High All,

Many of you have seen my site & many of you have joined my email list & I would like to thank you all for your kind response to my work. My website has received over 5000 hits since I uploaded it in December & the email list has nearly 200 members. It means a lot to me that Prince fams (known for good musical taste) are enjoying the music I have made.

For anyone who is not yet familiar with The Cloud9 Mission, I am an 18 year old musician from England. I play Drums, Bass, Guitar, Bass, Piano, Tenor Saxophone & Sing. I have been playing for over 15 years (since I was 3). I am embarking on a solo project which you can find out all about at www.cloud9mission.uk.co, my website. You can also hear loads of free music samples from The Cloud9 Mission.

The Cloud9 Mission will be releasing a double 9 track album (18 tracks total) in April 2002. The album will be available as a full set or as individual CD's. The first disc will be made up of mainly pop tunes aimed at recording companies & A&R. The second disc, lets say, will be something a little different. All songs are composed, arranged & performed entirely by me but will also feature guest artists consisting of my friends & family. Please come hear a free sample of the album at www.cloud9mission.uk.co

The tribute to Prince section will be larger & more all round & will now be called The Artist Tribute section. It will feature my arrangements of my favourite songs by Prince, D'angelo, Chaka Khan & Donny Hathaway to name but a few & all songs will be completely free to download. The new version of the website will be up in the next few weeks.

My email list is buzzing with activity at the moment. Nearly 200 people have joined it & we're having some really nice discussions. Everyone in there seems to be loving my music & theres all sorts of different people in there. Im currently talking to John Blakwell & Rhonda Smith of the NPG & they have both emailed me praising my music, see what they said by joining the Emale List. To keep track of news & to join in our discussions please join the list at http://groups.yahoo.com/g...ud9mission or by sending a blank email to Thecloud9mission@yahoogroups.com.

Thanx to everyone who joined my list & who visited my website.

Lewis
