Goodbye 2010...it's been great!

Wow! This year has gone by so quickly, but they say time flies when you're having fun. When I look back over the year, it's amazing to me how many great things have been packed into 365 days and how those days compare to the prior. All I can say is that I've been tremendously blessed. Here are a few highlights:

1. I was honored to perform with Kenny Wesley as a feature at the legendary Blues Alley in Washington, DC! Thanks Kenny!
2. I had two awesome opportunities to perform at Ben's Next Door in DC as part of Wes Felton's live music series! He was even gracious enough to host my fair well concert the day before I skipped town. Thanks Wes!
3. Performing at Ashford & Simpson's Sugar Bar in NYC was incredible! This was also my first time taking my own band with me on an away gig. Thanks MIHE!!
4. A little more than a week later, I joined my good friend Terrence Cunningham at Bloombars for one of the most intimate sets I've ever done. Thanks Terrence and John!
5. Green Tea and I got to do my first "inspiration session" at a Woodson High School, thanks to my good buddy Jenise Freeman-Murray!
6. Rod Murray must have though enough of my talent to broadcast it to millions of viewers and listeners on Voice of America's Hip Hop Connection. I owe he and Jenise immensely!
7. After months and months of planning, Candace Coles and I finally had a show together at LIV in DC. It was a bad hair for me, but the show went on, and BOY did it! SING CANDACE!!! Thanks Omrao Brown!
8. HardRock Live invited me to be their first artist feature during their weekly jam session! Thanks Eboni Scurloc and Jamil Boozer!
9. High Point High School Choir in Beltsville, MD invited me to make a cameo on one of their pieces for their annual concert! Them some sangin kids! Thanks Ned Lewis!
10. I have performed at Smith's Olde Bar in Atlanta three times this year, once on a "3 for $5" night and the other two on a "BEST OF Night" - one on my birthday and another to benefit the Atlanta Community Food Bank. Thanks for Emily Warren and Nolen Reeves Music for continuing to invite me back!
11. I also did my first festival as a solo artist this year - ARTSCAPE in Baltimore, MD!
12. My fellow "Scorpio Bro" (I know...that was really corny! lol) Shaun H Mykals invited me to feature on Thursday Bliss, an incredible open mic experience at LIV in DC! Thanks Shaun!
13. Thanks to another great supporter and great musician, Marc A Evans, I got to do an event with Banana Republic!
14. Dexter Myers, Mike Ashley, and Nikki Wade were so awesome for having me as the Musical Director for the first Atlanta Indie Soul Mixer! Thanks for the support!
15. Pastors Philip and Gwennis Mosby brought me on as Musical Director at Solomon's Porch Ministries, and it's been a great adventure thus far! Thank you!
16. It was such an incredible honor to be invited by Charlie & Yolanda Dozier to sing at an event for the Lockhart Morgan Foundation!

2010 has been awesome to say the least, and I'm so looking forward to what 2011 has in store! I'm in a somewhat new city and have already jump started a new chapter of my life. Time to "leap beyond the threshold!"
