Once Upon a Time

I finally took the songwriting class at BYU and for my final project I wrote this song. This was performed at the class showcase in the Harris Fine Arts Center at BYU!

Live for Music

Shaun Barrows asked me to cover his song EMOTIONAL CONSTELLATION for this Live for Music production:

MICHIGAN and CHICAGO

Hey guys,
So I am in Michigan for the summer, seeing more of the US of A. Whoo hoo! I am also taking time to work on my music. I am writing, singing and collaborating. I will then head to Chicago in August to work on my album! YES! One day there WILL be an album.

I have met several great musicians and have recently finished 2 new songs as a result. I may have a free demo download to those who visit me on www.reverbnation.com/sainusa soon.

Tentative song names:

1. Found ~ written with Andrew Christiansen
2. Did I Tell You? (I Love You) ~ written with Alisha Merrick
Hope you all have a great 4th of July. I will be celebrating it in conjunction with a Andrew, as we will both be "one year older and wiser too" this weekend.

Cheers,
~J

Hammer Hands Series and THE LOFT

I am playing in a concert Saturday, June 5th in Provo at THE LOFT! I have actually never been there, but I am excited for my debut there! It is part of the Hammer Hands Concert Series organized by the talented Shaun Barrows.

I will be rocking it with the likes of Ryan Innes, Kendra Mack and the fabulous Jarret Burns.

$5 will get you in and we'll have you stamping your foot in no time!

See you there!

The poster from my April concert. It was AWESOME playing in the middle of the BYU Terrace and having a nice crowd. They LOVED the song I CAN'T WAIT, but then again so does everyone! HA HA HA

Progress

It's been WAY too long since I last blogged. I performed 2 weeks ago at Sammy's Cafe in Provo!

It was awesome because it was outside with a great view of the UT mountains and I had a great drummer and back up singer.

You can see some of the videos on my You Tube Channel or my Facebook page.



The Lineup was:

The Call (my Regina Spektor cover)
Break Free
June (My cousins original song)
Someone Worth Waiting For
Here We Go Again
Who I am
Terrified

Most of the above songs have demo recordings and can be found at Reverbnation.com/sainusa. I also still have some FREE yes FREE downloads on Reverbnation

If you search for SAINUSA (stands for South Africa IN United States of America!) you will find all things related to my music!

Till later!

CONCERT

A few weeks ago, after performing at the BYU International Student Talent contest, I was asked to sing and perform at a concert that will be on campus in a few weeks for fundraising. I will be the HEADLINER! Can you believe it!!!!! I am so excited!!!! More of this to follow!

In Studio

I was in studio a couple weeks ago recording my new song BREAK FREE. The mp3 can be downloaded for free on Reverbnation.

I also am working on a cover of Terrified (written by Kara Dioguardi and recently made popular by Didi Benami on American Idol Season 9. I just LOVE this song.

Also co-wrote a song with my roommate Ali last week. Life is good!!! :)
