LEGO

The GRAMMY-nominated trio Stereotypes have just released a new song called “LEGO” that they did both the production and performance on… It’s getting a lot of buzz and I’m def feeling the song too! It seems Jon Street (ah, I recall the Wisemen days..) has gotten the “rap” bug back after his verse on the Stereotypes produced “Girls on the Dance Floor” track for Far East Movement. MC Three joins in on this banger that’s sure to get your butt in the groove!!

If you’re not familiar, get familiar…chances are you’ve already heard and loved a Stereotypes beat. From “Damaged” by Danity Kane to Neyo’s “Why Does She Stay;” “Good Love” Mary J. Blige ft. T.I.; FM’s “Rocketeer” and yes..they’ve made Justin Bieber music to with “Somebody to Love.” And — they’ve been working with Bruno Mars since before he was “Bruno Mars” …need I say more…I’m a fan regardless!! 🙂 BTW…the On The Flipside (show open) theme is a Stereotypes beat too…

The “POP UP” Spokesperson

When you visit my website Aubrey Up Close chances are you have encountered my “video spokesperson” …. you know, the little Aubrey who pops up and starts talking to welcome you to my site!?!? I can’t tell you how many times people have asked how I did that, or they tell me it ‘scared’ them & that their PC speakers were up loud and …there I was!! LOL My niece and nephew, Ella and Dante, make their Mom play it over and over every time she visits my blog to see “Auntie Aubrey!” You can probably see the play icon on the bottom left corner of your screen now. Well, that is just my creative way to welcome my online visitors LIVE… I’ve got a different version On The Flipside too!

The video is shot on a “green screen” and then my image/video is coded for my website template and voila! Lots of companies are now using this type of “technology” to reach out to clients and greet them with a more personal connection… I work with a company called VSP to record these intros, so you never know where I may just “pop up!”

Anyhow, just thought I’d offer some insight about this since people ask all the time…pretty cool, huh?

Lastly, here’s my demo reel for being a video spokesperson…

If you’re interested in having me as a spokesperson on your site… or someone else (grrr! LOL), contact Rohan at VSP  – http://www.videospokespeople.com He’s the BEST in the biz and be sure to tell him I sent you!! 😉

Better Day

Hey guys! I have a new music blog to start off this Monday… and it’s all for a good cause. My talented friends The Trackrunners, produced the track “Better Day” and put together the following song/video project. It’s a FREE DOWNLOAD!! Please support and check it out! http://rebuildjapantoday.com

“Better Day” was written as a tribute to the victims of the recent earthquake/tsunami disaster in Japan. It’s simple…we love to make music and we wanted to put that passionate energy towards a positive cause. They say that music is a universal language, which is why we are using our music to connect to the world. We spent countless hours in the studio and put a lot of heartfelt, positive energy into this project in hopes that our music will not only raise awareness around the tragic events, but will motivate people to take action. Each donation, whether big or small, makes a difference. Help to rebuild Japan today. Spread the word. Take action.
