PLEASE READ!! THE ELEMENTS UPCOMING SHOWS!! TIME FOR PREPERATION...

Morning Patrons. VERY excited about the upcoming months. There is a lot going on and I feel very blessed to have the opportunities that we have. One thing that I am starting to realize is how imperative it is to be prepared. In season AND out of season as the good book says. We tend to forgot the out of season part. Now obviously this is something we all know we need but if you're like me I constantly need to access what I am TRULY doing with the 24 hours God is blessing me with daily. How many of us have taken an assessment when we are done with the "next big thing" in our lives and say to ourselves, “I could have been more prepared for that. I could have done better than that... I could have given more. I could have won that battle” I am realizing that we don’t have trouble dreaming or desiring... We have trouble preparing for the challenge. We don’t start, don’t plan, don’t work as hard as we could, or procrastinate with our goals and dreams.

Every once in a while our heroes will do something inspiring, the will do something noteworthy, or (as has been the case lately...) they will leave this Earth. Those are the times we reevaluate our priorities. Am I working hard enough? Am I wasting time? Am I focused? Is there anything more important than reaching for the stars? I am starting to realize that when I get to the end of the line the things I struggle with from day to day are going to seem FAR less important than WHAT I did with my life

My question for myself lately has been this: Do I take the necessary steps in the off season so that in the regular season I’m prepared for ANYTHING? When the battle has not yet arrived is when you prepare.. I want to be prepared for my dreams and any challenge that comes my way.

Of course this applies to everything we do in life patrons. We know this.

Do I prepare for a great career by getting a great education?
Do I prepare for a great marriage while dating?
Do I prepare for the things I have no knowledge of by being humble enough to get advice?
Do I prepare to show the world my best work by working at it until it IS my best work?

Ask yourself. We have some great opportunities coming up soon! They’ll all be worth attending.. You know why? We will be prepared for them...

Here is a list of some of our upcoming shows! Come to one of them. Come to all of them. Support the Elements and prepare yourself for your dreams! Until next time patrons.

"Under Construction" - Nice Tag line for us all....

We are all works in progress. We all have areas to grow in. We all change. Those who achieve greatness spend less time saying' "I'm working on it" or "I'm a work in progress" and MORE time ACTUALLY working. I must admit I'm the most excited that I've been in a while concerning music and the "work" being done there. I had a great conference call with the group on Monday and reconnected with them. As anyone who follows us knows, we ALL have a lot of things going on. Careers, college for some, new marriages for others... It has been a year of refocus (and other focuses..) for all of us.

But it's cool. Sometimes you need that in life! And I think we are all more poised now than we have ever been. This is a good thing. For one, Mike, Marcus, and myself have all been led by the power that is to live in Columbia, SC for a while longer. It's funny how God orchestrates so much for us. Never would've saw that coming in a million years.. But it did! And, as a result, we will be more connected and have more of the group in close proximity than we have had in almost 4 years! With our own studio and all a little smarter and a lot hungrier. No joke. This is good.

So, here we are! Everyone evolving. Everyone refocusing on our dream (we have great ones...). Everyone ready to do their part. It's a good feeling! So what exactly IS everyone doing? (I'll focus on the projects and if you want a more personal take on the fellas please visit their websites and blogs.) As you'll soon see a lot is in the works for The Elements family.


Marcus Thomas - Soul Speak

In edition to finishing up his Masters, Marcus is coming back home to Columbia, SC from Gainsville, FLA! This is good for the Elements folks... Very good. Currently Marcus has in the works the following:

1. Owen Soul (a concept duet album with yours truly..)
2. a solo acoustic effort

2. another yet to be titled project.

Mikhael Sampson - Mike S. The Prophet 13

Mike S the Prophet is doing what he always does.. Produce HEAT. But he's also gearing up to do what he periodically does... produce a HOT solo album. I promise this one will be his best one yet. Stay tuned for more info.

1.A yet to be titled solo project.

Kevin Sampson - The VISUAL Kid

Kevin has A LOT going on... But of course that is better SEEN than heard... Go check out his blog at http://thevisualkid.blogspot.com and prepare to be inspired...

Brian Conner - Open Mike
And of course, that leaves me.. I promise you ALL I will put forth the best effort I ever have in my musical career to produce a artwork worth remembering.. Pray for me! Here's my list of construction work:

1. Owen Soul
2. Solo effort entitled, "The Dash"
3. And lots more "Toast It and Post It's" to keep your appetite wet!
