Ten Questions Commonly Asked about Color of Love:...
9.) What was it like making this album?
Man, making an album is hard work! I feel I should know, I’ve worked on over ten of them. However, I have to say that Color of Love, is by far my favorite. Sure, every artist says that their most recent release is their favorite, but this really is my favorite album. Of course, no good thing comes without its challenges.

Love & Colors: Part 2
Two blog posts in two days? I think it’s safe to say I’m on a bit of a hot streak! In all honesty, it’s really refreshing to blog about the recording of the album. Have you ever listened to a song and wanted more? Why did they do it this way? Why did they choose this lyric?
