Look Forward To The New Year

Hey Everybody, hope you had a wonderful Holiday weekend. I really enjoyed seeing some family and old friends but as usual I am a workaholic and I am back on my grind ! As I always say "Music is my Life!" Last Friday, I released my Xmas Compilation CD called "Christmas 2K9 with Shire'(Sha-ray) & Friends" that featured songs from R-Kelly, Musiq Soulchild , Mary J Blige and other legendary artist and I got over 5,000 downloads. The 2 songs that I uploaded to my, myspace page : www.myspace.com/shireuniversal have about 58,000 plays in 2weeks, which is wonderful!

I did a few more radio interviews since my last blog with a station in Greensboro, NC and Winston Salem, NC. Please go to my, myspace to hear it, its called "Radio City". They love my buzz record "Love Don't Fail Me" feat Maino down there. I also just did another 1 hour radio interview last night in Phoeniz, AZ. Shout out to my girl, J-Milly for holding me down out there. Let me see what else is going on...??

The 2 smash club records produced by the platinum producer from France that I recorded 2 weeks ago have been received very well over there and in the UK. They say they absolutely love my voice because I'm a "real Singer" and they want me to come over there to perform soon, so I am very excited about that of course. I am definitely looking forward to broadening my fan base.

Hopefully in January, my label, SRC/Universal Motown will be ready to finally get behind me and support all of my hard work and effort showing them that I am worthy of my opportunity to shine and to make them a lot of money this year! I would like to see them prepare for an "official" release of a new Single (no more leak records) and put me on the schedule to finally release my Debut Album, "Pickin Up The Pieces" which is definitely finished by the way. Can u give me a release date some time in late Spring/Summer. Can we do that y'all ??

Anyway, in the meantime, Please y'all keep calling your local radio station to request my current song featuring Maino. I really need your support. You can always follow me on twitter at shireuniversal and on Facebook at shireuniversal.

2010 is my turn TO WIN !

Love

Working Til Christmas

Hey Everybody, hope you had a wonderful weekend. Still on my grind ! Music is my Life! I have been recording non-stop for the past 2 weeks; one smash record after another. I am happy to say that I finally finished my Xmas CD Compilation called "Christmas 2K9 with Shire'(Sha-ray) & Friends" with featured songs from R-Kelly, Musiq Soulchild , Mary J Blige and others. I uploaded two songs from it to my, myspace page : www.myspace.com/shireuniversal over the weekend and I already got 12k PLAYS on each song, That is terrific! The full CD will be available for Free Downloads everywhere this Friday 12/18/2K9. Make sure that you get your copy before the Holiday.

I also recorded 2 smash up tempo club type records over the weekend produced by a platinum producer from France who absolutely just loves my voice. He wants me to come over there after the new year to do some touring so I am very excited about that and I am definitely looking forward to broadening my fan base. Hopefully my label, SRC/Universal Motown will be ready to get things moving with me and supporting all of my efforts by preparing for the release of a new Single and my Album, which is finished by the way, just waiting for all of the clearances and paperwork to be done.

Let me see what else is going on...

I have a few more radio interviews to do this week with a station in Greensboro, NC and Winston Salem, NC. They tell me that they love my record "Love Don't Fail Me" feat Maino down there. Which by the way has almost 2 million plays on my, myspace page.. Whoa !!

New Weekend Update

Hey Everybody, hope you had a wonderful weekend. Mine was full of surprises and more work dropped in my lap. But work is good! Back on my grind ! Music is my Life! As i said in my last Blog I have so much to talk about but I can't do it all in one blog ! I just recorded 2 smash up tempo records over the weekend produced by a very well known producer and he was in NY shopping the song to different labels, like Def Jam, Capitol, J Reords and others and people have been going crazy over it. I even sent them to my publisher Ron Moss @ Rondor/Universal and even he loves it. Yeahh!! Shout out to Ron.. thanks for the advice !!

I am now finishing up a Xmas Compilation CD (Mixtape) of my rendition of a few of my favorite Xmas songs along with a few guest appearances by some music Friends, such as Colby O'Donis, Sir Charles (New Uni/Motown Artist), Joe and others. I will have the CD available for download on this site, myspace, facebook, etc. I will be doing another mixtape at the top of next year and it will be available by Grammy weekend, and then hopefully my label will be ready to get things in order to begin supporting my record and preparing for the release of a new Single and my Album.

Let me see what else is going on...

Looking Forward !

Hey Everybody, I just haven't been able to get focused on my Blogging since my wonderful Trip To LA and then the Thanksgiving Holiday visiting my close family and friends in Baltimore. I'm sorry for that but I'm back!! Back on my grind ! Still fighting for my love of music ! I have so much to talk about but I can't do it all in one blog ! It will have to be done over the next several days.. Let's start with the lala.com site

I am still holding on to one of the top spots. This week I am at the #4 spot as SRC Records' top songs on the lala website.(click link below to view)
http://www.lala.com/#browse/label/SRC%20Records
However, for the 10th week in a row, I am still #1 as SRC's top rated song on the site. (click link) http://www.lala.com/#bestsellers/label/SRC_Records/more/webSong::sort=topRated.

On to other news, I am still pushing my "buzz" single "Love Don't Fail Me" feat Maino. I am sure that by now I've missed out on plenty of sales on this record because the response has still been amazing; but please continue to be patient. I am hopeful to still get it on lala and itunes soon. We are still dealing with the politics of this business. For example, I just did another radio interview on the Vincent Tucker radio show in Dallas, TX and they love me down there. They have been playing my record in full rotation for the past 2 months. click link to listen http://vincenttuckerradioshow.podomatic.com/entry/2009-12-02T19_03_51-08_00

Please y'all keep calling your local radio station to request my song. I really need your support. I am hoping to be doing a Xmas EP of about 6 of your favorite Xmas classic songs and servicing them out to radio in the next week or two. This is all for now.. so much more to say but I will save some for tomorrow.. Have a blessed weekend ! Oh and congrats to my labelmate Melanie Fiona for her Grammy Nomination.. next year is my turn ! Good Luck Mel

Love
