Ayyy, Chico! You're busy...

Friends -

Here's an update on things Chico related:

Getting ready for our show this Saturday at Public Assembly in Brooklyn. Its shaping up to be an epic night! We'll be performing some new material, etc.

Been working on videos with friends! All the links are below. The video for Dilo Como Yo was something I really had nothing to do with and was made without my consent, but its cool and well-done! The latest one is for Ya Yo Sé. It was made with found-footage transfered from VHS tapes purchased at yard sales! Produced by LeArsenalAV.

Recorded a promotional track and shot a commercial for Rockstar Games' Beaterator, a new music software game. The track and video will be released soon, so I don't want to steal their thunder. Its very funky and it features me sampling from myself...go figure!

As for Trickster for Kids...been talking to a friend about how to effectively fund it through Kickstarter. She's advising me to make it more personal and let people know that I am really an independent artist. I'm not funded by any label or organization. I make music in my own home studio, fueled by love and a never-ending obsession with harmony and syncopation. I'm my own manager, booking agent, label, PR/Marketing person and so on and so forth. I'm very excited to see that interest in what I do is growing. Its a blessing to be able to make music for others to enjoy.

Much love,
Marcos aka Chico
