Hell of a Habit

The music video for Hell of a Habit is officially on the world wide web: 

Major thanks to Matt Rozell of LakeAround Films (videographer) and John & Jude Jaszcz 

 I would like to take a moment to discuss the process:
 We started shooting at a location where there were shops, boutiques, and PEOPLE...people that rubbernecked at the lurchy giant strutting around dramatically with a guitar whilst singing along to a boombox. At one point during the shoot, I was doing a full run of the song where the frame was from the waist up, and was instructed to go full out with dramatic hand gestures. So there I was flailing my arms about (throwing a few air fist bumps -a la Celine Dion in there) when I realized that the window behind Matt/the camera was for a hair salon...and the 20+ people in that salon were crowded against the glass watching me spazz out. Unfortunately for you all, I'm not sure any of those shots made it into the video, although that's probably for the best. Not to worry though, you will catch a glimpse or two of me whipping my hair back and forth in the style of Willow Smith....you're welcome. We shot for about three hours, which basically consisted of Matt filming take after take of me singing/playing in different locations. Hope you all enjoy the end result, and feel free to pass it along.

Again, I cannot stress enough how thankful I am for this opportunity. I love to sing, I love to write, and I am getting to work with incredible people who inspire me everyday.
