Helping Haiti Through Music

We’ve seen the photos and heard the stories of Haiti, and it’s been overwhelming. As we seek ways to contribute I’ve just learned that one of my distributors will contribute a portion of sales to the efforts in Haiti. If you would like to make a contribution in this way, here’s how it works: Starting on Monday, January 25th and continuing for two weeks, CD Baby will donate $1 from every CD sale through their website, and $1 from every download sale over $8.99 on their site, to the American Red Cross and Mercy Corps, a Portland-based relief organization with a large presence in Haiti.

If you’ve already purchased Masterpiece, my debut CD, thank you. If not, this is your opportunity to help Haiti and enjoy some indie music in the process. You may click here to make your purchase.

Peace,
J. Phoenix

The Sophomore Set-up

Wishing you the best of everything in 2010.

As we brave the winter frost I'm taking on the additional challenge of preparing my new album. It is an undertaking I believe I'm handling gracefully. The plan is to have the first single drop shortly, a second single by late spring and a full album for your listening pleasure by late summer. Let's hope everything goes according to plan. I'll keep you posted.
Peace,
J. Phoenix

I Can’t Wait ‘Til February!

I know this blog is supposed to be about me and my music, but I’m having a moment.

I love music and admire many artists, but Sade, she does something special for me. Yes, she’s beautiful, but it’s that sound, them lyrics, that voice and that groove that puts me in a zone! I’m inspired by her ability to stay true to the sound and style she believes in regardless of what the industry dictates. That’s where I live too.

Something about Sade makes me go crazy; and I will be in a music store somewhere on February 8th dropping my coins and picking up my muse.

Reminisce, Right Now, ‘Round The Corner

It’s November 4th and I want to reminisce…..A year ago today I was far away, but my home town was representin’.


It’s been one week since my birthday and almost three months since my return to New York City, and Empire State of Mind pretty much sums up how I’m biting the apple.

“In New York/Concrete jungle where dreams are made of/There’s nothing you can’t do” Lots of writing in solitude and lots of time in the studio……On my birthday, before a wonderful dinner with my wife Shevon (her treat), I was presented the opportunity to write with Roxanne Seeman who, like me has written for Earth, Wind & Fire, as well as penned songs for Barbra Streisand, The Jacksons, Bette Midler and many artists overseas. You never know whom you’re touching with your music. I just found out from a DJ that I have a huge following in the NY Russian community. According to her I’m a legend. I’ll take that.

“Now you’re in New York” Lots of brainstorming with management….The concept for album 2 is fully fleshed. Promotion and publicity are being built and photos must be taken along with the other stuff artists are not usually crazy about.

“These streets will make you feel brand new/Big lights will inspire you……” Keeping the social network alive and building on web presence……Recently rewarded for holding it down in the Top 100 at Ourstage.com; and four songs in regular rotation on Jango.com. Also keeping the social life alive. Last Sunday, a semi-surprise party hosted by my wife gave me the opportunity to spend some quality time with close friends in the very NYC setting of the Dream Hotel.













2010 Is Almost Upon Us……..It’s scary and there’s a lot on my plate. But this is New York and I can get it done. Be on the lookout for the first single to drop at the top of the second quarter…..that’s April.

Thanks for coming on the ride......Let's continue the conversation.

J. Phoenix & Toni Braxton On Same Page

I’m in deep chill mode, but I can still hear……and I hear Toni Braxton is about to hit us up in February with “Pulse” her first album on the Atlantic label. So with all the leaking going on, you know a brother’s ears opened all the way up when I heard the single “I Hate Love”. While her song is good for a slow grind, and my “Hate To Love You” is a head bobbing, finger snapper, we are definitely on the same page with the storyline. J. Phoenix: Hate to love you, but I do/Toni: I hate myself for the way I feel about you. Damn, somebody needs to remix that!

Word is Toni's album might include some of the leaked songs, so I’m hoping we might get a little side-by-side airplay. Try it at home and see what you think. For “Hate To Love You” click on the player at right.


Put Your Radio On………in case you haven’t heard, my music is now being played on Jango where you can set up your own radio station featuring me and your other favorite artists. The best part, it’s free. Click here to set up your J. Phoenix station and enjoy the music you like while getting a little work done.

While on staycation……been enough places in the past two years….. I’ve been stretching my songwriter muscle, studio hopping and catching up on industry business. I promise you something J. Phoenix will drop in 2010.
