He\u2019s credited on Justin Bieber\u2019s newest album,\xa0Justice, and has just finished music directing on NBC\u2019s new show, Kenan.

In October, he released his latest single, \u201cDistant Shore." The track encapsulates that of a siren\u2019s call, instantly pulling you in with it's electronic, upbeat energy and his entrancing vocals. It\u2019s the perfect song to get lost to as you dance all night long. This is the first track of many, as an album is on its way.\xa0
