Feedback for Amber

Ginuwine "Last Chance"


Ginuwine's single "Last Chance" Produced by: Bryan-Michael Cox, Written by: Adonis Shropshire and Guitar's by: Siete', Recorded and Mixed by Sam Thomas has peaked at #3 on the R&B charts and is currently at the #20 spot and has graced the charts for 34 weeks.

Be on the look out for more from Ginuwine in the future, as people still crave good ole' R&B Music !!!

Fly Boiz


Fly Boiz, rap duo out of Bermuda consisting of Slimmy and Javi have crossed the seas and found me thru the many ways to get in touch these days via Myspace, I have already mixed 2 songs for them "Flyboiz" and "Mula" and have the 3rd song "Mystic River" up now as i am doing final tweaks.

Fly Boiz are a refreshing break from the US market, maybe one day i can go see them in Bermuda, that would be awesome, i would probably sit on the beach the whole time !!!

The Dead Weather


The Dead Weather is fronted by Alison Mosshart (known to music fans as one half of London-based rock outfit The Kills) and includes The Raconteurs' Jack Lawrence on bass, Queens Of The Stone Age member Dean Fertita on guitar and Jack White on drums and vocals. White produced Horehound, which was recorded in just three weeks at the newly constructed Third Man Studio, also designed from the ground up by Jack White.

On Oct 2, 2009 we were at the Tabernacle with a bunch of friends amped up to see The Dead Weather.... and yesssss.... it was the best show of the year, best new band out there, the tightness of the sound and energy, i highly recommend this album to those that like to rock and to those who aren't sure about rocking, point is this Album is a smash !!!

Here's a video from there new album
