Living the day like it would be your last!

yeah i think is really important to think how fragile we are!


A sad new came to me this morning: my 28 year old cousin pass away last night after a whole life full of health problems and injuries ...!
The doctor already gave not allot of life chances after birth to here!!!


But she still was here ... yeah ... wonderful person... i think we all could learn from here!
The doctor always say she should stay calm and home and not making to much stuff ... bla bla bla .... she was living traveling, animal lover, she wanted to be independent all here life! but allot of things was not possible for here ... but she had a character ... knew what she want and what she don't want!


Last summer she came to ma place few days... and we was talking about allot of stuff... and she was saying that she prefer to life here live until the last breath...


And she did it!


Much blessings to here and that we profits of our days like it would be our last!

Words

How we use the words in our daily life is so important! Words are so powerful! And everybody know witch words we are good or not! There is for sure a educational or/and growing up environment! But everybody knows witch are the bad words! And the youth think that they are cool to use...

But how you talk so you are and this is what you gonna be!

In all languages there are words used and we should take care what they really mean!

I even suppose that words are especially turn in another sense to having power over people!

i take an example: UNDERSTANDING do it really mean what it says???

i would say it should be OVER STANDING!!!

because understanding is that we accept without having our opinion!
overstanding is that our opinion fits totally with what we agree...

Another word is BELIEVE sounds quit like (BE LEAVE) could also mean LEAVE your BEING is searched a bit far i know ... ;) but this is the impression Believing gives to be! Thats why i would propose BEME = Be yourself!!!

words are powerful ... let's catch the good and positive one!

Rise Up

Rise up Rise up Rise up will be a gain

Rise up Rise up Rise up for my mind and my brain ....!

Around the world people told me that they hear the song ... and for sure i saw it my self when i traveled myself almost around the whole planet!

I not did ASIA and not AUSTRALIA ... if not i was on every continent!

Allot of people was discussing about who made the first version of rise up ... and i admit that we left this question open, it feed the buzz ;)

But the first rise up version is the one we made with Yves Larock! He gave me a House track to sing on it... there was already the main instrumental and the melody... I made the refrain ... after a long reflection how could house being mix up with reggae ... in the studio with Yves and P.Brunkow we work on the chorus ... and there came out RISE UP .... then the rest i wrote quite quick ... all this happen in 2005-2006 ... the first version was maybe too much reggae and not enough house ... even the professionals was not really interested in RISE UP !!! so Yves continue to mix it more and more House until a version that became "interesting for the marked!" beginning 2007!

mai 2007 everything went fast... BBC 1 played rise up on heavy rotation... and then it went everywhere...

Rise Up was then just the right song presented by the right persons at the right time! But not only!

Rise Up was also a song that that catch many people's heart! Yeah many people from all around the world from different regions from young to old the people love rise up!

Often people ask me if I'm not bored to sing Rise Up one more time and one more time! And no!!! I'm happy that it was Rise Up that Hit ... i think is still a nice song! But also as longest the people want to hear it ! I will sing it!

I personally learn so much out of Rise Up!

I flight all around the planet and yes i admit that my ecologic karma must be very bad!!! I had all kind of experience from hysteric to ignorant, from happy to sad situations, from countries that i even don't know their existing to countries that i never though to go! (I will develop Rise Up Stories later ... have many of them :))

The most funny thing was always when i came in this Snobby Clubs ... they was looking at me and though, who is this hippy ;))))) and after the performance all of them want a picture with me ;))) Some of them say :(even promoters!) ahhh YOU are Jaba ??? i though you where black !!!! .... my answer was: hmmm nobody is perfect ;)))))) One of the phenomena is that the poorest countries they have the hugest clubs, cars and the most expensive DJ's!

$10'000 bottle Champaign in the club and outside the club the worse ghetto situation i ever saw...!

Another phenomena : More the people pay at the door as less they have fun ;)))

I don't judge all this at all ... is just my own observations .... (more to come...)

I will come back to the question that allot of people asked:

Why i was not in the Rise Up clip???

Well first of all ... all went really quick ... lucky that yves was in the video!

Then also i don't want to be in the video from the beginning because of a couple of reasons!

Before Rise Up i already had moonraisers over 15 years ... with a very clear line how the things have to be done (I will write about this, also later!) with Moonraisers we still don't found the investment to make video that could really represent the music and the message we want to spread out! I though is maybe not a good idea to having as first clip a house track in my career ;) That was one reason!

