Hello friends:

As all of you know, the Grammy Awards are the most prestigious awards in the music. industry Well, last Wednesday they announced the 53th edition nominations. After the television show, where they announce the most important nominations (Album Of The Year, Record Of The Year, Song Of The Year, etc.), I went to the website to look at the complete list of nominees. And what was my surprise to see this:

44. Best Contemporary Jazz Album

Now Is The Time
Jeff Lorber Fusion
[Heads Up International]

Guess what that means! Both me and my producer Frankie Biggz  are nominated to a Grammy for our collaboration in Jeff Lorber's album! As you might remember, Frankie and myself wrote and sang 4 songs in Jeff's record.

Guys, I can't express what this means to me, since any musician in the world dreams about winning a Grammy, only being nominated is a great prestige! Can you imagine if we win? Maybe soon I'll have one of these at home...

From here, I'd like send my congratulations to Mr. Jeff Lorber, Mr. Bobby Colomby and all the great musicians that collaborated in this album, and thank you very much for believing in us and giving us the opportunity to be part of the great work.

After all these emotions, I will tell you that I'm in Detroit visiting a part of my family, it's snowing and it's very cold, so you can imagine I don't really leave the house much... lol!

And the truth is I don't have many more things to talk about (as if it wasn't enough to be nominated to a Grammy! wow!), as soon as I get back to Orlando, we'll be finishing the recordings of my second album. I want to show you as soon as possible!

Hugs & kisses to everybody and... cross your fingers for us!
