NuwrayN – The Official Website

Hey guys, just wanted to chime in and let you guys know that I’m still here. I’m currently working on the 10th track of the new album, and video shoot is in directorial stages. Perhaps soon I’ll release a “Making of the music video.” We’ll see how that flies.

As the new year takes hold, the sun will rise on my new album, which is slated for release later this year. I will continue to push my previous effort, “A Million Tears”, as much and as best I can in the meantime; I won’t abandon it, that’s for sure. Video is slated to be released soon (about time to get some videos up, hey?).

So here’s to hope and success in this new year. Thanks to all you guys who’ve been following me, listening to and buying my music. I appreciate it!

This is probably the first time I’ve ever spoken to a “celebrity”, so understand my excitement. Yanni actually responded to my request to see if we can hook up on a collaboration! It wasn’t the response I wanted, though, because he did say he had his hands full at the moment, but I don’t blame him; he is in fact very busy.

I guess that’s good sign for me, because I can now reach out to real artists and see if my material is good enough for us to a collab. Next up, Ronald Jenkees and Ryan Tedder (One Republic).

Making music is a strange thing indeed. It’s a love affair, a project, a task, a deadline, torture, happiness, pain, and pleasure all rolled up into one. There, I think I included it all. It goes something like that. Once you latch onto a certain feeling or theme for a song, it’s very hard to control your imagination and relegate it specifically to that one piece of music you are creating. From one song can come hundreds of others; from just 3 notes can inspire an entire song (this is one of my methods of making music).

Having said all that, I’m halfway done on my new project, guilty of not even having promoted A Million Tears. It’s been very unfortunate, since I’m being held back by my health, which, if it were in class, I’d give it a  grade D. Nevertheless, this does nothing to stop my imagination, so the work goes on.

The response to A Million Tears has been gratifying. I love to hear from anyone and everyone what they think about my music and how it affects them. I even had a gentleman tell me that my music “has a soothing effect that put my children, whom I couldn’t quiet all day, right to sleep!”

That’s what I work towards. I want my music to be able to touch as many people as possible and help them get through their everyday lives, to help them emotionally, to tell them a story of mine that they can translate into their own understanding.

Done right, music is joy, and music is pain. Any true artist will tell you this.

Thanks for being so supportive of me and my project. There are good things to come, and I’m glad you all love A Million Tears so much.

Good night for now!

I so wanted to start promotion, but a health issue flared up. The worst type possible in terms of pain: back pain.

This back pain started from an accident I had in November of 2006. The sad thing is that it limits me so much that I can’t do anything except bed rest.

Thankfully, I am still working on new music as best I can, in between the bouts of delirium and pain. Formal promotion for the new CD “A Million Tears” will begin soon, with a music video coming up.

Stay tuned, and hang with me guys!
