It’s been quite an exciting whirlwind lately, and it’s all thanks to The Voice Australia using a song I sang last year, “Different Worlds,” in one of their commercials. It’s a beautiful song written by Steven Stern and George Krikes, and I was honored when they asked me to sing it. When I first saw the commercial, I pretty much freaked out due to the awesomeness. It has since been removed from youtube, but oh was it glorious while it lasted.

It’s so funny…for many years now I’ve been putting lots of little eggs in lots of little baskets, because you never know what is going to be the thing that hits. “Different Worlds” is one of those tiny little eggs that has hatched into a hit on the other side of the world, and the warmth and support I’ve gotten from my new Australian friends and fans over the past couple weeks has been overwhelming. Due to such a demand for this song, it’s now available on iTunes Australia, and in just one week, leapt up the charts. Today I checked and it’s currently 11th, just a Skrillex hair away from being in the top 10…soooo cloooose! Until its available worldwide, you can stream it through my SoundCloud page.

That’s the news! Catch up with me on TWITTER and FACEBOOK for all the latest madness. Ok bye!

After downloading the a cappella from one of my favorite Haze Diaries Vol. 3 songs, LA to JFK featuring El Prez, I wrote this hook and commenced the beat-making. It’s kind of scary to share my 1st attempt at a hip-hop beat with the world, but I’ve always wanted to be a producer and I’m really happy with how this track turned out. You will be able to unlock the free download of “Fields Of Green” by tweeting about the song via Social Unlock. Happy New Year and happy flying!!!
