hello world and greetings from the city of lights!

i know i’ve been quiet for a few months, but know that i’ve been plotting away to make 2009 a spectacular year. i am happy to share with you that i recently signed a new recording contract with the small but fabulously progressive label obliqsound.  due to the fact that one of their main offices is in paris, i decided to come over for a couple of weeks to finish the writing of my new album scheduled to be released in the fall of this year. i am so excited about the new songs and stories i have to share with you, and paris couldn’t be a better place for me to really think about this new world of ours, this new africa of ours, and this new music of mine.

between the production of the new album and the official launch of my nonprofit organization new africa live (which i’m happy to say was recently selected to be sponsored by new york foundation of the arts, a 501(c)(3) organization), i’ve got a lot on my plate this year! i am, however, planning to post a lot of personal journal entries as we move closer to the album release date and before we launch my new website. i hope you’ll check in regularly and leave comments freely.

as always, i thank you for your continued support and i look forward to the journey ahead.
