Hey guys,

October was a big month of new and exciting experiences!  I will be seen playing myself in an upcoming episode of The Simpsons that will air next year.  I also had my Hannah Montana television series debut on the Oct 18th episode judging Hannah's brother's vocal abilities.  Not so sure about him!   It was great to see Miley at work and I love her new tune. 

And on the more serious side, I was invited to perform in a songwriter's round supporting the Country Hall of Fame alongside Emmy Lou Harris, Dwight Yoakam, Melissa Etheridge and Vince Gill.  I cannot believe the great opportunities that present themselves these days.

I am super excited about the release of "Mama's Song" on Carrie Underwood's forthcoming album.  I'm proud of the work we did together and hope that people are touched by the song's sentiment.  

Cobra Starship's "Hot Mess" is hitting radio now, while my Warner Bros. Records signings, Jason Derulo ("Whatcha Say") and Iyaz ("Replay"), are Top Ten at iTunes and crushing at radio. You can check them out at their respective myspace pages: www.myspace.com/jasonderulo and www.myspace.com/iyaz 

Lastly, one of the things I love most about my life these days is the exposure to new and important organizations.  I was invited to a dinner honoring Somaly Mam for her work helping rehabilitate young women who have been victims of human trafficking.  She is a real-life hero and you should check out her efforts to combat this worldwide epidemic: www.somaly.org.  I think you will be as moved as I was.

Till next time,

Kara  xo
