I’d like to thank everyone that’s been submitting their story concepts. I’ve received over a hundred stories so far from incredible writers and we will be looking over them for the next few weeks. So please do keep submitting material to me if you feel they are compelling enough.

As an independent producer and as requested, I am putting out songs that I record with various Artists via iTunes and internet stores. If you like to download via iTunes from your computer or iPhone, please do so as it supports these talented Artists making a living from what they do. Thanks and I hope you enjoy.
Check out some of my songs that I’ve produced and wrote along with some other songwriters. The songs are up for sale as references for placements and licensing opportunities. If there are any interest in my records on the business level, please do email me. Thank you.
PS: Some songs will be available as is via iTunes for download very soon. Stay tuned and check back as the download links will be available.
Here’s a song that I wrote months ago. My Artist Stefanna, who’s 16 yrs old with incredible vocal abilities, is ready to do some live shows. This video is in my recording studio where we were rehearsing just to rehearse. I thought she did so great that I thought she was ready to do a live performance at a place in the city called the Sugarbar.
It’s a pretty high end place where they do Thursday night open mics with a lot of great acts. So I’ll be having her perform and see where it goes. I hope you guys enjoy the song titled “Crazy Love”. If you guys like this video, please do share it and please subscribe to my website and youtube channel. Thank you
I just started working with an upcoming Artist/songwriter named Jean Elizabeth. She’s incredibly talented and she’s probably one of the few encounters I met throughout my 9 years of being in this industry that have potential of becoming a star. Of course, becoming a star is more than being talented. And of course, it’s up to their work ethics, commitments, priorities, sacrifices, and intelligence that will determine their success.
Below is a clip of a new song that Jean and I wrote. Too bad I didn’t get the chance to blog the making of the track and because I have a lot of other videos that shows how I created the song, I decided to just show how the record came out. Let me know what you guys think. Leave me comments, subscribe to my youtube channel, rate the video, and if anyone have questions for me, please do contact me.
In my next blog post, I’ll be posting my first TUTORIAL about recording. Please do subscribe to my website (on the rightside) and youtube channel (link below)
In this very short video, you’ll see the process of making this simple track, writing the melodies/lyrics, and recording it in under 3:00 minutes. It’s not a tutorial (soon will come), but it’s just to give you a sense of what we do in 2 sessions. Sometimes I do get to finish all of this in one session and then mix the following day. Please leave me comments or ask any questions. Also if you can, please subscribe to my youtube page.
It’s been about 2 weeks since I bought the Canon 5d Mark ii. And this is the first time I shot video on it. I did the track in less than 60 minutes. Just building up a foundation to the track and then later on do some real production to it. What I usually like to do is lay down a skeleton track, see if I can sing a melody to see if inspired melodies are delivered, and then write to it with a certain arrangement to the track. After it’s written (which isn’t on this track specifically), I then start “real” production. If live strings are needed or adding more drums and other sounds, then that’s what I need to do.
So here’s a clip of laying down the foundation to the track. Leave me comments or questions on my forum so I may answer it. Thanks
In consideration of being down for 2 weeks for being sick, Julliards memory project finals, and getting up to speed on things, we were able to edit part of the Crazy Love Mixing Session. We’re finally done mixing Crazy Love and we are packaging Stefanna’s project to gain some feedback on the whole project.
So far, there’s been progress, but we haven’t fully set out the plan of attack. As soon as we get some feedback from our major connects, then we’ll set a plan of attack and stick with the plan. So below is the video of the mixing session of Crazy Love. Enjoy!
The song titled “Crazy Love” was Produced by James Fallon and I. I wrote the lyrics and music and arranged the whole song. James is friends with Billy from Rat Race Choir and Billy laced the drums down. An amazing drummer. Went into the studio, took maybe 30 minutes of drums takes and that was it. Check out the video and leave me some comments. If there’s any questions, you can always post on the forum. Enjoy =)
In 2008, I moved out to Manhattan to find more opportunities and to be closer with talented people that can just take a Cab or Train to my studio. I did a lot of work in Manhattan and accomplished many things. It was very expensive living in a small apt where neighbors from all 3 sides (upstairs, downstairs, left wall in another building!) was always complaining to me. Luckily I had a great landlord. But anyways the video below is a clip of some upcoming songwriters named Cannon & Phyllis where we collaborated on a song.
I hope you enjoy the Video. More to come!
