but in my defense I've been taking care of BI (thats business, for the people that don't know). I'm still very busy so here are the highlights: I'm the director of the A&R Division of Lench Mob Records (Ice Cubes label) something that I did not plan on happening to me,which has has turned me into a workaholic, and a better person. More responsibility forces u to focus more. I'm working w/ this artist from London and this other artist that has a voice like nonother (and she is super hot!).
Tune in next time for more from...The "BIG Is"
