This is an update newsletter, fam!
Thank you for all of the love that you’ve shown my recent posts!
The one thing that each of these newsletters had in common was HOURS of research and preparation.
I’m currently working on a newsletter about the state of AI and its encroachment on the music industry.
In it, we will explore a few of the following questions:
Who is this technology for?
Should we be paying attention and learning this technology?
Are we already too late?
How will this change the way I create music?
To gain a deeper understanding of how these platforms (Udio & Suno) work, I will be creating my own AI music.
I will share that newsletter either next week or the week after! Stay tuned!
What Have I Been Up To?
wholesoul
We finished shooting our collaboration with Vi Jordan! I’ll be sharing some BTS footage and photos in the coming weeks! I have a lot of editing to do…
With some help from my friend Anji, the quartet is going through a sprint to build more relationships with luxury event planners and luxury event venues. Our aim is to secure at 3 new preferred-vendor relationships within the next 12 months. Our goal is to increase our ARR (annual recurring revenue) by obtaining retainer accounts with planners and/or hotels.
Performed with Danny Elfman at the Sick New World Music Festival
My first performance in Las Vegas! Danny Elfman brought the whole orchestra out to Vegas and premiered a brand new song on this set.
Performed with Mercer-Macon Symphony Orchestra
I graduated from the Robert McDuffie Center for Strings 10 years ago. To celebrate this decade of growth, I returned to the school to perform with the Mercer-Macon Symphony alongside current students, other alumni, and Atlanta Symphony Orchestra members. It was a homecoming I didn’t know I needed!
What’s Coming Up?
Mini-Vacation
Michelle and I will be taking a mini-vacation to France and Greece for some weddings later this month. My plan is to continue publishing these newsletters every Friday. If anything changes, I’ll make sure to let you know in advance!
YouTube Return
I’m writing scripts for some upcoming YouTube videos. I’m still figuring out the kind of content I want to create moving forward. I will be trying out a bunch of new things before the year is over!
Thanks for reading, as always! I can’t wait to show you what I come up with next Friday!
