Hello everyone! Hopping on here to announce that Ball in the House’s newest original song is being released Tuesday July 1, 2025!!

Really excited about this one because….I wrote the song!! During this whole recording, I dove into music making in a whole new way, and what a joy it was to bring something so personal to life!

Along with writing, I also arranged, produced, engineered (along with Tyler Nordin, who also, masterfully, edited the vocals), and mixed the recording!

More highlights about the song coming soon!

Your moment is waiting…take a chance.

Christmas has come and gone, and just like that, another year passes by with Ball in the House ! I can’t believe it…when 2025 hits, it’ll mark 5.5 years of traveling, performing all types of...

12/13/2024

Wow…as a background vocalist, lead singer, arranger, engineer, mixer, and producer…these are the amount of streams that I’ve been a part of over the years! Thank you listeners, for all of the love and support! 🙏🏼🎶

What a journey, what a ride! I’m truly blessed for all of the music I’ve helped create in the contemporary ****la world! Thank you Ithaca****la, Redline, Sound Off, MIT Ohms, Emerson College's Acappellics, The Record Co., Liquid 5th Productions, Cut Off Studios, Baylor VirtuOSO, Ball in the House, and countless other musicians, friends, and teachers who’ve helped me hone and develop my creativity and skills 💙 Here’s to more great music making 🎉🙌🏼

What a blast recording with Ball in the House earlier today at The Record Co. in Boston, MA! We're COOKIN', and we feel like we're creating something really special here! We're so excited for what's to come!

We can't wait to share this album one day! It's been such a privilege and honor to help deliver and drive this project! Let me tell you, It's been a rollercoaster with planning and executing, especially when bandmates have babies (guilty 🥹), other commitments arise, really...just, life happens...but, one day at a time, one step closer!

All know this…when a spark of hits; when an idea comes out of nowhere while writing a song, working on production, or ironing out an arrangement, you take ACTION! I’ve been getting better at it, using my phone to record quick ideas (I’d NEVER do this in the past, it’d all be in my head and I’d find it eventually)…but, when life just happens, and having a 1.5 year old…my whole process has been shaken up 🤣

My biggest hurdle is when I’m in the zone and having a strong creative flow, but then Mateo needs something or life takes precedence…I sometimes lose the momentum afterwards.

So I ask you (full-time) musicians, especially those who have families and/or other important outside responsibilities, what’s your practice of balancing it all? How do you keep the momentum going when it has to be broken up?

11/09/2024

Hey everyone! It's been a minute! I hope all are well and that the music is flowing and great things are happening or beginning to blossom! We all need that now a days!

Life has been BUSY, with plenty of Ball in the House gigs/traveling/production on our next album, and working with some choirs here and there and some arrangements -- any choirs/a ca****la groups looking for work, just let me know! -- but, mostly I've been spending time with my family, especially raising my sweet boy, Mateo! He's already 1.5 years old! Crazy how time flies! For those who haven't heard, my wife and I are expecting our next baby boy the end of March 2025!! Another exciting journey about to take place! We are beyond excited for what's to come!

A HUGE Congratulations to so many amazing artists for their GRAMMY® Nominations!! To simply be placed on the first round ballot with Ball in the House this time around, along with an insane amount of talented musicians from around the world, was such an incredible honor!

✨ One day, we’ll grab a nomination…one day. I can feel it! ✨

A super special shout out to Bill Hare (Bill Hare Productions), he mixed and mastered Wouter Kellerman's album, up for Best New Age, Ambient, or Chant Album! Bill is well known in the contemporary ****la community, and I've been blessed to work with him on multiple projects over the years. He's also been such a great mentor and inspiration to me, and I couldn't be happier for him as he grabs ANOTHER nomination!

Best of luck to everyone in the final voting round starting next month!
