Here are a few pics from Uppsala, Sweden. It was cold!!!!!! Boy was it cold!!!!!! I’m sorry, but not too many pics of the city. We were in and out and didn’t get to see much. Here they go!
I know this first pic seems kinda random, but this piece of paper has really come in handy. I loose track of days so very easily because we’re constantly on the go!
This is a view of the area immediately outside of our hotel. We heard that the city is pretty much a college town. So there are primarily twenty-somethings that hang in the area. Everything seems modern and hip with a flair of historic architecture.
We had to travel from Lund, Sweden to Gothenburg. It was only about a 2 hour’s drive, but this is a great opportunity for me to show you the tour bus that has become my second home!
The “Tour” has actually begun. First show: Lund, Sweden.
There are about 18 shows in all and this is where it all begins. We had to make an hour’s drive to Lund from Copenhagen, Denmark. I like having the opportunity to ride around in new places because it always helps me to get more acquainted with the land and helps maps make more sense to me. I never knew much about Europe but it appears that all of the countries in the EU are “islands” connected by bridges and tunnels.
Hey guys! The tour has started! So far… I’m a bit tired!! We flew from Atlanta to London, about 8 hours, and from London to Copenhagen which was about an hour and a half. Believe it or not I slept about 90% of the time I was airborne ( Yeah, I have this uncanny ability to wake up right when the lady is about to bring food or drinks and that accounts for the other 10%… trust me, this is one of the greatest gifts I possess). The thing that has me tired is the time difference. There is a 6 hour difference between Copenhagen and Atlanta, so we were arriving when my body thought that it was actually about 5:00am. The key to adjusting to time change is staying up and sleeping with local time…. but yeah that was struggle that I lost. Hence, the first post a day later…lol. Needless to say I’ll be playing catch up.
This is my first time getting anywhere near London so I was uber excited to see this sign. We were only passing through, but I’ll be back next week for three shows. We had a two hour lay-over and I decided to just kinda walk around the airport….
I just wanted to take an opportunity to introduce you to some guys that I’ve had an opportunity to work with. They are a group from Atlanta named Hard County and produced by D. Smith (Lil Wayne, Ciara). They allowed me to put some bass on the track…lol. Check out Hard County… Hip Hop’s new super duo!!!!
JayeBerry and I have some incredible music coming your way really soon. We’re practically living in our studio right now creating new music. One of the artists that we’re working with is Stan Steam. He’s an awesome emcee and he took a moment in casual conversation to chat with us about working with “The Feel”. Check it out!
Hey guys! For those of you that don’t know I’ve recently joined Angie Stone’s band and I have been doing shows with her all over the US. It’s been a great experience and as of Monday 02/22/10, it’ll become an experience that we’ll take over seas to Europe! We’ll be visiting Sweden, London, Norway, France, and Poland over a three week period.
I’m very excited about this opportunity and another chance to see parts of the world that I’ve only seen in books or heard about in the movies! As usual, I’ll try to blog as much as possible and post as many pictures as I can. This will be a great adventure! Stay tuned!
A few posts ago, I introduced you to the production team that I am a part of. Well we’re now introducing new music from our first artist JayeBerry. The single is entitled “DEFENSELESS” directed by Tony Reames. Check it out, let me know what you think.
My heart is heavy from hearing the news of the Earthquake in Haiti on Tuesday January 12, 2009. This country had recently suffered numerous tropical storms that almost devastated the entire area. Because of this and many other reasons the number of people that lived in a state of poverty was incredibly high. The addition of a 7.0 magnitude earthquake to the woes of the area has caused near total destruction and over 500,000 people are feared dead. The presidential palace has collapsed along with many other buildings. The rising smoke right after the earthquake gave me a vision of what the end of the world or destruction of the earth would be like.
This is a great time of mourning for the world. My heart is heavy for the people that have lost their lives and the families all over the world that have been affected. I continue to think and wonder what if this had happened in our city or country? I remember how blessed I am and I am admonished to pray for the people and the families of Haiti. I’m going to make a donation to the American Red Cross and I urge you to help in any way that you can as well. We give because we are blessed.
Around November 2009, I started getting that feeling. You know that feeling – the one that makes sense out of the tugging on your heart and the churning in your gut. The one that boosts your faith and helps you to believe without a doubt that your works will be fruitful…. yeah that’s the one!
The Feel artist: JayeBerry
I’m a cog in a machine called “The Feel”. We use our gifts and talents to create a fun, memorable, reflective, and encouraging aural and visual experience. Our basic premise is that people relate to what they can feel and that no musical experience should be devoid of substance. No gimmicks, just heartfelt, passionate, creative expression in all that we do. » Read more: Introducing JayeBerry and THE FEEL
