My first single entitled On My Mind is now available on the iTunes music store! This song was actually a huge Newgrounds collaboration! My friend maer808 actually produced the beat for me and released the demo here on Newgrounds. As you can see from my review, I knew this song was going to be something special. This would be our first collaboration, but definitely not the last. I told him that I had a great concept for the song. I told him It would be a love song featuring a professional sounding R & B singer.
He loved the idea and was actually looking forward to it! It took a while because I didn't just want any singer on the hook... I wanted someone who would really take this song to another level. So eventually I found a singer who goes by the name Magic Mike Z. I wrote the whole song (including the hook) and had him sing it the way I intended it to sound. Not only did he make it sound the way I wanted it to, but he actually exceeded my expectations and made it sound even BETTER than what I had originally intended! By adding three part harmonies and all kinds of other things, he really made his vocals stand out.
It took us 2 hours to record the song. It took me 1 hour to record all 3 of my verses and ad-libs, and it took him 1 hour to record the hook. Then it took 1 hour for the sound engineer to mix and master it. After it was completed, I showed maer808 the final product and he loved it! I then told him that I would be getting a distribution deal with LL Cool J's record label and that they would be putting my song on iTunes. I told him that once this becomes big, I am going to hire him as one of my personal producers. I never forget the people that helped me along the way and maer808 was a very big part of this song's success. For that, I thank him.

Thank you for supporting us! Without you guys, we wouldn't have the inspiration to make music. And you know what the best part is? The newgrounds collaboration doesn't stop there! Another friend of mine who goes by the name MrAmature made an animated music video to our song! I had approached him with the idea of a music video after watching his Legend of Zelda movie. I was so impressed with the movie and knew that he could make a good video. But before we even talked about making a music video, he actually surprised me by incorporating one of my songs in his Earthbound Parody. So after he completed the music video and showed me, I was impressed. You can watch the "On My Mind" animated music video below...

So as you can see, there are a lot of talented people here on Newgrounds who made this song possible, and I look forward to working with them again in the near future. I also look forward to working with new artists here on Newgrounds as well. Also before I end this post, I want to give a special thanks to MindChamber for putting me on the amazing hip hop artists who don't get enough exposure list. I also want to thank him for being so supportive of my latest singles that I've released to the audio portal!
He really loved Bout The Hustle and even downloaded it to his phone! That in itself was a huge honor. And even though he's not a big fan of sprite movies, he still thought the animated music video was pretty cool. I Also want to thank Tom Fulp for allowing me to post on the front page and for putting my most of flash movies in the Chrono Trigger collections page! And of course I want to thank the fans who have supported our music! Without Newgrounds, this collaboration would have never happened. If you guys do end up making a purchase, please leave a review. Feedback is greatly appreciated!
