A Day in Philly....

Started the day with some recording Hooks...for Rappers
Then headed to Philly with Dre, Jesse, and Shia to check out the grape st. pub and see Franklin Bridge(http://myspace.com/franklinbridge) and Eric "Erro" Roberson (http://myspace.com/ericroberson)

South Street(Downtown Philly) had a lot of street art and murals, but I slept thru half of them I was was for this joint though
Stopped at the Most Famous Ishkabibbles The dopest cheesesteak spot in all the land...

Eric Roberson(sound checking) is a great inspiration to me, he started his own label in I think it was 2003 and has released 5 cd's all bangers, under Erro. He also is a killn songwriter. he has written for Musiq Soulchild, Jill Scott, Dwele, alot more folk but ....I'm his invisible competition...











Franklin Bridge Killn It!!!! at Grape Street
Curt Chambers Lead singer/lead guitarist is a beast...

Eric Roberson startin the set off wit some thing to move to "Don't Change"...His Band is so tight, they keys player was in a Roland,Motif and synths coming outta logic (sounded like 3 keys player) and the Bassist was in it..locked wit The drummer, GROOVIN!!!! Felt Good!!!

Reflect

The Light Goes Off...in Brooklyn 2 in The Morn

Dawn...

Dream...
At the early age of 22
I've come to many conclusions
There's far too much nothing in my life
But theres no where I can run
I aint no philosopher but I sure do dream like one, trynna find piece of mind, piece a time, and all the pieces to love,

I rarely look to my past
Cuz it clouds my Visions
And I rarely smile or cry
I figured it would be easier to just stay nuetral, things are what they seem if u just close your eyes and see the picture, I used to try and meditate but my paitence turned into anxiety, sometimes I analyze my so far life still without an answer..

Headed to the Studio via the D train...
Shout out to New School University..I am now an Alumni..that makes me sound old...



(In The Studio With Mz.Mimz) So..I learned how to engineer about 2 yrs ago..I work with Programs like Protools(my favorite), Reason, I've used Logic (its confusing to me),Abbleton Live, and Digital Performer, my ears still arent at the "Gift" Level as far as mixing but Im workin on gettin there, EVERYDAY...

JB3 Post-SHow Pics

ALotta FOLKS CAME OUT..CHECK THE PICS

JB3 Preshow Action...

SO...I had My First Show in Miami lastnight and It was Killn....A lot of People Came out.....
Usually on the day of the show there is usually a fair amount of things you have to do.. 1. Last Minute Rehearsal 4-6
2. Soundcheck 7-8:30 after this theres nothing to do but wait..thats always the worst because Anxiety takes over depending on how big the show is...So I usually do 1 out of 2 things right before I go on. SLEEP, or Walk around to kill time.. This time I decided to walk around and tried to Promote a little more before the Hit...Footage Below

The ART of Rehearsing

Dwayne , David, Stephane and Myself..Rehearsing My Big Mono Music "Pet Peeves"
I LOVE REHEARSALS!! because usually in NY ..nobody has time to rehearse..but we rehearsed down her for 4 hrs..what I would give for that all the time...

Anxious

Its Crazy Being Home!!
Cuz I havent been here since January. And I have a show an actual JB3 Show out here so Im a lil hype, Im feeling real good cuz it like all the people down here like my friends and family never seen me on a stage, at least not since senior year of High School before the voice change.(Late Bloomer) So I know people are gonna be a little suprised , at first I was worried but now I know for a fact its about to go down cuz I had rehearsal with the Band Yesterday and its sounding Lovely!!! Hopefully after this show alot more people in MIAMI will start to apprechiate Passion in Music...
