Despite retiring from live performing, the Whatever I Do (Wherever I Go) hitmaker recently teased plans to record more new music.

“YES I will still be recording (at a very, very leisurely pace) and I will be back in the studio soon working on some remixes for the upcoming Dean & Ware Collections, and of course will be recording new material in 2022.

“I’m very excited for the new projects ahead of me, both professional and personal.”
