November Updates

Happy Halloween!

This next month is going to be pretty exciting. We’re hosting our Nivo Deux release party in Palm Desert November 20th along with a Q&A. I’ll be posting more information about that soon!

We’re also gearing up for Teen Jazz‘s second 12 Deals of Christmas. Last year the program had great response so we decided to do it again.  We’re putting together our partners for this year’s event, so if you want to see anything in particular, or if you would like to partner with us this year, please let us know!

This year I’m also participating in NaNoWriMo (so don’t be surprised if I don’t post often this month). Wish me luck and if you’re participating too, be my writing buddy!

Ps…. It’s never too early to start Christmas shopping! During the month of November, I’ll be offering my albums at 2 for the price of 1. I’ll post the link soon, but in the meantime, you can check out the music here.

 

 

New Single! U-Nam feat. Nivo Deux

We’re really excited to announce our new single. It’s “C’est le Funk” by U-Nam introducing Nivo Deux and it just became available this morning on CDBaby. It will hopefully be available on iTunes and Amazon later this week.

You can check out a soundclip of “C’est Le Funk” and more here.

Interview this Thursday!

This  Thursday from 3-6 PM PST we’ll be doing an interview on the Blake Aaron Radio show!  You can tune in any number of ways: on 88.5 FM KSBR, Cox Channel 967, or streamed over the internet on ITunes or KSBR.org.  As part of the interview, we’ll be premiering a new song, so be sure to tune in!

We also might play a song or two live!

In other news, I just recently finished recording a track for a charity album being produced by one of my endorsement companies. Vibrato Saxophones is currently putting together a project featuring several of their artists to help support music education in Thailand. Each of the songs on the record was written by their King, King Bhumibol Adulyadej who also happens to be a saxophone player and composer.

It’s been an absolute honor to be a part of the project. The tune I recorded is called “Lullaby” and hopefully there will be a clip up soon.

I also wanted to let you know that both of the books that are available on Teen Jazz have been updated! Advice for Young Musicians has been updated with advice from our latest interviewees (with one new chapter) and The Album Checklist Bundle has been greatly expanded! It is now 54 pages instead of 27 and has two new chapters. Advice for Young Musicians is free while The Album Checklist Bundle is only $1.99.

Lastly, I’m officially an author on Goodreads! I’m pretty excited about it. You can check out my author profile here.
