KaBERTRAM!!! ...it's all about the music.
Welcome to KaBertram!!! - an explosion of sound, motion, entertainment, and talented people from all around the world, all making music together. And if KaBertram! was a hurricane, then Ray Bertram would be the eye at the center of the storm. Ray, a life-long "compulsive writer," started writing at a very age and he's never stopped. When Ray turned his writing in the direction of lyrics in 2008, things really started hopping. Working together with good friend and partner, musician/song-writer/producer and creative genius John Surbaugh, Ray co-founded BCC Global: The Back Country Connection, which made it possible for him to take his writing and cover the world with it. Ray has now seen his writing produced into songs in the United States (Tennessee, California, Ohio, North Caroline, Georgia), Sweden, The Netherlands, South Africa, England, Ireland, Germany, Austria, and beyond. In 2010, Ray and another one of his frequent partners, Swedish singer/musician/song-writer/producer Anders Larson, were signed by the prominent Swedish promotional house, Hit Works, and in the time since numerous of their songs have been placed under contract and aggressively marketed all around the world. And, to date, Ray's writing has been produced into songs covering many genres, including Pop, Euro-Pop, Folk-Rock, Country, Rock-a-billy, Adult Contemporary, Jass/Swwing, Rap, and more. Ray continues to write and to continually direct his creative energies onward and upward, always striving to reach higher and to move in new directions.

Story behind the song
I initially wrote the first draft of this lyric in March of 2008. My good friend producer and fellow songwriter, Robert Baitinger (Germany), quickly picked it up and had a first round production demo done by April, 2008. This is a song that Robert has gone back and worked on again and again over the years, each time making it a little better and raising it a little higher. Then, in 2011, the production of "It's About Me" reached all new levels when highly talented Canadian vocalist Kayla Williams agreed to enter into the project. I thoroughly enjoyed writing the core lyric behind this song and I can't help but love the beautiful and compelling production that Robert has now given it. And whenever I think about the piece, I can't help but relfect on these words that Robert shared about it back in 2008: "I picked this one up last week. I could really relate to the lyrics that Ray wrote. A few years ago I noticed that I was stuck in everyday routines…job, family, commitments, etc. There was no room for my dreams. Well, I took two weeks off and made one of my dreams come true. For me, that is what this song is about. I love this tune and put a lot of effort into it. I hope everybody likes it." This song has touched a lot of people in very positive ways, it continues to move forward, and we how that you enjoy listening to it. Ray Bertram
Lyrics
"(Starting Right Now) It's About Me" Verse 1: I watch the sun go down And I watch it rise I'm watching my life pass Right before my eyes I feel myself slowly Slipping away But that ends right now It ends right here today Chorus: Starting right now It's all about me So much I wanna do So much I wanna see I wanna do it all While I'm young and I'm free So starting right now It's about me Verse 2: I'm gonna put down What I got to do And I'm gonna pick up Just what I want to There's too many sweet dreams That I want to chase So I'm busting out Of this mad rat race Chorus: Starting right now It's all about me So much I wanna do So much I wanna see I wanna do it all While I'm young and Im free So starting right now It's about me Bridge: It's my time to live...it's my time to shine Now it's time for me to take what is mine Chorus: Starting right now It's all about me So much I wanna do So much I wanna see I wanna do it all While I'm young and I'm free So starting right now It's about me Music & lyrics: Ray Bertram / Robert Baitinger Production: Robert Baitinger Vocals: Kayla Williams "(Starting Right Now) It's About Me" (c) 2011 W.
