Perfection for me is 'being able to be in balance with oneself'.

The most I admire in another person is a) intelligence, b) having the feet on the ground and c) lead by example.

“The much-traveled David G. Cortes is finishing the recording of his first 20 songs for an upcoming debut album, TIME AWAY. Whether in English or Spanish, for the most part Cortes works an airy sound that tends toward bossanova with a supper-club feel. It's light on the ear, mostly mellow and easily digestible. ”

“Hi David, I checked out your song and video "Call To Me". Very nice song, and the nature visuals were wonderful. The colors were vibrant, and there was one area by a river and mountains that I've always thought of as "dream property". Great song, and I would be happy to play it on KILR Radio along with the other two songs you sent me. Looking forward to more music from you. ”
