‘Tis the season of giving and this year I wanted to do something a little different, and a lot exciting to celebrate the holidays with you!

By helping me spread the Christmas spirit — and sharing a link to my brand new holiday single “Perfect (Merry Little Christmas)” — I will help you add some brand new music to your playlist.

All you have to do is share this link: http://bit.ly/pfct. It’s really that simple.

For each 1,500 clicks that this link receives (we have ways of tracking it) I will release an EXCLUSIVE gift. It could be a brand new song that will be on my next album, a new Christmas recording, a song that ALMOST made it on my last album, an unreleased collaboration with a notable artist, or some other highly awesome downloadable gift. Trust me, there are  no duds in this santa’s bag! And, if you help me reach #1 on the iTunes holiday singles chart on any day before December 25th, I will release an additional exclusive download.

With every 1,500 clicks, I will announce a hint at what the next gift will be on Facebook and Twitter.

Below is a breakdown of how it will work:

1,500 clicks – awesome gift
3,000 clicks – equally awesome gift
4,500 clicks – also an awesome gift
6,000 clicks – possibly a more awesome gift than the first 3
7,500 clicks - such an awesome gift even Santa himself is a little jealous
#1 on iTunes chart – i’m not one to beat a dead horse, but…

On that note, let’s kick things off with a hint at the first gift you’re clicking for:

GIFT#1 is an exclusive, never-before-released, song that I wrote and recorded with a Grammy Award winning producer/songwriter. This genius has written hits for Beyonce, Colby Caillat, Fergie, Kelly Clarkson, Alicia Keys and Ricky Martin, among others. The song will be released on a future album, but YOU can have it for FREE ahead of everyone else! All you have to do is get your friends clicking/downloading from this link: http://bit.ly/pfct

HAPPY SHARING!

It was late Tuesday night and we had just wrapped shooting the music video for the song a few hours earlier in North Vancouver. I was so tired, I couldn’t even sleep. I found myself on iTunes clicking through random songs, as I do oftentimes, hoping I’ll stumble upon something that will rock my world. As I did so, I thought to my self “how cool would it be if Perfect made it on the iTunes charts?”. With that thought in the back of my brain, I started looking at the Holiday chart. Much to my surprise, I saw…well, my name at #41. I immediately needed to tell a friend about this, but it was kind of late, so I did what every kindhearted friend does when he or she doesn’t want to wake friends 2AM – I told Facebook. And maybe Twitter.

I went to bed still buzzing and woke to find it had climbed all the way to #11. Over the next few hours it went from 11 to 10, from 10 to 9, 9 to 7 and eventually 5 to the 4th slot on the chart. Just 3 spots away from the top holiday song in all of Canada. And all of these first three slots were held by a certain young man with hair that makes 12 year old girls swoon (Don’t be mistaken – I’m a belieber. Not a hater).

Anyways, here is some photographic evidence if you don’t believe me. That’s right, I was sandwiched between the Biebs, Buble and Mariah. Not bad company if I do say so myself. To all who downloaded the single, thank you so much. If you haven’t downloaded “Perfect” yet, this should make the process generally quick and painless: http://bit.ly/prfect

Merry Early Christmas to you.

The Yamaha crew and highly acclaimed photographer, Rob Shanahan, flew up to Vancouver for the shoot, where I was able to introduce them to a few of my favourite spots in Gastown. You can read the article here and you can also watch the behind the scenes video from my photo shoot below. Hope you enjoy!
