Leticia and I are pleased to announce the birth of our first child, Fernando Eli Nguyen.

My coterie of Bulgarian friends are well represented throughout the new album, to my great delight and satisfaction. On “Green Earth”, it’s just me and Trombobby. I asked him to record a trombone solo knowing he would lend the track his taste as a producer and his mastery as an instrumentalist.

Isn’t time enjoyed together the sweetest fruit of love? “Samedi”, the fourth track on “Whatever You’re Feelin’”, encapsulates this feeling of having nowhere to be except the present moment (for any uninitiated francophones, samedi is French for Saturday). I hope you’ll feel the love in this recording, featuring an amazing band of Brazilian musicians ~ Jaderson Cardoso on drums, Enielse on bass, Josué Mariano on guitar, and Larissa Marinonio on backing vocals. Perhaps it'll give you a taste of Saturday when you hear it.

Happy birthday, mom! After about two years of writing, recording, producing, and designing my first full length album,
it’s now streaming worldwide.

In just one week, my debut solo album Whatever You’re Feelin’ will arrive on the internet! I have advance copies of the CD available now on my website.

The second single, Heal, is out on streaming platforms today. The song features my dear friend and frequent collaborator, drummer Max Macveety.

Birthday blog post: new song, new album, new life 🐣
