Well, a jam-packed year of Graduate school at NYU has ended, and a new job position has begun.

I am pleased to announce that I will be taking up a full-time position (aside from artist management) at cutting edge web company, MindSmack.  I've just started at the new office, which is located in a penthouse office just west of Times Square in Manhattan. Once the construction work is all said and done, it will be a beautiful office with fantastic views and lots of natural light.

You might question my choice to work in a field that seemingly is outside of the music industry.

Thinking about the recent changes in the music world however, will lead you to remember the following companies: Napster, iTunes, Myspace, ect.  Much of the future in the music w business is being developed and shaped by those directly involved with technology, especially web-based applications. I am excited to learn more about this aspect of the future and hope to to incorporate this excitement into my future projects, musical and otherwise.

Aside from this big change, I look forward to launching Akudama's tour, and getting outside a lot lot over the summer to enjoy new music, and explore new places.
