Loretta's Boy, The Album

What's Up World,

                            It's been an EXTREMELY long time since I've blogged, and ALOT has been happening. I've moved back to FL from Los Angeles, and the most important thing is IM WORKING ON MY FIRST ALBUM. The name of it is Loretta's Boy. It'll be about growing up in hardships and making it out. Currently, I'm launching a Kickstarter page to fund the album. So what I need people to do is...go to the page...watch the video...and donate now! I have 26 more days to do $4550. I hope that you all are staying positive, and pushing towards a life that YOU believe in! 

                                                                  Much Love, 

                                                                                   Brentwood Slim

UnAware

                                                                             
What's Going On World,
                                   It's been forever. A lot is going on with me. I've recently started producing my own music, and just finished a photo shoot. It seems like this dream becomes more and more difficult each day, but I have faith in my purpose so I know great things are ahead. I just thought I would share this incredible video of a guy named Allen Stone performing an original song called "Unaware". Everything about it is great, from the writing to the arrangement. You'll be blown away. Promise!
                                                                               Til Next Time,
                                                                                                 Brentwood Slim

Circumstance

                                                                                         

What's Happening World,
                                        It seems like forever since we've connected. It feels good to be back though. I've just been working hard, staying positive, and believing. Does it feel like, the closer you get to your dream the more distractions come? It's like when you're right there, some circumstance attempts to trip you up. That's been my experience over the past month, but I have to encourage myself to STAY IN IT. Consider it this way. Your gift is bigger than you. There's hands you have to shake, lives you have to inspire, and most importantly a world that needs your voice. So FIGHT FOR IT!
                                                                               Wishing You the Best,
                                                                                                           Brentwood Slim

This Woman's Work

                                                                                           

What's Going on World,
                                   I had my first photo shoot today! It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be,  and we walked away with some really great shots. I'm extremely excited about this upcoming year. Great things are going to happen. It's important to stay positive and continue to work hard. Speaking of working hard, I don't know many people who can match the work ethic of my good friend James Boyd. We went to high school together in Jax, and I've always had an admiration for his talent and dedication. With that said, I wanted to share on of his videos. I'm most impressed by his ability to isolate movement in the body, and how articulate it is. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Over

                                                                                             

What's Going on World,
                                     It's been a LONG day today, however I'm still here for you all. I just wanted to share this video of the Berklee guys, again, doing yet another incredible arrangement. This time it's of Drake's song "Over." I really don't have much to say about it. You'll see.
                                                                                    Peace

Corey Henry

                                                                                           

What's Going On World,
                                      It's been a really busy week. I've been preparing everything I need for this upcoming photo-shoot.  I hope life's been good to you. I just thought of one of my favorite videos that I'd like to share. It's of an organ player named Corey Henry. I can't begin to tell you how incredible, and inspirational it is watching this guy. I'm amazed that these kinds of gifts love in people. Enjoy it. Tell a friend about it.

August Alsina

                                                                                                     

What's Happening World,
                                       I've just completed what seems like a very long shift at work, but I'm here. I was just on twitter and I came across a very gifted young man. He goes by the name of August Alsina,  from New Orleans. I just thought I would share a bit of his work, because it's definitely inspiration. I love the heart that's in his sound, which will only grow. So this is his cover of Lil Wayne's "How To Love." Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
                                                                               Peace
