Gramminated.....AGAIN!!

Hey party people,

I am happy to announce that I have been nominated for my 2nd Grammy for my song "Still" off of my album, Music Fan First. It is an exciting time for Independent music. It was just last January when we traveled to California for our 1st Grammy-Nomination for a "Tale of Two". I would like to thank my producer Brett Baker, for creating such an awesome song as well.

I would also like to thank my family and staff for everything! We have been working hard to level the playing field between major and independent music. I think we are making strides. I thank everyone for their love and prayers, and truly ask that you continue to send positive energy this way.

Please visit Grammy.com to get a full list of the nominations.

I would like to give a warm thank you to Live @ Best Buy and everyone that supported yesterday's performance. We had such a great time and we hope you did too! We had the largest crowd the store had seen for this series, and were asked to come back again.

Thank you to my ERF'lings, you all are appreciated.

Peace,

Calling all ERF'ling's

What does ERF'ling mean? Eric Roberson Family (ERF) is Y-O-U. Much more than a fan, you are family.

For so many years, people have said there isn't good music out there. Good music does exist...it's more about getting the word out than there being a lack of good music.

In today's technology, you don't need huge budgets to go global. You need dedicated people who are willing to become individual brand ambassadors.

With new tour dates being scheduled, and a new album on the horizon, the Blue Erro Soul team is always looking for fresh and innovative ideas to help promote me and my music. One thing I've always appreciated is the energy and support I get from my ERF'lings.

We are reaching out to our ERF'lings and asking you to join our team. We want you to be able share and implement your ideas on how you can help promote and spread the word about what we are doing here at Blue Erro Soul. We are very excited about the direction we are going in and having you join us in reaching new heights. We can work together to introduce the rest of the world to "honest music™."

We can't wait to get your feedback. Please comment to this blog, or respond to Facebook or Twitter with your ideas on how the ERF'lings can help market and promote our brand as we gear up for 2011. We will also hold our very first ERF'ling Marketing Ustream Meeting on Wednesday, November 17th at 6pm. This will give you all an opportunity to interact with me and my team as we start strategizing and planning on how we can work together to introduce the rest of the world to my music.

Please make sure you follow @ErroFam on Twitter, join me on Facebook, and sign up for my mailing list to stay informed. Again, I appreciate you all more than I can say and very excited for this opportunity to work together.

MJ Video Game

Photobucket


Yes folks, scheduled for the holiday season 2010 will be a Michael Jackson game. No official title for the new video game. The MJ Estate has given clearance for this project as well. "Microsoft makers of the Xbox 360, have already announced plans to release their Kinetic technology, which uses cameras to read a gamer's body movements and translate them onto the TV screen, all without the use of a controller or remote."

So you'll be able to "get your Michael Jackson" on for real party people. I definitely plan on copping this once it's released.

Now, how many of you remember the MJ game for Sega Genesis?

JAY Z ON SNL

There are several reasons why im posting this performance. For one it was a dope performance. Second i was told that this was the first time an artist ever did a medley on SNL, which is a big statement when considering how many people have rocked that show. But the main reason i am posting this vid is that Music Fan First Producer, Brett Baker can be seen right behind Jay Z playing percussion. Always good to see one of the homies getting it. Now when ever Jay decides to listen to some of them beats its a wrap. Remember you heard it here first.

LENA HORNE - WE LOST THE MOST BEAUTIFUL GIANT OF THEM ALL

I woke up to the sad news that Ms Lena Horne passed away last night at the age of 92. As lover of music, film and theatre i have longed loved and appreciated Lena Horne's work. Her efforts to balance racial equality in film, theatre and on the road has allowed all of us the luxuries of creative choices only dreamed of before her. Thank you Ms. Horne from being one of the classiest women that has ever walked this earth. And heaven has definitely gotten even more stylish.

PHIL ADE - Always There

This is an artist i've been keeping an eye on for some time. Im definitely feeling the video and the energy in it. Shout out to Raheem and 368 Music Group.

Pray For Those In Haiti

The main reason I am posting this is because i want to share one of the most inspiring moments I've ever witnessed. By now you may have heard about the 8 year old boy who was pulled from the rubble after being trapped for a week. The moment they pulled him out and he stretched out his arms is possibly the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. Keep praying for them, keep donating what you can...

M. Swift ft. Eric Roberson - Game

This is a project i worked on last year with an amazing producer named M. Swift. Check the album out. I did another house song on the album as well. Check out more of his music at www.myspace.com/mswiftmusic2

Lost Another Great


Saddened my heart to first hear of the suffering in Haiti and then to hear about the legendary Teddy Pendergrass passing away last night at the age of 59. My prayers go out to his family.


Prayers for Haiti

The devastation that has hit Haiti truly pulls at my heart strings. Hearing numerous stories from family and friends about those affected by this. I send prayers to each and everyone affected. Song that comes to mind is MJ with "Heal The World." If you can donate please do so. I know that Wyclef's proceeds go 100% towards the people of Haiti. More information is available at www.yele.org in order to donate.

Continue to say a prayer for those affected because it will be a long time before things are somewhat restored for them and especially for a country that was already extremely poor.

On behalf of myself, family and Blue Erro Soul staff we send our thoughts, prayers and love to everyone.
