TWO SHOWS coming up in the Ithaca, NY area. I'm glad to set the semester off right!!! Check it:
This tuesday night, January 18th, I'll be performing at a frat party at Zeta Psi with Boston's Cam Meekins, he's got tracks produced by Matty Trump and has collaborated with Chris Webby and others. He frequently plays shows with some rocking artists. So we're going to rock the frat house. Looking very forward to it. An open party for Cornell students, so come through and check it out!

I've got a show in the city of Ithaca on Thursday, January 27th, at Castaways!! with Kosha Dillz and Shinobi Ninja! This is the first show to kickoff their national tour together, and I'm happy they're coming through to rock out in our city. I met Kosha at Bamboozle last year.. I've heard a ton about Castaways all semester. It's a rocking venue, apparently, so COME TO THIS. Even if ya aren't from Ithaca. I'd love to see upstate people there! The show is only $7, doors open at 7pm, and here is the address for mapquest purposes:

So, first off, I'd like to give props to everyone who came out to NJ at the School of Rock, and then Doc Fry in Warwick a week later, both were a blast in their own way. It was great seeing my hometown people as well as my people from farther out. And gained some new fans in both regards. You guys rule. Furthermore, got great reception on all the new material I played and debuted. Apparently, it rocks harder than my stuff ever has before ("rocks" having a variety of meanings). Some of it to be released, some of it perhaps not. Still making those personal decisions. GET PUMPED
Secondly, now that winter break is done, I can reflect on it a little bit. Mine was quite the trip. Got some head space after first semester. Got some free time to thoroughly focus on new music, and definitely got some quality time in Nico Marchese's basement rhyming over and scrutinizing drum breaks and melodies. We've both developed a TON as artists since "Senioritis" and it's a pleasure to be working together again, using the new skills and lessons we've gained to really create the best material we can. I've written like, 20 songs since the semester started. Probably more. Some collabs and some poems, as well. Most of these, I'm going to keep to myself (and probably play at shows here and there). But eventually, I'm going to drop the best of the batch on ya. Get a hard hat. Be prepared. Stay tuned for updates!
I got to see some old friends and hear from some people I hadn't spoke to in awhile. Got to chill without having homework for classes. It was a nice feeling, obviously. And got to sit back and think about my plans for the future. Which are not-so-obvious...
Thirdly: here's what I've got for ya. Something long awaited, long long awaited, and soon to be described with more updates and a specific date and details, but the "Old Armor" official MUSIC VIDEO will be released in the near future!!! Edited and produced by Justin Scutieri. Tons of shots of..... well.... you'll see! My first real music video. Too excited. It looks incredible and says what I want it to say. I cannot wait to show you. More info to come, very very soon.
