The songs previewed, She, Miss Incredible and Nicci, shows 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 family which contains many different artists. 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.

Ballas 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 win it all. Currently, he is partnerd with gymnast and gold medal winner, Aly Raisman.

Ballas hopes these albums will bring him as much recognition as fellow DWTS Pro, Julliane Hough. Hough took her career on the show and released a Top 20 song and moved from there into a movie career.
