Keep on climbing

Lately life has been so rewarding. Today we're back in the studio knocking out vocal tracks. Im gonna put everything I got into the vocals and hopefully my voice is worn out by the end of the day.  I want you to feel the emotion coming from my soul as I unleash the lyrics. We are submitting these songs to the radio so they must be at that level of professional quality. We still must mix and send the tracks off to get mastered.  We are taking our time on these songs. These are the best of the best of my music. And I wrote these songs. The music and lyrics are all by me and my guitar. Remember I am a song writer and all of my material is original. Lets just see how far this music thing will go. Thank you for all your support and I am proud of my music. I raised the bar.

One love

Brick by brick

The music is coming together very well. We've combined a variation of different sounds and have taken music to whole new level. Developing my sound and style so it is unique.  Working with Ronnie King is a blessing in disguise.  It is fate that we met years ago in Orange County. And my connection with JP from Castaway Seven studio.  It is all meant to be. We developed a sound no one is using. Originality is what works best. Why create something thats already been done by someone else. Carve your own path to destiny and let no one stop you. We are all very talented people.  Use what's in your best interest. Well friends thats just a little sample of what were doing.  Thanks for the support. 

You wait your whole life for this moment

That photo was taken yesterday at the show. That's my very cool grandpa Abel Garcia Sr. I had a lot of support yesterday and a lot of my family showed up to see me play for the first time. The energy was off the chain yesterday. Every show will keep getting better and better. Locked in and loaded. 

Today is a very special day in the world of music. I get the opportunity to work with Ronnie King a multi platinum producer throughout all genres of music.  He just happens to be my friend.  Like I have said, I have lived many places and met many faces. It is all about the connections you make when it comes to the music business.  And the most important thing...you gotta have money. NOTHING IS FREE IN THE MUSIC BUSINESS. Trust me it is a very competitive business to be in, but it pushes me to be my best. JP from Castaway Seven is also one of the most talented and groovy producers in reggae music.  So with both of them and Justin Dempsey on drums, I have one of the best teams around. Im confident in my abilities.  Lets make these hits people. 

One love

Its a great day for a show

Today is the we've all been waiting on. Well at least I have. I enjoy performing because It gives you a rush like surfing does. Maybe in my life they go hand in hand. Who knows? All I know is everywhere I've traveled the guitar has gone with me. Music and surfing has taken me to many places that I never would have gone otherwise.  Its just the path I have chosen. I thought my life was all planned out. Fortunately life has changed the way Its supposed to be. Couldn't ask for anything to be different.  Its been one wild hell of a ride I'll tell you.  And it has all led to this. Today a show, Monday and Tuesday in the studio with JP and Ronnie King. Life is non stop music. It's my livelihood and thank you for the support because this is how I pay the bills.  Keep that in mind.  That is why I do my best to write the best music possible.

One love

Aloha it's the weekend

I just had to post that beautiful picture of sheila Louise.  So today just gonna be rehearsing at 75% and give my vocals a rest for tomorrow.  12-15 songs of old and new material and one beautiful cover song by the Foo Fighters.  Its gonna be a great way to get the momentum moving forward as I go into the studio. These are very well written songs. Just a coincidence has turned into a song the ladies can booty bop to. I am so blessed to be able to live the life I do. Live life to the fullest. 

One love,

Freedom

I always enjoy waking up early in the morning while everyone is still asleep in the house. Its quiet time that allows me to expand my mind with creativity.  I am a true warrior on a mission to get my music out there and heard by the world.  It's what I truly love and firmly believe I have a guardian Angel watching over me.  You can never ever feel alone in this world when there are secret behind the scene actions going on at this present moment. We get what we to achieve, a higher consciousness. Pay attention people to whats really happening.  The law of attraction is real and anyone can make it happen.  Stay true.

One love

One love

Wow I guess miracles do happen and we all are blessed individuals.  The universe does give back the energy you put out. The law of attraction.  Keep smiling sunshine because its all good. You are in good hands my friends with me around.  Keep coming to the blog and I will keep feeding you positive energy.

