I recently sent out a bulletin that stated THE NOTEBOOK never had my full endorsement. There are many reasons why THE NOTEBOOK never sat well with me, to many to list. Please understand though that the statement I made was about my own performance on the album. I have had a flood of messages asking if what I said was directed towards Icebox Ent. and Akream. It wasn't. I even lied about this new album having my full endorsement because I am my own toughest critic and I feel like the next one will be a lot better. That's just natural progression.
So let it be known that Akream gave me my first real opportunity to do what I love and recognized my talent when others around him didn't necessarily agree with him. He made THE NOTEBOOK happen and my new album EMPLOYEE OF THE "WEAK" wouldn't be possible if it wasn't for what I learned from him.
With that said EMPLOYEE OF THE "WEAK" is inspired by a 60 hour work week and a job where I just couldn't get ahead, but it is also inspired by my struggles with Icebox Entertainment, lack of Promotion, and Akream as the one I was depending on to make it happen for me. That was my mistake to depend on someone else. Especially when that person is an artist him self with a family and a list of his own struggles. I believe Akream has always done everything he could to help me be successful. What started out as a business venture turned into a brother hood and a friendship. I know I have ZERO control over the way people interpret and react to my lyrics on the track so I guess it is what it is. Just know that Akreams opinion is very important to me and I have asked for his advice through out my new project many times, and will continue make music with him and bounce ideas off him in future projects.
EMPLOYEE OF THE "WEAK" will be released on HOMESKILLET RECORDS a independent music label that is run by some friends I grew up with in Sitka. (homeskilletrecords.com)

I received a lot of feed back and help in response to the street team blog for my up coming album Employee of the "weak".
I soon will have dates for shows from Kodiak all the way to Ketchikan. If anyone else would like to see me perform in your city hit me up and we can work together on making it happen. Some of you may even be able to make a little money if you want to put in the work.

Thanks again

As I jump into the final stages of my up coming album Employee of the "weak", I am getting a street team together to help promote it properly. I can use help in a lot of directions, from myspace promotion to contacts with club owners for shows in your area.
I especially need help with contacts in the North West area when it comes time to promote for shows Because I am so far away and need help getting people in the venues. If you want play a big part in the process we can work on getting some press kits out to you and if you are a promoter already we can talk numbers and make dates.
I get a lot of questions about when my next album will be out so this is a chance for you to play a big part in helping me do just that. Just hit me up and let me know if you can help in any way.. Album due out by the first of the year so this is the time to make it happen.
Thanks for all of your support