Second reason: House was not a new thing to me! I worked already on couples of House productions, but more as musician or then songs that was not came out huge! But i did not want to become the house singer ... i was not agains to mix my reggae style with other stiles, but i want to stay the moonstyle reggae man ;)) And this is also the reason why i refused more than 2000 House production from all over the world ... even big names ... but the songs often not permit a reggae mixup...

And another reason, the one i fully support, is that you can not bring two Artist Up the same time and Rise Up is mainly Yves work, but also P.Brunkow is a main part in Rise Up and I'm happy to had the chance taking part of it!

In the end the financial aspect .... For sure allot of people think that all the ones who worked with Rise Up are millionaires!!! And let me make clear that if we made rise up 5 to 10 years earlier .... yes we would be!!!

But in a time where everybody download more than he buy, in a time where (almost!) all mobile devices having bluetooth sharing for songs and ringtones, where the most countries or clubs not even hear from musical rights (for house music)! i a time where you can have 24 millions youtube views without a cent, where developed countries sale almost 80% less CD's ...

The reality is there ... 3 years later ... don't count on money from a world hit like this!

yes there are live performance that i can make ... ! everywhere in the world ... in places where i would never pay to go in without performance ... being away from my family almost every weekend without sleep (or only in the plain ;))

And musically it is very poor ... i think I'm more a musician than a singer (will also talk later about this!:))

But all in all i have no right to complain!!!

I had a wonderful experience that i will remember my whole life!

RISE UP RISE UP RISE UP!

more to come....

2012 etc

Yeah we are facing a special time and i'm really happy to take part of it!

Every body who is a little conscious and see how planet earth get treated... see that she is changing... and right now even more!

"The one's who say that 2012 is the end of the world ... they are maybe right ...!

because:

if is the end of all lies, suffer, un-justice, money-power illumination ego trips .....

then we would be able to start over again and make out of this beautiful planet earth a real paradise!"

People getting more and more conscious: truth can longer be hidden (wikileaks) the people will not longer let other decide for them (Tunisia, Ivory Coast etc etc) more and more people will go to the street and take over the foolish governments who steel from the people since too long now!

And the world is shifting for real ... RIGHT NOW!

There are many videos, news etc that talk about that!

Just look out what happen to the world .... Take your information if you need to get convinced what happend... RIGHT NOW!

But more important! is to look to yourself!, the ones you love and taking care to our planet earth ... now more than never!!!

2012 is just a number and a year .... (thats why i call it: 2012 etc. ) but no human being knows when it will happen ... but it's started already ... we are in...

Spread Good vibes, Love and respect

Fame

Yeah Fame ... !!!

The thing is that the most of the people, identify what they feel when they like the music, in the persons (musicians/singers) who make the music ... and put them up to a higher level ...

i experience this with Rise Up http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rH5q5M6Ok2Y i saw the backstage of the world's tops music business ...

And for sure the attention the people pay for the one's who produce they're favorite music, is so immense that not every ego can resist to a such attempt ... to think that they are really something special and stay normal!

For sure is a biggest pleasure when the people like your music ... your artistic work! but that is it!

That makes us not more special than anyone else!

Because everybody is special in his way and have to be appreciated and be loved!

Many times people told me after a show that they love me ... and i overstand that they love my music, my artistic performance, my work!

But is not me they love ... is the music ...

And also not to forget is the people behind the artists ... a good artist have good people who work hard in the shadow ... and they often got the smallest peace of cake our of it!

As biggest the artist is, a more people work in the background!

But we as artist should never forget them and for me the first rule in music buiz:

in 10 sec on stage in 10 sec down the stage ... physically and mentally!

Words used in Music

Music is a very powerful transporter for messages ... any message ...

you don't need to UNDERSTAND the words ... your sub-conscious always get it!

And this is also the problem with allot of bands ... and i think they ignore this or pay no attention to it!

I experience it to myself and thats why i know that the people don't really need to talk the language you sing, they will feel the vibe trough the music!

I think that the people who listen constantly to your music they will get the words ...

And that's why is important to choose the right words!

Words are also very powerful ... but for this more later!

Good Vibes

My Thought's

Many thoughts in my mind feel like must coming out!

So i create this blog ... i especially separate it from my musical part because i think i will talk a little about everything !

For sure also about music! but also about everything what arrive to us in this special time!

we will see where we will go...

So welcome and thanks to came here in this huge internet!

Good Vibe and love!
