2010 Juno Awards!

Hey everyone!

Sorry for letting such a long time pass by before writing a new Truth!

As you can imagine I’m really busy these days, now handling two careers at the same time, getting ready to release my album on the international market as well as being pretty much swamped by a pile of remixes to do!

Nevertheless, my life is very enjoyable I can assure you! 🙂

All that is happening is very exciting, and I am writing this today to share with you one of the most amazing news I received in my career…

Years ago, good news for me was to learn I got this or that booking in this or that club or festival. Good news was also to find out I made the cover of this or that magazine or newspaper. Well, of course all of this still is good news to me, I especially wouldn’t want to sound “blasé”, but since I have done all of that over and over again, as much as it is always enjoyable, it’s not new for me anymore.

What is a brand new feeling for me is the nomination I have just received for the 2010 Juno Wards for Best Dance Recording of the year! Now that’s a first, and amazing news!!

I have already received (and won) a few nominations and prizes in the past, but in my eyes nothing was ever as important as the Juno Awards, so I’m extremely excited, to say the least!

As some of you may know, the story behind this album is a bit of a special one, and a sad one too… Having started to write songs after my dad passed away, I have always said this album was completely inspired by the grief caused by him being gone forever, and without this sad event I am not even sure I would have gone down that road, a brand new road that I am enjoying very much today and on which I’m intending to stay in the future. So I take this nomination as the best reward I could ever get for having created my first album ever as a Singer and Songwriter. It’s pretty unbelievable and I totally owe this to my dad!

Stay tuned for the results of the Juno Awards 2010 on Saturday April 17th!

Some other bit of news I can give you is that my latest video “Four On The Floor” (see video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DjhXk9l5-mE) is now out and has just been added on rotation on Much More and Musique Plus tv channels in Canada! And that’s great!!

When the album will be released outside Canada, which is very soon, you will all be familiar with the videos before the actual album! LOL!

But it is what it is… unfortunately, that’s how weird the music business has become…

Soon you will be able to get your hands on a remix I did for Umek, on the label Rekluse. I dropped it last week in Spain and it absolutely rocked the dancefloors, so I can’t wait for the remix to be available for all of you.

And as usual the annual Winter Music Conference in Miami is coming up so you will find me there like every year, at the Am Only party on Friday night at Karu & Y with la crème de la crème of all DJs and again on Saturday night at Space with Steve Bug, Guy Gerber and Troy Pierce to name a few!

And much more to come, as always!

Well, that’s it for now…

To all northern hemisphere people, enjoy spring time! To all southern hemisphere people, thanks for lending us summer for a while, it’s about time we start seeing some sun as well! 😉