This album has so much potential and I have so much good news but I will let the music speak for itself. Shout out to my crew JP Ronnie King Justin Dempsey and Sheila Louise. I got one of the best teams in the business. 

One love

Last night I wished upon a star that our dreams would come true.  

Last time I had a wish was the night I met you.

We've been interconnected ever since

I love everything about you and the way you kiss

Your an angel who came from the heavens 

You take me to another world just with your presence.

You make the present such a wonderful gift

Everything about you makes my world like this 

I never ever want it to go away 

Loving you more and more each and everyday day.

It's all good baby you can open your eyes

When you awaken from this dream I'll be right by your side.

One Love,

Sun Fire

Stay ready and you aint gotta get ready

The caption on the photo says it all.  Well that place for me is the studio.  A place that feels like home.  Perfect vibes for being creative and artistic.  It feels good to be going back in the studio and continuing work on my album, It's All Good.  There is nothing to rush, its all about taking your time and making it flawless.  This is gonna be my masterpiece.  My gift to you for being such a great audience.  I have selected some of the best musicians, producers and engineers to help see my vision.  The caliber of work we are aiming for is to be focused and paying attention to detail.  Something that will make your soul dance to the tunes of the melody.  This work will show my range as an artist and a visionary.  If it ain't broken, don't fix it.

One love,

Building blocks and these messages, who knows whats true?

And I seize to exist like this, enslaved by the rules.

Broken Dreams create my reality,

Just so I could make someone proud of me.

Lost Souls now have a place to call home.

The sweet taste of victory and I'm not alone,

I got nothing to lose. 

 I hope everyone has a great day!

One Love,

One day at a time

                                 Photo: Sheila Louise

We all struggle to survive...

Whether it be making the rent, keeping your relationship together, paying the bills, keeping food on the table, making sure your family is safe, etc.  Whatever it is, all you can do is take it one day at a time.  Moment for moment.  We only get one life to live and we gotta make the best of it.  All that matters is the present moment.  Nothing past it, nothing in front of it.  The Power of Now.
Make it out to the show and show some love for the good energy.
 
It's All Good

One love,

The summer is sure flying by and its been great living here in Ojai.  Country living at its best.  I got everything I need here, peace, love and tranquility.  Perfect environment for a creative person like myself.  Situation about my equipment has been fixed and I am so stoked.  Like I always say things always tend to figure themselves out.  Good Karma.  Like I say I don't have the answers for everything, but what I do know is that I'll share everything I can to fulfill your captivated minds.  Life is good.  Don't take anything for granted. 

One Love,

As time fades away

                                                                  Photo: Sheila Louise

It seems like life is at light speed right now.  The days seem shorter and time just flies by.  I wish I could explain this more in detail but I don't have the answers.  I hope its a good thing.  I just don't like the feeling of being rushed.  For the show coming up, I had to pull some strings to make it all happen.  I have all my own equipment to perform a show, but there is a malfunction with the pick up.  The pick up is where you plug into the amplifier from the guitar.  So I'm either gonna play with my vintage guitar or borrow one.  Either way the show must go on.  Remember the show is on Sunday the 25th at 3pm in Silver Strand at the Beachcomber Tavern.  Its gonna be like a reunion show because that's where I got my start when I started playing my guitar seriously in 2008.  So it only makes sense to perform 2 sets and give a great show.  It is a very cool place, its small, but very unique.  I'm hoping I can turn this into a regular gig on Sunday's.  I have enough material, so why not. I hope to see you all come out. And remember this is a FREE SHOW.  Whats better than hanging out at the beach on a Sunday Afternoon listening to some chill music.  

Don't ever give up on your dreams regardless of how big or small they are.  And don't let anyone tell you anything different.  Believe in yourself, because I believe in you, just like you believe in me.  Make it a great day.

