Thanks Planet for the promo spot. For those of you that didn't know, im half Tongan and proud of it. To make things complicated i was born in Samoa, moved to Tonga when i was baby, lived there till i was 11, then grew up in Hawaii till i moved out to the states. I'm so connected but disconnected with my roots at the same time which is why i'd rather label myself as a polynesian then to say im from one island. I think i just confussed myself hahaha. Just playing, i know what im saying. No discrimination on my part. Im proud to be from the South Pacific!

One love and music

I love seeing videos like these. I appreciate these people taking the time and effort to cover a song of mine. i'd love to see and hear more. let me know if you ever do a cover of mine and i'll love you long time haha, and i'll post it here on my blog. Enjoy and thanks again guys.

Hey guys. Just wanted tell you about the two tracks i posted from artists Maitreya and Nemesea.

Maitreya "SIN CITY". While in New York i got to hang out and work with rapper Maitreya from New Zealand. Real focused, talented, and strong individual. While hanging out with him we of course vibed out with the tunes and came up with a song that fit. This song is SIN CITY. Since that first time we played with the idea Maitreya has released and epic hip hop album called Close To Home and included this track on it along with other great songs. You have to run check out his album i swear you'll dig it. Theres tons of flavor, culture, and talent on that disk.

A little tip from me on getting this track if your interested is going to this link here:
http://www.sellaband.com/shop/artist/maitreya/downloads

Its 4.00 and any place else it'll be 8 bucks and up so you can beat that. Also 3 of the tracks there are free if you just want to wet your feet with it before getting it.


Nemesea "The Way I Feel". Very awesome song! Great melodies and song writing. Nemesea wrote the song and was so kind as to let me sing the verses. If your into Goth Rock you'll really dig their album. This is probably as chill as they get. This song has been featured on a number of Dutch TV shows and on Radio...I feel real lucky to have been asked by this talented band to join them on just a powerful album. I personally like the end of this song as you can really hear my full voice and range. Check it out :).

The Same tip from me on this album as well. Get it here and save some money and still equally help out the artists.

 Today i woke up to find that CUBWORLD can now be found on amazon.com in the US! I’ve been on the amazon in the UK for a while now and have been getting pretty good reviews but it means a lot to me to be found in the US as well and to be able to make my way into the local and national scene.
 
I’d like to invite everyone who reads this blog post to drop into the link below and if you take some time out and write me a nice :) review there that would make my day. Pleeeease :)
 
Great way to start off the week.

Here’s the link: http://www.amazon.com/Step-Lightly-Create-Out-Loud/dp/B0012X2J6M/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=dmusic&qid=1206968227&sr=8-1

Wadup y’all. So just droppin in to get you some updates on my merch. At www.cubworld.cc there is a link to my Online Store. Sales have gone pretty good and so far i have been manning the stations and sending the merch out myself. With concert season upon us im am getting stretch a bit thin and my supplies are as well. In answer to this situation i will be directing all buyers to a couple other places to get my merch.

Sellaband.com is the label that owns my debut album and they have access to the big manufacturers so from now on please order your hard copy of my CD at: http://www.sellaband.com/shop/artist/cubworld/ 

There you can order my album for 10.00 for a limited edition as well as in a jewel case for 15.00

Also on the that same page if you scroll down you’ll see you can buy MP3s there for just 3.50. No better deal then that anywhere else. itunes is 9.99 and plus on that Sellaband page you can actually get 3 of the tracks for FREE so its worth a look and you’d be helping me out believe it or not even if you did just get the FREE tracks.

I also have a Demo (the Sample) album that i have on www.cubworld.cc but i would like to direct you to: http://cdbaby.com/cd/cubworld there you can only get the MP3s for 5.00. Its also on itunes but its 9.99 on itunes.

Hats are sold out and i don’t think I’ll have time to make more till next winter.

The only thing left in the store which i will be selling will be my art and my shirts. The shirts are limited as well and once the last shirt is gone i will never be pressing that design again so if you dig it grab one at www.cubworld.cc

This is some FYI for ya. I have an awesome ipod (thanks again for it Big Al) and i love loading it with videos and songs. I spend a lot of time on YouTube and i spent enough time to where i just HAD to figure out how to get those videos on my ipod LOL. Check this out.

http://vixy.net/

Get on that website and see how it works. The Best way to do this is to have two windows open. Have one that is tuned into your favorite videos and one at http://vixy.net/.

Grab the URL from your favorite videos and plug them into the site.

Make sure and select what you want the site to convert it to.

Example: MP4 for Ipod
MP3 (audio only) Yup this one will take a video and turn it into a audio file for you.

Pretty cool. All you have to do after converting and downloading it is load it up to your itunes and import it into your ipod.

Happy listening and watching yall
Peace
Jake

So I chose a rather long title for an album but let me explain for a second what its all about to me.

Take it in two. First:: STEP LIGHTLY. This means I'm not here to make crazy noise. I'm not here to step over anyone. I'm not sneaking by or trying to go unnoticed LOL. I'm entering the music world with my arms folded in respect for those who are already here. This is a cut throat industry and I know there are people who will laugh in my face for believing this way. Truth is though that I find more strength in humility and purpose then in unearned pride and fame. Sure I would like to blow up into any scene but one step at a time. Cats put in years recording hits. This is my first work. I'm trying to take it at a nice and steady climbing pace :)

::Create Out Loud. Obviously this is in reference to actually making music and making Art. I know a lot of people that wish they had lived their dreams, wished they had tried to open that business, wished they had tried to become and artist or a musician, wished they had tried to love again...From these people I have taken away a valuable lesson. If you ever get the chance, TAKE IT! I feel that now is my chance to make things happen and the way to make things happen is by being heard a.k.a Creating Out Loud :) I love making music. I write often and gather inspiration from a good number of epic musicians but if I don't record and share with the world, my chances to move forward in music pass by.

be humble and be heard:::Step Lightly::Create Out Loud

Now you know.
