Well the album is complete, finished, ready to go!!! It will be a few more weeks till it is packaged and in your hands. My Son Diego has the CD on repeat in the truck. I think for it being our first album it sounds freakn amazing. Maybe I am being biased or the fact that we had some amazing people on this record. Its great and you are gonna love it. I think once the record is out and in the hands of the world I will not listen to it again…Maybe to reference for live performances, radio or at promotional events. Other then that I don’t think I will listen to it. Yeah, I know it’s a weird thing isn’t it? I can’t explain it, and won’t even try. Maybe it’s an artist thing? Maybe just me…That doesn’t matter though, we poured our sweat, blood and tears into the Anthems Project and you are going to burn the cd out!!! Tell your friends about it as you do. I am gonna take a few “mind and brain” weeks off once the record drops. Once those few weeks pass I will start writing for our 2nd album…It never stops…never

This coming Monday I leave to Cambodia. It is going to be the longest Flight I have ever taken. We’re gonna meet the amazing crew that makes up the People For Care and learning organization. Fred Garmon is taking us out there to see first hand what TSP will be part of. I can’t wait. They tell me it is going to be a life changing trip, I believe. I have no clue what to expect, what I will see, hear or feel…All I know is that I am ready. We are going to perform while we are there, and even though the people in Cambodia won’t understand what we are saying and singing, they will know we are there for a greater cause. I will admit I am nervous beyond my nerves…

Following that trip the band is gonna take a day or so to rehearse in Atlanta before we hit the stage at Winter Fest in Knoxville TN. We’ve never performed at a venue this big as “the saturn project”, but you better believe we are ready to bring the fire to the stage. The next 3 weeks are going to be intense. Please have me on your mind, pray for us, pray for my family, and to my South Floridian neighbors and LPC fam, please take care of Reina, Diego and the Little one while I am gone…Before I leave my house on Monday I will tell Diego, “Daddy is going to help a broken world, and one day you will do the same too. See yah in a bit”.

Not sure what life will look like after those shows and the Anthems being released all over the world. We are going to do everything and anything to get this music out, get people dancing, believeing and doing something good for this planet. Until then Good morning, Good evening and Good night.

Yesterday I was out for the count with a flew bug. I think it’s almost gone though…Lots of fluid i think drowned it out. So last night Reina, Diego and myself took a walk to get out the house and get some fresh air. We talked about what’s been going on and wondering what’s next. I must admit I am really nervous and scared about the next few weeks. From flying to Cambodia and performing infront of possibly 20,000 people at Winter Fest. I try not to listen to the Anthems album too much, maybe I am my own worst critic. I think the music sounds amazing, the band is super tight, the song writing is there, my voice?…I guess it’s just weird listening to yourself. This is the greatest project I have ever been part of. To think this album is gonna help build a village across the globe, is pretty overwhelming and nerve recking. Every part of me feels underqualified, but then again aren’t we all. God takes the dysfunctional and does some amazing things. Or miracles I should say. Not  sure what life is gonna look like this year…

We finally got a vehicle after waiting months to hear from Insurance companies. This whole accident we were in totally flipped things inside out. Christmas eve our Chevy Blazer was totalled when “john Doe” took a stop sign and rammed into us. My Dad was hurt in the accident and I’ve had some neck and back issues since, hence the therapy pics on Facebook and electro twitters. It’s all good though, I know everything will work out. We’re in the market to buy a home so that’s been our new project.

I am trying my best to stay sane throughout this whole album process, our accident, and everything else. It has been so much work, but I know it is going to pay off. I am excited for this journey thus far. I know it won’t be easy but the outcome will be great. I just got an opportunity to pitch some of my acoustic spanish songs to an amazing artist, soon enough I will tell you who…It is jaw dropping a little.

Great things are happening here at Life Pointe, and the Santoyo’s are excited and proud to be part of it. We’re going on 2 yrs here in South Florida and it looks like we will be here for a very long time. I hope you guys don’t mind?…That’s it for now. I’m gonna focus on being Jesse the husband, father, friend, leader and companion I know I can be for sure…Not sure I fit into the rockstar, world changer, and pastor trousers yet…

peace

So i am here sitting inside this medal booth, sippin on some cafe con leche y vañilla.  I can’t stress enough how motivated, ecstatic and passionate I am in this stage of my life. Is everything perfect in my life? HECK-EEE NAW MAN!!!! Things have been tougher then ever, but God watches over his children and life right now is THEEEE BEZT. I love my wife like never before!!! Can’t wait to make more babies with her!!!! YEAH!!!!—- I love my son like never before. I love the 2nd baby on the way without even meeting him or her yet!!! I love my nephew as if he were my son!!! I look forward to this journey as a family and my days off where I can venture off with them, vacation, and make some amazing memories!!!

To think that this album “anthems for a broken world” is gonna be part of a bigger cause and build a village across the globe for families I don’t even know!!!! Moves me!!! To know we are giving 100% of this project to missions! moves me!  To know I am doing this with my little bro is freakn awesome!!! To know that one day this cd will be sitting on my table and I can tell all my kids and their kids, “do you know what that album did?…..)

I am so excited to see that I am being crushed and rebuilt to lead as I have been intended to as a follower of Christ!!! I am being challenged, stretched and refined by his mercy, his love and his grace.

To think I am part of one of the most amazing church movements in the country motivates me to motivate others on this journey! To know that I am working with one of the  greatest Visionaries, friend, God fearing dude and “biff” look alike, is the coolest thing ever!!! Hope it keeps going!!!

The thought of one day leading an arts community motivates me to grow, grow and grow!!! Read Read Read!!! Act Act Act, perform peform perform, speak speak speak

To know the people at LPC are growing spiritually like never before, even in a times like these. Thats motivating.

With all that being said and done, I am thankful for eternal life!

To know that times may get tougher, storms may arise,currents may be stronger,  but we shall over come, in the name of the one who made us. See yah in a bit.
