[NEW] “The Audition” (Artwork)

Here is the new (and final) artwork for my project “The Audition EP”!!!

The reason why I chose to change the artwork is because I felt the previous artwork was too safe. No one was mad at it. No one said “what the fuck is this?” Anyone can have a picture of themselves with text, and for a second I let myself fall into the norm.

Ive recorded over 40 songs since the release of the first artwork and tracklisting, and the entire project has gone in a different direction. It shows more of my personality than anything Ive ever done, and the artwork needed to showcase my personality as well. I truly, 100%, without a doubt believe that “The Audition” will be one of the top 10 projects of 2010! I really want to say top 5, but the blogosphere would go CRAZY….lol. But Ive put A LOT of work into this project. Its hip hop! More hip hop than anything Ive done prior….and on March 23rd, everyone will get to judge for themselves!

Hope you guys love it!!!

Sometimes staying up late on iChat, people can send you really creepy messages…or really cool ones. In this case, my friend Makensy sent me this REALLY cool vid.

Dope.

Nicki Minaj Covers Fader Magazine

Posted by ShawnChrystopher on Friday, 19 February, 2010

I’m not the biggest Nicki fan. I dont see why she does all those voice changes and mumble shit, when she didnt used to 2 years ago. and I raaaarreeely like the way she dresses, but this cover is actually VERY well done!

Props to Nicki and Fader!

Shawn Chrystopher – The Audition Commercial #1

Posted by ShawnChrystopher on Wednesday, 17 February, 2010

The first commercial for my “The Audition EP”! Shot by The Mighty Fifty!! This commercial is visually amazing, and not just because Im in it (partly because of it..lol).

This commercial basically expresses EXACTLY how I was feeling creating “The Audition”…and it literally just blows my mind!!!

I Witnessed History

Last night, me and MyFavoritePersonInTheWorld went to see the Lakers play the Bobcats. May not seem like a game of any relevance, especially in February, but it was a game only 20,000+ were able to experience in person. I was SUPER happy to be one of them.

No one wouldve guessed that Phil Jackson would continue coaching after the glory days in Chicago unraveled. No one wouldve guessed that he would come to the Lakers and win a championship his first year. And not ONE person couldve guessed that not only would Phil STILL be the coach of the Lakers (10 years and 6 finals appearances later) but that he would become the GREATEST COACH IN LAKER HISTORY (in regards to wins).

Here is the final artwork for my EP “The Audition”!!!! I am SUPER fuckin excited about this project!! I’m listening to it now and I truly believe its the BEST collection of music I have ever put together!!

My dudes Mick Boogie and Terry Urban have chosen to be apart of this, and its only right because their The Press Play Show on Shad 45 was the first big radio show that ever gave me an on-air interview.

MARCH 23RD!!! IT’S GOING DOWN LIKE THE CATALINA WINE MIXER!!!!

Pursuit of Happiness

TourTICKETS

You know that scene at the end of the movie “Pursuit of Happyness” when Will Smith is walking down the street full of crowded people and begins to cry a little bit because he just got the job at the firm? That’s kind of how I feel right now.

Ive worked soooooo hard throughout my life, chasing my dreams even when people told me they weren’t attainable. Ive played music for people, who in return told me I wasnt ready..or that I should consider other options. Family members constantly reminding me that making it in music is a “one and a million” chance.

And here we are, Jan 28th 2010 and tickets for my first official tour have gone on sale. Life is crazy.

Nothing that has happened to me has been luck, or chance…just skill, practice, and hardwork. I don’t believe in luck, because that’s discrediting the amount of hours I’ve put into something.

I obviously still have a LONG way to go..but so did WIll Smith at the end of the movie, that doesnt mean that he and I both can’t sit back for a second and be proud of what we have done so far.

I may be young, and have a lot of life left to live….but I can honestly say that I am living proof that dreams do come true! (It’s a lot of fun when they do!!…lol)

I thank you all for your complete support, as always! See you on tour!!!!!!!

Viennetta

How many remember this amazing ice cream dessert? I do, and Matthew B does, cause I was over at his house he pulled out the freezer, Viennetta! It came here in the 90’s, and the company Unilever thought it would be funny to stop selling it in the U.S. Back in ‘09 sometime, it returned to U.S. groceries. Now, must do you all a favor and recommend this, honestly, you don’t even need to eat a meal before having this as dessert. Jump right to this and eat it as your meal.
