Lots of big and exciting news to report...

On October 4, Julie and I were married! Pure magic... and we were off for 5 weeks honeymooning including a little jaunt to the U.K. for a couple of weeks (London to Edinburgh to Bristol to Bath and back to London). It was great. A totally wicked and mind-blowing experience. Y'all should check it out one day... :)

Last week, I was invited to participate in "Creative Collective 2002" which is basically a week-long songwriters' summit held at Metalworks Studio in Mississauga, ON. 35 writers from Canada, US, and U.K. were invited to participate. It was an unbelievable experience! 57 songs were written that week - a lot of them I'm sure are destined to be hits. I was fortunate enough to write with folks that have worked with artists like J.Lo, Macy Gray, Janet Jackson, Celine Dion, 3LW, Amanda Marshall, Rod Stewart, Starship, Sugar Jones, Velvet Empire, Justin Guarini as well as some writers that have done major soundtrack work. Kudos to Justin Gray and BigBoom Entertainment for organizing such an incredible event! One cool little story about the week... Rodney Jerkins (www.darkchild.com) was at Metalworks working on a soundtrack in Studio 6 all week. On the morning of the last day, we were in Studio 2 checking out the mix of a track we had done the day before. We were listening to the mix with the door open and Rodney was playing pool down the hall. He heard the track, asked about it, met with Lacey the singer, and asked if he could take a copy of the track home with him to NJ! How cool is that?! :)

Jeigh Madjus' EP "I Am The One" is now pressed and complete. It's an enhanced CD featuring photos, bio and other information about Jeigh. Check it out! The title track is posted in the MP3 section of our website. Jeigh was also asked to be one of the demo singers at the "Creative Collective" last week and earlier this year was featured on the TV show Popstars2...

Scott Celani's album "Them Apples" is being met with rave reviews. He's tearing up the live scene, receiving regular airplay on Buffalo's 103.3 FM The Edge, and has already generated some industry buzz. Check him out live, in the MP3 section of this website or at his website...

poormarqus' "These Machines Are Perfect" continues to generate interest. Marqus recently signed a film licensing deal...

Rapper Lexx Lethal just pressed up the second single we completed entitled "Give It To Me Baby". Very funky "hip-pop" track featuring our own Jeigh Madjus on vocals...

Started a new project with indie rapper Sacha this week. Brilliant and edgy lyrics like Eminem, but with a little "Sacha suave". With Tupac-inspired tracks, look out y'all...

There are some other exciting things in the works. We'll let you in on them next time...

Brent - as of last week known as "duBBle b"! :)
