Help me pick my next (and first) cover!

Sunday, April 11th, 2010

Hey guys,

I’m pretty excited about turning my YouTube channel into a place where I can post covers of varying degrees of completion (from a cappella recorded via video camera to fully produced and recording via ProTools) while I continue to privately work on my demo.

There are tons of songs that I love to sing and play on the piano, and some that I love to sing and still have to learn. I was wondering if you guys had any input as to what I should cover next (or first, as it happens to be)!

A couple of ideas I had were some songs by John Legend, Ne-Yo, Usher, or maybe even Sisqo – don’t worry, I’d be singing “Incomplete”, not “The Thong Song”… ;)

Hit me up here in the comments section or via Twitter (@ianchoe) to let me know what song you want me to cover! :)

Headed in a new direction

Saturday, April 10th, 2010

Hey guys,

You might have noticed a few changes on the website – namely, I’ve removed the old tracks.

After talking extensively with one of my friends at JYPE, I’ve come to the conclusion that the best thing to do for my future career is keep my original work under wraps until I’m ready to start submitting demos. Because of this, I won’t be releasing originals via my website or YouTube page for quite some time. I understand that in doing so I will lose many viewers, but I hope that you will understand when I say that this is the best move I can make for my career. I’m not a very good singer, but I’ll continue to update my YouTube page with covers and short clips of myself in the studio or other areas of my life (i.e. while I’m in Korea) where music abounds, and hopefully many of you will continue to watch and subscribe as I work towards my future goal of being a producer.

I will be releasing “Out of My Mind” once I finish mastering it for a limited time-frame, which I will tweet and announce on YouTube so that those of you who have been kind enough to support and encourage me over the past month or so won’t have been waiting in vain.

Thanks again for all the love and support! All the positive feedback I’ve received over the past month has given me the strength to commit to music fully as a future career.
