2010 OUTMusic Awards highlights

manasquan, new jersey

i had the honour of being awarded Best International Artist at the OMA's for my song, Disco Berimbau (Riera Remix). i was also nominated for the Best Producer category for Fun Boyz.

it was a real honour to be nominated. i dedicated my award to my great-grandmother, Alice Bautista, who lives in the interior of minas gerais, brasil. i got to see her a few weeks ago just before her 89th birthday, and that was very special to me.

here's a collection of my favorite moments from that night. you can see the full album of fotos on Facebook, here.

one of the great things about working with Roger is that we're always taking time out to play.

there's got to be some mafia-bloodline backstory to this. let me know if you know how it goes. with Mike Ruiz and Martin Berusch.

i was also a presenter for that evening. fun!
