DWTS' Mark Ballas Working on New Album
According to USA Today, Dancing with Stars professional Mark Ballas is working on a new album. He also released a video this past Friday which has a sneak peek of some of the songs that will be present on the album.
The songs previewed, She, Miss Incredible and Nicci, show a flamenco inspired style of music. Ballas says in the video, "The flamenco kind of paves the way for me to be really versatile in my playing,"
Ballas has been heavily influenced by his talented family. His father, a fellow guitar player, played a huge part in his musical upbringing. "It was something, as soon as it started applying myself and becoming dedicated to, I never wanted to stop," Ballas says.
The dancer has been working on the album with Wizz Dumb and Jim Beanz who are frequent collaborators with Timbaland. In addition he is working with the Stereotypes, Jozzy, BC Jean and Clarence Coffee Jr. This album, as of now untitled, is his follow up to 2011's HurtLoveBox.
Ballas has appeared on every season of the show and helped stars like Kristi Yamaguchi and Shawn Johnson take the trophy. Currently, he is partnerd with gymnast and gold medal winner, Aly Raisman.
