sometimes you make things happen… sometimes, just let them unfold.
Here’s the performance I did for Guitar Center’s Singer/Songwriter finalist performance at The Hotel Cafe earlier this month. Enjoy.
Hey Tumblr Fambam!
We now have reached 200 backers for this project. Now let’s get this to the finish line!
A great way to get this rollin’ even faster is to keep posting on Twitter, Facebook, blogs, and etc. I know some people are waiting last minute but it would be nice if we can get this to 100% soon. If this campaign won’t reach the goal, I’d have to postpone this project indefinitely. ((insert sad face)) And we proobably don’t want that to happen.
So many of you have been helping me out of the awesomeness of your heart and I thank you soooo much! They don’t go unoticed and I truly appreciate every single one of you! Almost There! Please help me get rid of “Almost”! :) (see what I did there??? ;))

67%!!
Let’s keep this going! We’re halfway through the campaign and still needing about $3,250+ to reach the goal! Help me make this happen. It’s been a dream of mine to record a FULL-LENGTH and I haven’t officially released one (although, I released a “full-length” full of demos, which I don’t really count AND it was before I released anything on iTunes).
Many of you have shown support and love already and I’m truly blessed. Thank you.
Let’s get this to 100% soon!

Some of you might’ve gotten this song/track too ‘cause y’all pledged for his album a year or so ago. All his “backers” got this song on Christmas day.
Every time I listen to his music, he mentors to me lyrically, melodically, vocally, and the simplicity (with his DRH twists).
Know that this is guy that can sing licks left and right, vocal range is ridic, slays the guitar with greats (like John Mayer), writes and performs his songs that can make a whole room shut up. But what’s fantastic is that he’s passed the stage of “I can prove to you that I have musical skills” - he’s in the “I just want to make great music” stage…Music that communicates and tell stories - and the skills just support that.
Boss.
This song is so good. I’m not going to post the audio on tumblr ‘cause 1) he probably doesn’t want that and 2) I respect it/him that much.
Y’all just gotta wait til it comes out.

Almost 30% folks. :)
If you haven’t checked it out, please do. I’m looking forward to creating this album. And even if you can’t pledge towards this, just reblog, FB, Twitter, and etc… Any help to spread the word about this, I would be truly grateful.

I got featured on Knocksteady. They met up with me last week to record a little video for them. I sang a familiar/original tune - this time at Venice Beach while the sun was setting. So chill. :)
Here is Knocksteady’s post: http://bit.ly/10i4fpY
…and yes, I sang “Skyline.”

GO
(polinar)
you have become what i have feared to discover
and I was the one who always tried to recover
all the while I thought I understood
blinded my eyes pretending everything was good
don’t want to wait
i don’t want to feel the rain on my face
where the wind blows is where I’ll go
I want to let you go
got to be brave
step out behind the lines where i’m trapped in my ways
where the wind blows is where I’ll go
I want to let you go

What advice would you give to those pursuing their dreams?
I had to answer the question above for an email interview I sent in just now and below is my answer:
“Dreams are best if they serve someone else besides your own self. Many people think dreams are solely what pleases self and self alone. It’s the “do you” or “yolo” generation. And to be honest, I totally disagree with that. I do believe that you do things because you find fulfillment in it - it just depends what kind and what motivation. Sooner or later, we all will realize that we’re all hardwired to care. It’s not about “pleasing” people but “serving” them - and that’s the main difference. Pleasing implies that you submit to another person (or group of people)’s imperfect expectations, which we all know pretty much sets you up for failure. I do music not to please the music industry and the pop culture status quo but because I know there are people out there who’s willing to listen …and listeners who are moved by the music and lyrics I share. This is my advice because pursuing dreams should be more than paying your bills, momentary claim to fame, and waiting for your retirement check to kick in.”
