Last year I approached Chester French with an offer to collaborate with them on a mixtape to help promote their upcoming album "Love The Future." While they appreciated my enthusiasm and ideas to help, they wanted "Love the Future" to be the World's first taste of CF. A few months ago, though, they caved into my relentless advances and agreed to work on a this project with me. I convinced them that this project would be special and more than just a mixtape. Since then we've had an amazingly fun time making the free album that you're about to experience.
"Jacques Jams, Vol. 1: Endurance" is a chronicle of the past six years of D.A. & Max's (Chester French) lives. It tells their story, from the gymnasiums of Harvard to the hills of Hollywood. Unlike "Love the Future," which they written, arranged, performed, produced, and engineered by themselves, "Jacques Jams" features a collection of new, original music and hilarious skits that we all created in the hills of Massachusetts and then invited some of our favorite artists to grace.
We assembled an all-star cast of music legends like Jermaine Dupri, Diddy, Pharrell, Pusha, Talib Kweli, Bun B., The Mad Rapper, Kardinal Offishall, N.O.R.E, and Jadakiss as well as younger friends like Janelle Monae, Cassie, Wale, Solange, Ben Lyons, Lady Gaga, and Mickey Factz.
This month will be pivotal for Chester French as they put out "Love the Future" through Star Trak / Interscope records on April 21st. We hope that you will continue to tell all of your friends and family about Chester French's music and movement. Consider yourself an ambassador of their VIP Concierge Service, which anyone can join for free at www.chesterfrench.com. Please encourage everyone you meet to visit their site and join. Every single new supporter truly takes them one step closer to sustaining their touring and recording. As always, we love to hear from you so respond to me on Twitter or call me any time at 617-671-0670 with any ideas you might have for how we can better spread the word!

I performed at SXSW in Austin, TX this year. When I say performed, I didn't just DJ. I debuted 3 new songs that I will be releasing this year. I DJ'd as well and played hypeman for DJ Class.

I'm at it again but this time with one of the hottest new pop bands, Chester French aka D.A & Max! We teamed up to create an audio movie with a score of all original music written, produced and performed by Chester French.
This mixtape is pure entertainment with humorous skits, interludes and a few surprise guest features that will take you on a journey with D.A. & Max from their Harvard days where they formed their band and hooked up with a few "Nerd Girls," to Hollywood where they were partying and getting kicked out of clubs, got a record deal and subsequently were sucked into the Hollywood life before buckling down and finishing their debut album.
I've been in the studio nonstop for the past few weeks putting this masterpiece together, and for those of you who are not yet familiar with Chester French, after this project you will become a fan of their unique, creative sound and understand why KanYe West, Jermaine Dupri and Pharrell Williams all wanted to give them a record deal! They ultimately signed with Star Trak/Interscope and their debut album "Love the Future" is slated to drop April 21st, but in the meantime GET FAMILIAR with my new collaboration with Chester French, set to drop this March.

Recently I interviewed Katy Perry at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas where they did a case dedication for her of her outfit she wore in her "Hot & Cold" video. Pretty big deal considering her case is amongst other iconic artists such as Steven Tyler, Britney Spears, Madonna and Eminem. Anyhow, we did an interview for a segment on the Daily 10 on E!, which will air soon and we talked about everything from fashion to music and she even took a shot at Heidi from the Hills. I met Katy like a year ago at my publishers office in LA and I knew from the day we met she would be successful. Not only was her music great but her personality was awesome. She sang to us all with her acoustic guitar and as soon as she sang "Your So Gay" I knew she was something special. I can't tell you how many people I told to go buy her album, ha. Anyhow, check for my interview with her airing soon and appearing on this blog shortly after!
I've worked with and have been around many talented people from Akon to Diddy to Ludacris & Ne-Yo but I recently was so impressed by someones talent so much so that I had to share it with everyone. That someone is Sean Kingston. We recently went in the studio together to work on music for his new album and I am happy to say we wrote a Smash together. I went in one room and wrote the hook while he was in another writing the verses but not only was I impressed by what he wrote during that session but we did a party together a few weeks prior to that studio session and spent several hours hanging out going through music to not only pick for album but for a mixtape we are going to do together as well. I am not exaggerating when I say that if I played 15 beats, he came up with a melody and song ideas to all 15 beats on the spot but not just cool ideas...Doooope ideas! Some people might not realize this dudes potential or feel like he'll have another record as big as "Beautiful Girl" but I know he will. This dude is full of creative talent and is still just getting started. He is well on the road to becoming a far bigger star than he already is. I feel privilaged to be able to work with such a talent and hope that working together will last for a long time but if not, one thing is for certain.....he will! Get Familiar!!! Look out for his new album on the way.
