I really need to take this time out to thank you all for the great comments and the continued support! It has only been a couple of weeks for me as music contributor for Urban Pop Life and it is very rewarding!

I am simply a music lover who also loves to write. I love discussing music and what's new as well as what went under the radar in the past. This music column is a dream come true, but it is nowhere near perfect. I have a ton of ideas to make it more interactive, entertaining and informative. This will take some time though so please be patient with us at UPL.

Ultimately, my mission is to prove that good music always prevails. Americans have just gotten so used to the crap being shoved down our throats that many of us either can't recognize talent when it is presented or don't know where to find it past all of the trash. That's where I want UPL to play a significant role in your lives. At no point do I claim to be a "know-it-all." I just happen to know good music when I hear it. ;-)
