London based designer sponsors J-ricz

Nicholas ‘Nico’ Almontero, founder of brand new cutting edge fashion label Disciplined, had a vision: to defy the conventions of high street fashion by only producing highly limited edition clothing lines. Backed up by his previous experience working within retail management, visual merchandising and his BA Hons in Graphic Information Design degree from Westminster University in London, Nico's endless ideas aim to offer an urban style that appeal to a mainstream market. Nico is also has business support form the Princes Trust after under going a ‘Dragons Den’ style panel. 

Each Disciplined hand-crafted garment yields a level of uniqueness rivaled only by that of small boutiques. Whether it is a hand-beaded T-shirt, a crystal-encrusted top or a retro T-dress, Disciplined always delivers designs for people seeking something a bit different.  

All Disciplined garments are designed at our London head office and are specially made in the Philippines. Disciplined is committed to ethical working practices, guaranteed by Nico's regular visits to the production centres, and to this end they offer training schemes and employment to smaller communities in provincial regions.

More pictures from Japan

It's been a full out marketing and promotion for the album GENESIS. So far, Japanese fans enjoy listening to (in no particular order) tracks "Beautiful Life,""When You're in Love,""My Everything,""It's all about You," and "Do For You." It's cool to be displayed next to major label artists in different music stores. I even got my own huge poster! Sweet deal. I'll keep you all posted!

March 16th Album in Store release in Japan!

It's official!!! Japan just re-released my debut album last March 16 in participating retail stores. This is definitely a great opportunity for my music to get exposed and possibly a chance for me to fly there this year. I've never been in Japan other than the time when I had a stop over on my way to Philippines. I hope that folks out there will love the album. Hmm now I just need a copy of that Japanese edition cover!

Props to my Warrior Girl!

Warrior Girl! She's 5' something, light skinned, great dancer, with an awesome smile, and best of all, she's my cousin. Congrats Cristina for being a part of 2009 Golden State Warriors Warrior Girls. I know what you guys are thinking and yes, they will have an Official 2009 Warrior Girls Calendar. Notice that I am showing a much conservative picture of her in the left but that's because c'mon guys! She's my cousin :). I am definitely proud of my cous. By the way she's also a member of a famous local dance group in the Bay Area called Fusion. For more info check her out and the rest of the girls at: http://www.nba.com/warriors/dance/Warrior_Girl_Index.html

P.S. She has 10 Kids! JK
