After 5 years of development Jinxx McCloud’s not for profit indi label En Tia Sing Sounds Presentings the new full length album “En Tia Sing” (en~ti~cing). The album exhibits 21 songs with zero filler tracks! Experimentation, adaptation and open ended original direction and approach to music have been some of the guidelines used by Jinxx for this album. From an early age Jinxx �the chimney� McCloud developed a profound interest in music as a way of self expression and release. Seeing that music has harbored a broad array of influence on societies around the world has Jinxx brings a new recipe for incorporating many genres of music into a single album Jinxx has always placed the true expression of the spirit reflected in ones creativity with music as a much higher priority than commerce. To �The Chimney� being original and open minded about music is far superior to channeling the music creativity thru trends and marketing in order to get popular and rich from, sell units. That is why in 2007 Indi label en tia sing sounds was created in order to release the collection in its entirety, unfiltered and free from industry pressures and controls. This collection has been growing in McCloud�s lab over the past 5 years of development to strengthen its broadly different styles and influences from over a large time period.

As an mc Jinxx McCloud began his journey 10 years ago with a tape recorder and a goal. That goal was to gather equipment piece by piece, develop hundreds of verses in his lyrical library, and to one day release a full length album of professional quality with influences and genre blending that has never been released before. Being original and true to ones self has been the only restriction applied to his musical development.

As a producer Jinxx McCloud developed thru hundreds of productions for the 1999 – 2001 group Elevated Mindstate in which he was the exclusive producer and one of 3 mc�s. Later Jinxx became heavily influenced by drum and bass music which added another dimension to the productions “The Chimney” was to later use for development for this album. Later spending time in england and holland with uk drum and bass producer and mentor Q-Trax Jinxx further developed his productions. Q-Trax has a production which was originally to be featured on an Elevated Mindstate track recorded in 2001 titled �that ish�. This is the most dated track on the album yet the quality is right with many very new tunes.

As a DJ Jinxx has been mixing and scratching for over 10 years now, all scratching done on this release were done by Jinxx. Blending different genres of music as a DJ with the deep foundations Jinxx has with Hip Hop has proven to be interesting.

As a songwriter Jinxx has been working on another project with even more experimentation with acoustic instruments over the past several years. Planned to be complete summer of 2008.
