Received some BIG news from Cas today…
Without a doubt, my favorite artist of all-time is Musiq Soulchild.
I’ve loved his style of music ever since I first listened to his track “Just Friends (Sunny)”. At the time, neo-soul was brand new and fresh, and that one track got me into the genre that introduced me to Maxwell, D’Angelo, Dwele, etc… Anyways, Musiq came to Jakarta this month for the Soulnation Festival. As it just happens, Cas ended up meeting him. The following is an excerpt from our Blackberry Messenger chat:

Musiq is the only dude in my music collection that I own EVERY SINGLE album he’s ever put out, even Christmas albums. I know this is not that much, and maybe he was just being nice, but it’s a start. Even though I’ve had quite the career at age 24, this is by far my most memorable moment, and I hope this pace keeps up.
My FAVORITE ARTIST OF ALL-TIME was bopping his head to MY SONG and was looking to buy the CD… How many people in the WORLD get to brag about that?
And if you haven’t heard it, here’s the making of Harus Bagaimana.
