Today I had the opportunity to be a judge for the Vertical Music Awards in Bogota, Colombia. I connected with the TV station Vertical Music while on tour in Colombia, and they brought be back for my expertise as a composer and orchestrator. We gave out 20 awards and lots of cash and other prizes. The crowd was crazy, the show was fun, and my buddy Obie Obien and I were among the first people to go down the red carpet for pictures and interviews.
