As 2023 draws to a close, I cannot help but look back at the year in some contempt. Upon reflection I scoffed at the arduous trials that make this year particularly memorable. One chapter in particular stands out; the day I discovered that someone broke into the studio and stole over $20,000 worth of essential music production gear.

This morning someone broke into my recording studio stole my instruments, drum machine, turntables, speakers and a mic!

This person knows me, knows what I do, knows what im about and whom I represent. He knows that this hurt me, my kids and my clients.

The team catch up during the worldwide pandemic of COVID-19. They talk about pretty much everything as the conversations veer in so many interesting avenues as they navigate COVID-19 in their own ways. Steak Bake, Belgium Buns, Chicken Bake? Which One? Can you eat hot food at lunch-time and still work just as hard, if you had a cold sandwich? If you haven’t heard DJ Cass C show you hear it here. Urban Christian Music Show. How much do we need community? Imagine going through COVID-19 without community?