One Love,

Sun Fire

Love and support

How strong is your support system?  Do you have a support system at all?  My support system starts here in my home.  The environment is so beautiful to be surrounded by the mountains.  Life is peaceful and consistently stable.  My lady and I have one another for a support system.  We are a team trying to make it work in this new generation of technology.  Instant information at your fingertips.  We made the decision to stop drinking together.  No one has ever made a sacrifice like that in my life.  Now that's love..real love.  We got each other's back in a real way.  So here we are now 219 days free of alcohol and there is so much clarity in our relationship.  The clarity of my life is what I appreciate the most.  I feel as though I am making wise decisions when I am confronted with an issue.  Rather than get drunk to feel numb to life, I'd rather keep on moving forward.  Onto the next one.  But its like I don't even have any problems anymore sober.  Things are just minor and are all apart of a bigger plan.  I have accepted the fact that there is nothing wrong with change.  I'm 32 years old and can proudly say it has been one hell of a ride to be where I am at today.  I think of all the people I have met throughout my life and I feel blessed to have such great friends.  Better yet, I have a very great support system in my family as well.  Some people call it luck...I call it a kick in the ass and getting my shit together like a man should.  I learned that from my father and grandfather my whole life.  My 20's were all about fun and enjoying life.  Now in my 30's my focus is setting myself up financially so I can be comfortable for the rest of my life and buying my condo in Princeville Kauai.  I will still keep my place here in Ojai as well.  I just want to be able to always be inspired by beauty and mother nature.  I have goals set in life and I'm hoping 5 years from now I have accomplished so much more.  Like I said consistently keeping life stable.  I'm living the life I chose for myself and all my downfalls and struggles were predecessors to this moment right now.  6:48 am writing my blog for those who enjoy reading it.  Thank you so much for giving me such inspiration to keep on doing what I love. You are the greatest audience.

One love,

Sun Fire

What makes the internal fire burn?

I am an Ojibwe warrior whose soul has traveled thru generations and been reincarnated many times.  I have seen it when I am in a deep conscious level of thought.  The time is now that my voice should be heard and the beautiful music that pours out of my soul be put on display.  Music is a universal language that can speak to us all.  Music is what I love.  The feeling of playing and singing my own songs is so incredible.  It is a rush like surfing.  One on one with mother nature and society.  I am excited that I have booked another show and get an opportunity to perform again.  From the roots up this project is blossoming into something special.  I am just fortunate to have met the right people in my life to help me do what I'm trying to do.  And most of all music is fun.  I get to express myself anyway I want to experimenting with all the sounds to make the music sound right.  The music comes from my heart and soul...and you the listener can feel it.  On that note enjoy the music and be prepared for what's next.  

One Love,

Sun Fire

Gratitude

                                                                   Photo: Sheila Louise

Today is a day to give thanks for everything I have in my life.  It may not be much, but its all that I need.  I have the basics and that's what is most important to me.  I am a simple person and it doesn't take much to please me.  I would like to believe I am easy going and I have a great personality...most definitely fun to be around.  Let me play you a song on guitar so you can feel it in your soul.  I guarantee I'll touch your heart.  A love jones in your bones...

 Towards the end of the month I shall be going into the studio to proceed with work on the album.

Maybe I'll write more later today...

One love,

I always wonder how my life would have turned out if I ended up going to West Point Military Academy for college.  I was accepted to the Air Force Academy as well.  I received my nomination by the Congressman.  What stopped me...I couldn't score high enough on the SAT.  I have lived a very fortunate life and not scoring high enough probably saved my life in the long run. I thought I had my life all planned out, but things changed and I've been living on plan B since then.  Plan B, is living in the moment and adjusting to life as it comes at you.  I am thankful that this is the way my life turned out.  Thank god I am a horrible test taker and bombed the SAT like 9 times.  I could never break a 1000.  I think it wasn't a good way to determine success by taking the test anyways.  I did well in college and I don't think my SAT score should have been a way to determine success in college.  

Sometimes plans just change.  It's fate...now I'm cruising life in Ojai and couldn't be happier.  Sometimes things turn out the way they are supposed to regardless of plans and preparation.  

Enjoy the ride, one love...

One day at a time is the life I live 

Deep down from within I have so much to give

I will never stop giving you my best

I promise to never settle for anything less

The tides change as the days go by

I get low when the tide gets high

Its been a blessing for the opportunities 

Making my own luck, no mediocrity

The simple things in life seem so free

I don't know about you, but I know about me

Wailing my lungs with the songs I sing.

I just want to clearly get my point across

Show you whats a gain and not a loss.  

