“Reflections on Making an Indie Album
"My intention was to document my new music and a moment in time, and I hope people around the world will listen and be moved by it, and then talk about it so others will buy it. After extensively researching my options, I decided to focus my initial marketing efforts on developing a radio presence by hiring Gorov Music Marketing to do the radio promotion. The first single, "Mandela," debuted as a #1 Most Added on the Billboard smooth-jazz chart. Now I'm focused on playing live and getting out to promote the music."”
