some small accomplishments:

::::::

As of June, 2004, the collaboration between myself and German dance producer extraordinaire Frank DeeFour is complete and being featured at myownmusic.de... Frank created the music and produced the track while I contributed lyrics and vocals.

As of June 17th, 2004, our track, This is the Night, was at Number One on the Dance Charts. Please check out Frank's homepage at deefour.de and his other site troestemich.de for more information... and expect to hear a lot more from this fantastic talent!!!

::::::

As of October 28th, 2003, the Austrian distribution and licensing organization RACE.AT has added my EP, samples, to their eclectic lineup. I would like to thank Georg Ragyoczy and everyone at RACE for offering me distribution and exposure in Europe.

::::::

Mucho, MUCHO thanks to Marcel at KhaiMar Management who matches up vocal and songwriting talent with DJs and producers. In September of 2003, he started introducing me to his special 'family' of House and Vibe DJs in Europe. Marcel has great taste in music and a lot of class. I will be featured vocalist and co-writer on upcoming productions by DJ Rocco in France and C&M Productions in Switzerland... and that's just the beginning :-)

::::::

On June 1st, 2003, I signed a music licensing deal with NOMA Music in Los Angeles... the songs under this non-exclusive film and TV placement agreement so far are:

Fate
Upside-down Girl
Fate (Acoustic Version)
Black Light (Psy-Ops Remix)
Alien Breathing

Thanks to Mike Wyner of NOMA for listening and giving me a
hand up with this opportunity.

::::::

Upside-down Girl won an Honorable Mention in the 2001 John Lennon Songwriting Contest. Considering that I entered the
first-ever demo of this tune into the contest,
it was a pleasant surprise.

::::::

Fate won an Honorable Mention/Top 500 placement in Billboard's 10th International Songwriting Contest. Same deal here... it was
an early EARLY demo of the tune... every so often the
Universe throws me another prize...

::::::

my record label's site:

january 32nd music

simply the best music site on the Internet, and it's all mine... a must-see and must-listen for all who wish to be transformed, transfixed and who appreciate the innate ability of all music to aid those who wish to transcend...

january 32nd music releases e-Singles in the form of hi-resolution .mp3s of all-original music for the intelligent masses who appreciate self-penned and self-contained artists & instrumentalists... it is the world's only ecologically sound (pun intended!) record label and blog site where YOUR feedback is appreciated!

::::::

my educational background is in mathematics and art but my sentimentality led me to music... that area where science, technology and art meet are where I am most often found and I am fortunate to have worked with many like-minded souls... but this should be obvious: no one on this planet gets anywhere by themselves... so thanks to all my fans, mentors, co-conspirators and the like...

'nuff said.
