BEFORE WE GET STARTED…
Today is the first day of the family reunion, I’m so hype to have you here! You could be anywhere else, but you took the extra initiative to connect and create a community of music lovers - and for that I’m forever grateful.
So much time and energy has gone into creating a transparent experience that allows you to immerse yourself in the music like never before. Day by day, song by song we will take a deep dive into the creative process of my new album “Life Goes On”. I challenge you to slow yourself down and really engage with the art. Trust me you won’t regret it.

“Life is beautiful, black is beautiful - that’s no hyperbole see the love it’s rooted to. Challenged myself to see the world for what it is, they using fear to profit off our differences.”
BEHIND THE BEATS
“It started from a sample. Normally we would go in and change it up a bunch, but we heard it and it was just perfect. ”
In The Studio
A project is never complete until Ashley Jay is able to bless a track! We just have such a great chemistry and working relationship that’s developed over the years.
During the pandemic it’s been tough to get in the studio with as many artists as I would like to, but I was so happy we were able to make this one happen. Studio sessions with her are always fun and refreshing. Just like seeing a cousin you ain’t kicked with in a minute.
Here’s a clip of her adding vocals to “Open Your Eyez”. Chico was in the process of moving the studio to another location, hence the lack of a door on the booth.
