Shout out’s and thank you’s to Brett Smith, Evan, and Andrew Schmidt for helping me film this video in LA!
I wrote this song during my time in the hotel that I called home during my Sing-Off experience. It’s a hip-hop song that documents the nostalgia and unease I began to feel living in a hotel. These emotions are manifested through a past and current (or what was current) relationship. When I write songs I give you my life and experiences through a very honest and raw scope. This is Hotel Confessions. Enjoy.
It’s what like week four of Myke Charles Mondays? Aight well my mixtape should be dropping the last Monday of this month! Until than…here is another little something something for you to listen to and not forget about me.
This week I filmed a short video of me doing a cappella poem basically. It’s called “This Love” and is about a past relationship I experienced that was somewhat turbulent in nature. I hope you enjoy.
What’s up, Urban Methoders?! What a whirlwind it has been the last couple of weeks. I want to thank all of you for supporting us, and I assure you that you have not heard the last of Urban Method! We’ve got so much more in store for you! The Sing-Off was an amazing ride. We met so many awesome people, and had a very unique opportunity to share what we do with millions of viewers. I know, I know. It’s a rough life we lead, eh? That’s why I’ve got nothing but smiles going on. I mean, I’ve been performing music professionally for several years, but it’s nice to sit back and be grateful that I get to do this for a living. The rat race is stressful at times, but I wouldn’t want to do anything else. And it’s because of fans like you that I will continue to do it. Look out world, we’ve only just begun!
I’ll leave you with one of my favorite performances by one of the greatest entertainers of all time, in commemoration of his birthday. Here is Mr. Sammy Davis, Jr. Happy Thursday, everyone!
Happy Thursday, Urban Method folks! It seems so long since we’ve talked! I’m so glad to be back home in Colorado and really working on what we have coming next for you all! But now, for a little music history.
On this day in 1943, jazz piano great Fats Waller died an untimely death from pneumonia. The first time I ever knew of Fats was in the movie Stormy Weather, in which he played a jazz club owner and performer, and performed his hit “Ain’t Misbehavin.” I always thought of him just as that funny man who raised his eyebrows a lot. Through the years, I discovered that he was an incredible piano player and composer, and set the standard for many pianists who came after him. And beyond that, he was a great entertainer. He could just play, but he would always add little witty quips into his performances. He made his playing look effortless, and he never seemed to take himself too seriously. He was a much sought after accompanist for many vocalists at the time, and remains one of my favorite musicians to this day. Here’s to you, Fats! See you on the other side!
Today is the first day of Myke Charles Mondays! A lot of people were saying they are going to miss seeing and hearing from me every Monday since The Sing-Off is over, so I decided to release something for my supporters every Monday until my mixtape drops in January.
Here we are. For this first Monday I’m releasing a short video of me doing a freestyle track over Wale ft. Miguel’s “Lotus Flower Bomb”. My inspiration for the verse was how a woman (or parts of a woman) can be personified through a flower so I tried using word play and extended metaphor in the verse. Shout out to Wale and Miguel for killing the original. Hope y’all dig it. Look for me in the sky. Stay up.
weather! Happy Friday, everyone! It’s Kim Dawson here with another vocal health tip. As I sit in my bed laid down with some little bug I must have gotten from one of my students, I am reminded of one thing. This time of year, there is an abundance of many things, namely, germs! They abound, and people get so worried with other things that they forget to take care of themselves. Don’t forget, folks! Wash your hands often, and make sure to stay hydrated! And most of all, bundle up! We like to think that we can handle all changes in the weather. Don’t be proud. Wear a hat to keep your body warm. And if it’s cold out, wear a coat that will keep you warm, not just a little jacket because you think it’s cute, or because you want to convince yourself that it’s not that bad out. Also, wear a scarf. Keep that throat protected from the elements! Be smart! Take care of your voice, and it will take care of you! Have a great day!
It’s round 2 of Myke Charles Monday’s and it is also my birthday. I’m a quarter. Anyway, today I present a song and a video by the name of “Plan B”.
I must warn you that this video may not be for the feint of heart and I apologize to anyone who finds it offensive or particularly disturbing. This is my art and the video portrays the extremes of the emotions I feel in the song.
I hope you enjoy. To those giving continued support. I thank you.
