GRAMMY WINNING, MULTI-PLATINUM, CHART-TOPPING SONGWRITER,
NE-YO,
ANNOUNCES AUSTRALIAN AND NEW ZEALAND TOUR-
YEAR OF THE GENTLEMAN
Grammy award winner, RIAA platinum Def Jam recording artist and chart topping songwriter Ne-Yo will embark on a five-city Australia and New Zealand concert tour starting in Sydney on Saturday 7 November 2009.
The live concert dates are a celebration of his award winning third album - Year of The Gentleman. It is the follow-up to Because Of You (released May 2007), which received this year’s Grammy Award for Best Contemporary R&B Album, and In My Own Words (February 2006) – both of which debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 and R&B/Hip-Hop Albums charts.
In addition to penning this new collection, Ne-Yo once again showed his writing prowess, penning lyrics for Rihanna, Janet Jackson, Mary J. Blige and Celine Dion as well as the chart topping, record breaking, Grammy nominated song “Irreplaceable” for Beyonce.
Ne-Yo has recently completed a sell out tour of America and with a platinum selling album there’s no doubt tickets to see Ne-Yo live this November will sell fast. Secure your tickets from www.ticketek.com.au when they go on sale on Monday 22 June 2009 for Australia and Tuesday the 23rd June for New Zealand

re-visiting old songs

I've been thinking heaps lately about doing a cover song, a classic song, definitely from an artist that truly inspired me to sing. Alot have come to mind and these are the artists i'm thinkin of:
The Bee Gees, The Carpenters, Al Green, Donny Hathaway, Luther Vandross and Stevie Wonder.
My main purpose for re-visiting a song from one of these artists is to show appreciation of how much they shaped my vocal and songwriting ability. And, hopefully i do the song justice, in my own interpretation without damaging the reputation of the song. Alot of artists do this, but I thought it would be good for you all to know personally why I am. And just so you don't think "The Label" put me on to doing it lol.
I'm very close to starting my album so will be updating you shortly of all the good stuff happening in the studio!

Music month coming to an end

Well, to be honest, music month for me has been pretty slow in NZ. I honestly thought that there would be gig's left right and center for me but i guess this ugly word "recession" has really hit people on the forehead. All i can say is WAKE UP PEOPLE, we all need music, you should've be throwin that paper around this month at us performers to entertain, inspire, encourage and enliven. .. hmm maybe it's just me that didn't get work this month, although i did talk to a few others at the pacific music awards last saturday and they've said the same "this years music month has been the quietest for us" quote's Duane from Oyster Entertainment. Normally Sky City would be investing around 100K into entertainment, so this year Duane took Jamoa Jam on tour.
I guess being ahead of the game would have been the way to go, booking gig's in advance from say... march for music month and then it wouldn't be so quiet, I'm just happy that me and the dirty crew had them aussie gig's available, otherwise it would have been really dead for me lol.
To sum up what I have done for this month I'll be posting a video blog real soon for may so keep watching out for more blog's to come.
