"Break the bank"

ola, bonjour, helloo yall. as you can see by the frequency of my posts, its been a slow year. this kinda thing happens with a career in the arts just as im sure it does in any other field. keeping my head up and eyes on the prize though, because there's always silver lining: the universe is giving me time to develop not just my acting skills, but also my careers in music, radio, comedy and entrepreneurship.

which brings me to the main point of this post, my first track "Break the bank" is out and coming to a radio, club or boot near you. it'll also soon be available for download on the music websites and stores you have come to love. follow the link to my reverberation page (www.reverbnation.com/hasa) and click on the play button next to "Break the bank" to hear a sample of the song. it is an electro house song with kwaito-esque elements and i hope to the saints of music that yall like the track.

Thats it for now. please don't hesitate to tell me what you think and as usual: tell a friend. PEACE

first of 2011

My first post for the year, whoohoo! Don't worry, i'm not gonna go all 'happy new yearsy' or 'alas 2010 was a good year' on you. A belated 'happy new year' is like a belated happy birthday - moldy, yuck. That was then, this is now and this is all we have. I've been on tv for almost a year now, on cinema and now radio too ("The Recovery", Sunday nights 8-11pm with myself and MsCosmicDj on www.Rhythm100radio.com, Africa's first urban online station [voice-over-guy voice]); contrary to popular belief: im not chased down by fans all day, im not super rich and i'm not an A-hole. I am however still an actor (amongst other things) and a person. I have willingly exchanged some of the luxuries of not being an actor for all that comes with my profession (constant rejection, loss of privacy, immortality [muhahaha]) but I have not and cannot lose certain things that humans will carry with them all the Days of their Lives (haha, the soapie reference sounded better in my head). Chiefly, a responsibility to contribute positively to society. This takes effort (i feel the pain particularly when I have to get up in the morning, i'm not a morning person at all). This year my effort will be focussed on my acting career, various music and business projects I am working on, my production company and, yes you guessed it, myself (coz being selfish is ok sometimes; the chicken that produces golden eggs must re-energize or lose it all). What i'm trying to say in a nutshell, is that in all you do this year, be it surviving first year of varsity or struggling to provide for your family or dealing with the loss of a loved one, take time out, for yourself, remain you and strive for what you believe in. i'll stop rambling now; as you were (",) and for the first time in 2010… tell a friend.
