"VIRAL"

With the release of these new songs, I can’t help but want to tell you about the guys that I worked with as it was a joint effort to bring these tunes to life and turn them into what you hear now. So with that in mind, let me introduce the 2nd single of this project called, “Viral.”

I’ve been blessed over the past couple of years to link up w/ some great songwriters in Nashville. You were introduced to Singer/Songwriter/Producer, Bobby Brinker, in the “Love Back” entry. Bobby and I worked with our good friend Cameron Bedell on “Viral.”

Cam’s talent is undeniable. He spits out lyrics and melodies almost quicker than I can keep up. Mixed with Bobby’s funky and soulful tracks, this track as we went, this song felt like something special even before it was finished. I’ve learned so much from these guys and looking forward to more.

And a big thank you to Jeff Pitzer (mixing) and Jim Falzone (mastering).

I’m excited for “Viral” to be the 2nd single, as it leans into the R&B side of this project. I hope you enjoy it.

A little about the song…

I wrote this song with my producer and good friend Bobby Brinker. Bobby has got rhythm and soulful vibe for days. This guy thinks and hears rhythm and groove in a really special way. It’s one of the first things that caught my ear when we started writing together. And watching him put those thoughts into action on this project has been such a cool experience. Together we co-wrote 4 of the 6 songs on this project.

Bobby had the song idea when we went into the writing room. At the time, it was just the words “love back”. But that phrase started to develop into the concept of putting so much into a relationship, and what you can or can’t get back after it’s over. After diving into this concept laid up against Bobby’s production ideas, Love Back was born. I hope you enjoy it!

And a big thank you to Jeff Pitzer (mixing) and Jim Falzone (mastering).

National Anthem at OKC Thunder

Chesapeake Arena
(Oklahoma City, OK)

Saturday night. 8pm. 18,000 people in the room.

I was graciously asked to perform the national anthem at the LA Clippers vs. OKC Thunder game.

It had been years since I had performed the national anthem for a crowd even close to this size. And honestly, it was kind of a blur until the very end. But sometimes that’s how some of the best performances go, just being lost in it until the very end. So you hope you have some pictures and video to commemorate the occasion.

Special thanks to my good buddy, Chad Taylor, my parents, and other family & friends who were at the game and took some pictures and video. We were able to get some usable footage of the moment. And being able to share the below video link w/ friends and fans on social media was really special too.

It was a great first time back performing the national anthem and such a cool moment when thousands of people pause, and stand united in a moment of respect. Thank you Oklahoma City Thunder for having me.
