Going Pro - has ZERO to do with the time you spend working on the business. Josh Bretag, a mentoring student of mine this year went pro - working as a trainee chef. He translated 5 spare 30 minute sessions a week into $80,000 worth of contracts by last week - Josh went PRO, by being SMART about his time, not working long hours.

This album marked Djavan's association with American producers. After signing with CBS, he recorded this album in the U.S.A. (in Portuguese), which was produced by Ronnie Foster. For that occasion, Quincy Jones acquired the publishing rights of many of his songs through Djavan's own publisher Luanda. The album is divided between a romantic section and swinging tunes. "Pétala" and "Açaí" (pop ballads), "Nobreza," and "Banho de Rio" (orchestral canções) take charge of the romantic part. "Luz," "Capim," "Sina," "Samurai," "Esfinge," and "Minha Irmã" are the swinging segment. The interesting harmonies/melodies and the jazz-like arrangements of this section aroused interest for Djavan's music in the U.S.A. and some of these songs and others were recorded by Manhattan Transfer, among others.

Reyn Ouwehand is an ex-member of the famed "Maniacs of Noise", a C64 composer himself and a successful record producer. Reyn's musical career began with classical piano lessons at a young age. In 1995, Reyn founded Prevue Productions, his own company. He built his first studio and from then on in, his main focus was production work for record companies. Reyn, like so many Commodore 64 musicians and music fans, was inspired by the likes of Rob Hubbard and Martin Galway, and as such, thought it would be a nice idea one day to remake some of the classic tracks. This resulted in the "Nexus 6581" (2000): an album which mixed various game theme styles seamlessly, including the likes of overlooked game themes such as "Deflektor" and "Aztec Challenge": something for everyone…

Over the course of three discs, VOYAGE neatly navigates the long, rich career of David Crosby. Though he's best known as one-third of Woodstock-era folk-rock harmonists Crosby, Stills & Nash, the man with the angelic voice and the walrus moustache boasts a resume whose high points extend well beyond that association. VOYAGE doesn't stint on CSN (and sometimes Y) material, but the journeys into his early days with the Byrds, his solo albums, duo recordings with Graham Nash, and latter-day work with CPR are equally telling. From the mid-'60s Byrds tracks up to the present day, Crosby's knack for close, complex vocal harmonies, unusual jazz-influenced chord structures, and raga-tinged melodic lines serves as a connecting thread. VOYAGE allows listeners to follow Crosby's winding path through disparate eras, stopping off to marvel at the gorgeous sonic scenery along the way.
