Hey everyone, what’s up?  Hope you’re all enjoying 2012 so far.

Check out this album I put together called, Food For Thought.  Just a bunch of quotes & thoughts to hopefully inspire, encourage, challenge, intrigue or humor you…  Click on John Mayer to check it out.

Against The Wall is the most personal song on my EP, Epitome.

Anyone can relate to feeling like they’re against a wall in some way.  Whether it’s in a relationship, school/work, financially, spiritually…  But there’s always hope.  That’s what this song’s about.

Here’s the lyrics video, hope you enjoy…

Big love…

Halfway through my holiday break in New Zealand, just thinking…

It’s so good to get out of your environment & what you’re used to most of the time.  You’ll often find that when you do, it can be the breeding ground for clarity, perspective & inspiration…

Memories of the K-Ci & JoJo Love Life Tour.  This wrapped my 4th tour support for 2011, having opened for Brian McKnight, Joe and Eric Benet as well.

Man, what an amazing finish to an amazing year…

This has been making the rounds online (sites like MusicMafia UK &  Celeb Squabbler) & just in general, people saying Justin Bieber’s new single sounds like mine.  Hmmm…

What you guys think?

Somebody needs to do a mash-up.

Some footage of me volunteering for McHappy Day’s 20th Anniversary today, raising money for seriously ill children & their parents.

Who said volunteering had to be boring?  Even learned how to make a Big Mac!

Watch for yourselves ;)…

Happy to finally share this with you guys.

A little while ago I logged some time in the studio with Stan Walker for his new album, Let The Music Play.  For all my international people who may not know, Stan won Australian Idol a couple of years back, but has really gone beyond that to enjoy great success as a recording artist.  He’s a mate of mine, so I may be biased, but he’s a beast!  Seriously though…  Even talent aside, he’s just one of the coolest, most genuine, down-to-earth dudes you could meet.  Pretty rare in our industry.

Somehow, through what felt like spending all our time cracking up & mucking around, we actually managed to write a song!  It’s called Tear Down These Walls & was produced by the talented Styalz Fuego.  Can’t say too much about it, ’cause it’s not out yet, but I will say we were both buzzing after the session.

Also got to sing/produce the background vocals on the final track, Songbird.  That was extra special, ’cause it’s a duet between Stan & his mom.

Like Stan’s said before, there’s really something on it for everyone & I’m super proud to play a small part in this amazing project.  Let The Music Play is officially out now on iTunes & in all good music stores.  Go get it & spread the word ;)…
