Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

My last post was about the Lakers' epic game 7 victory over the Celtics. This one is about the event that took place in Downltown Los Angeles right by the Staples Center. I only live 10 minutes away from L.A. so I went to the event they were having and man was it awesome! I actually got interviewed by a few news channels that was aired live. Here are some videos I took of the event...

KTLA Channel 5 thanks Vinstigator for giving them an interview about the Lakers' game 7 victory....

Here is a video I recorded after the 2010 Laker Parade was over. As soon as we went on the air, everybody started chanting "Boston Sucks"! I wonder if they had a live feed to Boston?

Here's a video of me and the beautiful Adult Film Star "Lolipop"

And here is a video of me shaking hands with KCAL Channel 9 and CBS2 news reporter, Mark Coogan. Check out his bio here...

Lakers have done it! They've won their 16th title and got revenge for their loss against the Celtics in 2008! Fisher, Artest, and Gasol were definitely the heroes of the nightt! Especially those clutch 3's by Fisher and Artest! This is definitely the sweetest championship victory in the Lakers' history! I had confidence that this would have a Hollywood ending and that the Lakers would win the Championship... and they did. Man was it an awesome game. It came down to the wire! People will be talking about this game for years to come. so to celbrate their victory, I have released a new song to the audio portal called "Bout The Hustle". Check it out...

A flash animator from Newgrounds made an animated music video to my first single entitled On My Mind. Although the submission was overshadowed, it has gained a lot of popularity among some higher ups. I showed the A & R's at Rep Recordz the music video and everybody loved it, especially the sound engineers. Anyway if you guys haven't seen it, check it out...

Oh and so far I'm loving loving how the NBA finals are turning out. With the series tied 2 to 2, anything can happen. Although the Lakers lost tonight, I have a feeling they'll win game 5 and then end it in game 6 at the Staples Center. Anyway if you wanna discuss the NBA finals on Newgrounds, here's the official thread...

Expect an awesome game this Sunday...

Yesterday I went down to Rep Recordz headquarters to record some music. Instead, we ended up chillin' and just having a good time. We were also talking business as well. I had suggested we hold an event every Saturday since we have a lot of space. I was explaining how everything should be setup and everyone loved the idea, especially the CEO. We're gonna build a stage and have some awesome surround sound. Also we're gonna have a caterer make some awesome food and we're gonna have a Barbeque as well. We recently got vending machines so drinks are taken care of.

I spent all day down there just chillin' with all the cool people. Me and the security guard were browsing Newgrounds and I was showing him all kinds of different flash animations. He really loved Super Mario Crossover and the Vince Trigger series. Also the CEO bought a Bearded Dragon that day. Man he looks awesome and he's pretty fast too. So all in all, it was a pretty chill day. I look foward to the events we'll be having soon. I'll be performing various songs at the event including Don't Really Wanna Know and On My Mind.

Anyway, here is the video of me chillin' with the Rep Recordz staff. In this video is Vinstigator (sittin' in a chair next to the CEO who goes by the name H$), two of our best sound engineers (one is playing the drums and the other one is talking with me and H$), Tricia (one of the A & R's) and of course, the beautiful Bailey (she's the one who discovered my music). They're also talking about giving me a distribution deal once my short term contract expires in November. Anyway, I'll continue to keep you guys updated. In the meantime, check out the video...

Well I went to Rep Records' headquarters a couple of days ago to record a new song. After I was finished recording, they recorded a video of me talking about the session I had. They posted it to their official youtube channel and I posted it to mine as well. I go into the studio every single week to record new material and I'm loving every minute of it. Their sound engineer really knows what he's doing. Also, their mixing and mastering is top notch.

In other news, my friend and fellow recording artist Heatt sent me a new track that will be my next official single. There's already a hook on it so now I just gotta record 2 verses and the song is complete. Our last collaboration was pretty popular. This new collaboration is better than our last. To hype up our new single, I made an SWF file of one of his recent singles. This is to get an idea of what our track will sound like.

Anyway, I'll continue to keep you guys updated. And thanks for all of the continued support!

Well as you all know, I went to the studio on Cinco De Mayo. No parties or Barbeque's for me, just strictly recording music all day. So anyway, Rep Recordz recorded a video of me in the studio and they posted it on their official youtube page. I also posted it on my youtube page as well. I've got a lot of work ahead of me in the next 6 months. I go into the studio EVERY week to record new material. I'm actually collaborating with a few artists right here on Newgrounds. I'm working on a song called "Sick of It" with my good friend Lejin. It's a collaboration we've been meaning to do for a while, we just never got around to it until now. Anyway here's a preview of the track...

Sick of It (Incomplete)

Anyway I'll keep you guys updated. In the meantime, check out the video of me in the studio...

I just released my new single entitled Never Giving Up to the audio portal, so check it out and leave a review. Also one of my songs was recently used in flash movie that won a daily award today! You can watch that movie by clicking here. The way he incorporated my song in his movie was very creative.

Also, I just recently signed a short term contract with Rep Recordz. The contract expires in 6 months but if they see that I'm consistant and dedicated, they'll offer me a long term contract. They've already provided me with beats so now i just gotta write to 'em. The CEO wants to see how creative I can get with the songs. So far, everything is going great.

Anyway, Here is a virtual tour of the studio. The A & R rep who is recording the video is the one who discovered me on myspace and set me up with a meeting with the CEO. I thank her for giving me an opportunity like this. I actually go into that same studio next week to record a new song I'm writing. Expect big things from me this year...

Earlier this week, I had meeting with a Record Label over here in California. They contacted me through myspace and set me up with a meeting. So we talked business and I liked what I heard so I signed a short term contract for 6 months. I wouldn't have signed the contract if I didn't like the deal they were offering me. If they see I'm consistent and dedicated, after the 6 months I can decide if I want to sign with them on a long term basis. They'll pay for everything including music videos and distribution. They're not asking for a percentage so any profit I make off album sales goes directly to me.

Also the CEO of the company just bought a limo, so we'll be going to our shows in style! Right now I get access to their professional studio, a bio, and a photo shoot. Basically I get access to everything. I just couldn't pass up this offer! They have a very professional studio setup and everybody on the label is cool as hell. Anyway I go back next week to meet a producer who will produce 3 original tracks for me. In the meantime, check out this video of an event they put together in my hometown of West Covina...

Today I turned 27 and I feel great! So far the day is going good. I'm gonna hit the gym later tonight then head to the studio to record. Yup even on my birthday I can't rest! I have big projects planned for this year. My music will be featured in the upcoming flash movie "MegaPlex 30" which will be animated by my good friend Scott Torment and features voice acting by Tom Fulp! One of my songs that will be featured in the movie is entitled On My Mind. As you can see from the first review, Scott has confirmed that this song will indeed be part of the soundtrack. So everyone reserve your ticket while you can because so far the ticket sales have far surpassed Avatar's!

I wanna thank you guys for all of your support and encouragement. Without you guys, I wouldn't be where I'm at today. 2009 was definitely a good year for me. I released two new songs entitled Don't Really Wanna Know and On My Mind. If you guys haven't already, go take a listen and leave a review.

Now that I've got a brand new laptop, I've installed flash back into it (or in my case SwishMax) and am ready to make my return to flash animation. I'm actually doing voices for an upcoming flash movie which also stars Tom Fulp. It's gonna be called "Megaplex30" and should be released soon. Anyway expect some big things from me in 2010! And stay tuned for Megaplex30!