Thank you for sticking by my side

I promise you the rest of my life.

One Love,

Sun Fire

Patience is a virtue

It has taken countless hours to get where I am today.  Day after day, grind for grind, I never give up.  There is hardly time for a day off when working on success.  It takes a lot of will power and discipline to stick to this grind.  Things just don't happen overnight, it takes years to build your brand.  I can assure you there is no quit in me.  I will continue to make better music as time goes on.  Better yet the best music possible.  I put my soul on the line for the music.  I wanna speak to you through my music.  I want the music to sweep you off of your feet so you can get lost in it.  Let my music take you to another world.  Get mystified and open your mind.  

We are headed back to the studio this month to continue working on the album.  Hopefully we can figure out the next single on the album.  I am so blessed to have the talent to work with some of the best in the industry.  Presentation is everything and I'm gonna serve it up on a silver platter.  The timing is perfect to work on this album.  The vibes, the good karma, and positive energy are all working in my favor.  I promise, I'll give it my best.

One Love,

Sun Fire

It all works out in the end

Timing is everything in life.  And the timing is right, right now.  The good vibes have been spreading and people are beginning to take notice of my positive movement.  I'm 32 years old and I am a genuinely good person.  At least I would love to believe so.  I treat people with respect and they respond usually very well.  I am educated, which I am very proud of, because there are a lot of ignorant people in the world and I don't want to be one of them.  

I am so ecstatic about my music right now.  Everything is coming together and I am blessed to have some of the best talent in the music business working with me.  I feel like I have paid my dues to deserve this amazing opportunity.  My soul is aligned with the universe right now.  The Law of Attraction has been proven so many times in my life that I do firmly believe in this.  You'll know exactly what I am talking about when you hear this new music.  I wanna thank you for sticking by my side since 2009 when I first created this blog.  Here we are more than halfway thru 2013 and were still pushing forward.  I appreciate everyone who has ever contributed to helping me make music.  No one will be forgotten.

One love,

Sun Fire

What a beautiful morning...

                                                                         Design: 662 Mob

I think about the people who have come and gone thru my lifetime.  Some good, some bad. I sometimes think of the crazy things I have done in my life.  I am happy to have survived.  Thank god I have finally realized it is not my time to go.  I have a vision of growing to be an old man like my grandpa someday.   I never used to think about the future.  It was all so foreign to me, all I ever cared about was the moment.  Which is good, but I was just taking it way too extreme with some of the partying I was doing.  I used to think it came hand in hand with being a musician, but it was more obviously a party than it was a job.  All I needed was an excuse and the party begun.  I don't ever want to be that person again.  When I say party, I'm talking about drugs, Cocaine and Ecstacy.  But it is all so long ago it seems foreign.  I am 212 days sober from alcohol and I'll tell you I feel great.  If you know me personally, I am sure you can't believe it.  But hey I'm trying to be a better person and role model for my son.  I am a better person without the alcohol.

One Love,

Sun Fire

Find a reason

                                          Photo: Sheila Louise

It feels like I have come so far from the way things were 2011.  Everything just fell apart, like rock bottom bad, and now I feel like I put all the pieces back together finally.  I knew I would be able to beat the drama, but I just did not know when that would happen.  For my 2013 New Years resolution, I set my expectations higher for myself and wanted to turn my life completely around.  I knew what I was capable of and now here we are today, August 1, 2013.  It took a good while to get it all back together, but I did.  I did it for myself, my family and for those who love me and most of all my son.  Ain't nothing wrong with a little change.  For those who know me all think I'm like some wild crazy guy, but in actuality, I am not like that anymore.  That was my 20's.  Now I'm a grown ass man at 32 years old.  I may not have everything, but I am rich with love, peace and joy.  We all begin to start understanding life around this time.  I know some people grasp on to the meaning sooner and some later.  Anyways, a change does happen.  Especially when you have children as well.  When a child is involved the stakes are raised so much higher.  The appreciation for life grows, because you gotta love your children as well.  Everyday should be used as a learning experience for the next.  Enjoy your life and make the most of it.  

Daddy loves you Santiago Kai,

One Love,
