It’s been 2 years since I decided to throw money time and effort into releasing my first album titled All God made you be. Last 5090 & lst 2 Fawm's I focuse on the Flip side of the album Basically beautiful. I released this on Fathers Day 21/6/2021

Like most musicians this landed me with a hole in my bank account not compensated for in my cdbaby account for plays on iTunes Spotify and Amazon.

So was it worth it...... Absolutely!

It was never destined for best seller status. But I believe it was the best I could create with the love time and resources I had available.

My kids kind of like it in that awkward way .... that dads a little bit old fashioned jazzy songs are not quite the in thing!

My sister says with a wink it was worth it even if it was just for her kids.

My wife opened her copy of the double cd on our 21st Anniversary 1/5/2021 and approved the release

I had to burn cd’s cause in my time we listened to albums. 10 to 15 songs by the same artist in a row the best and the worst of songs hung together in a Title with a thread or message. Somehow I battle to get that in the modern playlist world, though I’m sure you could create it in the same way I used to make mixed TDK cassette tapes for my girlfriend. (Now my wife)

Some of the songs for Basically Beautiful were included on All God made u 2 b but It was great to add 6 new tracks to the Girls Side!

This FAWM I wanted to work on a Wild Precious Life Theme. Collaborations about living life to the fullest! My Hero JESUS said He came that we may have Life to The Fullest! I'd like to explore what that looks like to all the different people & personalities He has placed in my circle of influence. If you see anything you'd like to collaborate on feel free! I tend to dump lots of Lyrics and take way too long to explore melodies!

Happy 5090 Everyone!
