FROM VARIOUS EUROPEAN EVENT TOURS
BEST
SHOTS FROM 2000 TO 2006
Each
year, I travel to Europe to meet up with my fellow
producers and work on new material, promote our
projects to other labels, distributors & seek out
new artists. I decided to go through various
folders over many years and share some of my
favorite pictures from my many trips to Europe.
Hope you enjoy :-)
CULTURE BEAT STUDIOS - FRANKFURT GERMANY
I
spend most of my time in this studio when I travel
to Europe. Much of my production work gets
done here. Germany has always been cutting
edge when it comes to Electronic Music. This
is where I get my sound :-)

THE
CASTLE IN FRANCE!!
During an
event in 2004, I was privileged to stay at this
amazing private castle estate with my record label
team, CAPP RECORDS. This was at the top of the
highest hill in all of Cannes, France overlooking
the entire French Riviera.

MUSIC
EVENT IN CANNES, FRANCE -- MIDEM
Each and
every year, I travel to Europe with my label team
for the worlds most important music industry event.
Where the future of new hits are realized, new
artists are showcased & the NRG music awards are
done. Every major label, artist & producer is
at this event to network, search for new ideas and
share.

I don't get
much "down time" when on the road. When I do,
I enjoy being a tourist just like anyone else.
Here are some various shots over the years of some
of my favorite spots in Southern Europe.

who has flown "Ryan Air" you'll get my facial

AMSTERDAM
I consider
this my second home because I spend almost as much
time here as I do back in the states!!! Each
year, I am involved in a special "DANCE MUSIC"
summit called the "Amsterdam Dance Event (aka ADE)".
I always make time to spend at least a few days here
between various stops across western & southern
Europe. I have never been to Europe in the
summer months so I have only seen gray skies and
colder damp weather. Hopefully, this year
(2007), I will make a point to travel overseas when
there is actually sunlight in the skies and warm
weather!!


Local pub

Event for ADE.

I have only
been once in 2003 and only for two days. One
day to be a tourist and then do a show the next day
to leave.
