With this track and video, really wanted to create something that isn't your typical Christmas tune. And I think we accomplished that. In the "Winter In The Sun" music video, we're spicing things up with a unique blend of holiday cheer and Florida's sun-kissed vibrations.

Imagine: the traditional festive season meets the vibrant, carefree spirit of Miami's beaches. In this music video, directed and shot by yours truly, #AceShotThat, we're flipping the script on winter. We're trading snowflakes for sunbeams and bulky coats for bright red bikinis. My wife, Gabrielle and myself along with our crew, light up the screen, bringing joy and energy that's as warm as the Florida sun.

But wait, there's more! We're showcasing the heart and soul of South Florida - families laughing and eating tropical fruit, the mesmerizing skills of fire dancers at South Pointe Park, and the irresistible charm of our favorite local markets. It's a celebration of community, connection, and holiday spirit in a setting you might not expect.

And here's the cherry on top: I'm joining in the fun with a dash of reggae, infusing the song with my Jamaican roots. When Gabrielle and I come together in a duet, it's magic. Our voices blend like the sea meeting the shore, creating a rhythm that'll have you swaying along with the palm trees.

So come on over, join the party, and feel the warmth of "Winter In The Sun." It's more than a music video; it's an invitation to dance, laugh, and make merry in a way only we can down here in sunny Florida. Let's make this holiday one to remember, with love, light, and a whole lot of fun.
