This morning WPIX Ch. 11 covered us writing & recording Anti-Bullying songs with students.
Watch the video here at WPIX Morning News.

Artist and Educator Traciana Graves of Project Bully Free Zone speaking with WPIX Ch. 11 on the importance of raising self-assured children.  Music Producer/Songwriter Boo Boo Cousins & Ms. Graves are embarking on writing and recording Anti-Bullying songs with various students from various walks of life.  This includes high schools, shelters and community youth centers.
This video also includes film footage by filmmaker Talibah Newman as well as photography from Ms. Newman and Mr. Cousins.  For this project Ms. Newman is directing music videos based around the students and the songs.

I notice already the students getting the message and sending out positive messages in their lyrics to those who might not be in the best places to help themselves.

Here’s an instrumental I just wrote that reminds me of models on a runway for some reason, but can also work in other media forms. It’s entitled “Designer Track“.

Sleek instrumental with a modern feel of style and class. High fashion and the jet set life. Brings on a vibe of intrigue. Works well with various media, commercials, films, presentations, introductions.

This instrumental can be licensed here – http://booboocousins.com/p/popinstrumentals.html

I’m still at work on my new CD “A World Gone Mad”.  Here’s the first track from the album and it’s entitled “Female Companion”.  “What style do you call this?”  Uh, a little bit of soul, a little bit of rock, a little bit of pop, but overall it’s just music. 

Get the free download here and if you feel gracious enough, please buy a copy here at Bandcamp.  The link for the music video on Youtube is here.  It’s an animated music video with a story to it, so some of you will really dig it. 

Please pass around the word about the music and feel free to send me any feedback or leave comments on the Youtube page.

I hope your endeavors are keeping you creative in whatever you do.
I wanted to introduce a new section of my website. It’s a music licensing page with various instrumentals in different genres.
The link is here – http://booboocousins.com/lic/licensemusic.html
The genres include pop, light easy listening, soul/r&b, hip hop, rock, strings, dance/club/electronic and soundscapes.
There is dramatic music, fun quirky stuff, moody styles and more.
They are all for use in commericals, promotions, advertisements, Youtube and online videos, films, theatre, video games, podcasts, radio, websites and all multimedia related businesses.
I’m working right now to add audio logos for businesses and websites as well as audio sequences for trailers.
The music can be instantly downloaded for purchase and license. As of now lo-fi versions of the music can be downloaded for use as demonstrations.
This is for videographers and directors testing material for clients.
Over the span of writing and recording I’ve acquired the talent of being able to create custom music based on descriptions.
Not a lot of people know how to do this well so I know I’m blessed.
I play and perform to give the music a warm feel to fit your film/video, so we can make the music go through hills and valleys to give your product a fresh and distinctive sound.
I give you a great option of standing out in the crowd in your promotions while getting your message across to your audience.
Months ago I introduced another website for this type of music production service, but discontinued the use of that site.
I find it is better for me to keep the instrumentals on this website instead of switching back and forth for now.
On this blog you’ll be able to read up on some of the updates of instrumentals.
I needed to focus on music and it was just too much handling that site as well as this one.
I put lots of love into the songs.
If you have any questions, suggestions or messages feel free to contact me by email. It is music at booboocousins.com
Thanks and enjoy the tunes.

The song “The Way She Moved” from the “Say Something Beautiful” CD has a music video that was created for it.
