Props from a Legend ! !

I appreciate every single person's support of my work which includes my music, poetry, blogs, photos etc . .

However when I get a thumbs up from music legends such as Narada Michael Walden , who I first became familiar with from being a fan of the legendary jazz-fusion band the Mahavishnu Orchestra ! Mr. Walden has worked with and written songs for the likes of Lionel Ritchie, Aretha Franklin, and Whitney Houston just to name a few. He has a discography that spans decades with countless of classics that I can't all mention in this one post ! Just Google him .

Mr. Walden did me the honor of liking one of my posts on Numubu, a wonderful social networking site for musicians ! The post was a link to another site where I have my first couple of EPs Ceteris Paribus and Sigh of Relief available for download and streaming . So he definitely heard MY work ! He also accepted my friend request which meant a lot !!

As a independent artist/musician that wears so many different hats , during the grind sometimes we can feel that some of our work goes unnoticed. But then we get moments like this , it's just inspiring and motivating that our work is noticed and appreciated !!

All music nerds know about what a legend this guy is ! His drum playing alone on classic records has taught me so much being a drummer myself .

It was exciting as a fan of music period, to see and experience this ! Just had to share .

Until the next time keep chasing your dreams and keep the faith .

New Grooves . . .

D-Natural (@ArtisticVisionz)

Here are a few of my new instrumentals out the stash. I've been trying different things lately and expanding my sound. 

These joints here find me in a classic hip-hop mood :

"Not Sorry" 

"Change"

My next EP Ceteris Paribus is coming along well. Taking just a little more time with so that I may included a homie of mines on the project for one of the songs. I've never been on a record with another artist at the same time, so I'm gonna give you guys a taste of what I sound like alongside someone else on this record.

I appreciate everyone's support of my movement and my growth as an artist. The next couple of blogs here will showcase some of the new random instrumentals I've been working on lately outside of my solo project. Then we are gonna get into some of my latest poetry as well.

Stay Tuned & as always keep the faith and chasing your dreams!!

Chick Corea - The Great Pumpkin Waltz

What's up everyone ?! Your man D-Natural coming at you once again !

Being that this is the month of October, the beginnings of Fall, I thought it would be only right to share this piece with you. 

It is my favorite version of "The Great Pumpkin Waltz", which was originally composed by Vince Guaraldi. Mr. Guaraldi composed the classic "Peanuts" songs that we will always love. I can listen to this rendition of his song all day, which is played by the great Chick Corea along with a great band of musicians!

I've had the opportunity to see some pumpkins which are blooming so beautifully this time of the year, down here in beautiful rural Virginia. This Fall season looks to be my busiest time of the year. My brand is expanding and there is lots happening. I really don't know how I manage to stay on top of it all but somehow I do. Halfway through this semester of school successfully, finishing my third EP for the year entitled "Ceteris Paribus", with another EP lined up for release right behind it, things are crazy!!! But for some reason I like it like this, it's what I was made for. This is what I chose or should I say it chose me.. 

Until the next time, enjoy & I'll be back with more updates along with more new original music & poetry! One Love
