The time is 5:30 a.m. I bet you ask, “Why so early?” Well, let’s just say that it is going to be a long day. My first task of the day is to work out before my first studio session. I dreadfully walk down the hall into the family workout room. It is a little strange that we call it that considering only my mom and I live there. The work out begins with a fifteen minute warm-up on the treadmill. This is just to get my blood flowing for the next exercise. After the treadmill, comes the bicycle and after the bicycle is the weight bench. My work out concludes with ten sets of ten push-ups and sit-ups. This step of my day usually lasts for about an hour and a half. I know that good physical training is needed for the events that are planned for today. Next I jump in the shower and take care of all of my other personal hygiene tasks. As I lay down on my bed, the time is now about 7:30. I quickly take out my song book to look over the songs that have to be recorded today. This always helps me to remember some of my lyrics so that when it is time to record, the words are already some-what in my mind.
After my lyric review, I walk downstairs to get something hot to eat and drink. I open the refrigerator and there isn’t anything at all except for a jug of water, mayonnaise, a couple of eggs, and condiments. So I walk over to the cabinet and grab a can of soup and some green tea. I know, soup for breakfast doesn’t sound very intriguing to me either. Never the less, I heat the some and boil some water for the tea. The combination of tea and soup did not taste that great going down my throat, but I had to warm my vocal chords for my 9:00 studio session. Next I hopped in the car and headed off to my three hour studio session. I had no idea that it would be so difficult to sing such high notes that early. I mean, I took choir in high school first period, but this was nothing like it. After the studio session, my day was pretty exciting! First barbershop, then PHOTO SHOOT!... see next blog for part II.

It must be tough having to get up that early every day. But if its what you want to do go for it. It is not easy trying to get the things in life that you want, but it sounds like you are on the right track. Keep it up, looking forward to hearing you on the radio some day.
