Playlist Pick: Heartless - Kris Allen (Kanye West - Cover)
Thankful For: Friends
Just a quick update from last weeks Indie Film Jam at the Florida Music Festival. It was a really great time, and the biggest thing that made it the great experience it was, were all the positive, supportive people I got to meet, and the positive vibe and energy from everyone there. I hung out with my friend and music video director David Bermejo who was also screening a video.
John Theisen, the Program Director of the Indie Film Jam, has really created a positive and supportive atmosphere. Everyone I met, directors, artists, musicians, were just so positive and supportive. It's not something you usually experience in the entertainment industry. Usually people are looking out for themselves, so man was it refreshing!
I got to meet some really cool people. The winners of the audience award for the music video competition were a band called "King Bee". I had the opportunity to meet them, and they were very very cool down to earth guys. They were kind enough to give me some of their music, and I quickly loaded it onto my iPhone where I've been acquainting myself with their bluesy, raw, rock sound. Check them out, you'll dig em'!
Brook Pifer Rockstar Photographer was on site shooting photos and doing her thing. She also had all the bands and artists take part in a music video of a cover of "Don't Stop Believing" by Journey. It's going to be awesome once it's released.
Late Saturday night, I got to hang out with my bud David Siegel. David wrote the biggest hip-hop hit of 2008 (Whatever You Like by T.I.), and the biggest hip-hop hit of 2009, (Kiss Me Through The Phone by Soulja Boy).
I also took part in an artist on artist interview with Real Radio 104.1 personality, and singer Tiffany Martin, and one of the members of the band The Schmeltz. We hung out on the Gibson Tour Bus, and jammed out on an impromptu version of "Umbrella" by Rihanna.

Lastly, CONGRATS TO KRIS ALLEN, for winning American Idol. He's definitely music for the common man. I think he'll do a lot better as a commercial artist than his challenger was. The underdog pulls through man! I love it!Have a great evening, and see you soon!
