Inside the Recording Studio: Day 2
I can't believe my time in the studio is halfway over! It's gone by really fast, but luckily we've gotten a lot done. We're actually ahead of schedule: 5 songs are finished (except for mixing), and all that is left for the 6th song is vocals. We'll...

Friday Fave: Model Me Going Places
Last summer I had the privilege of writing and recording songs to narrate the Model Me Kids video, Model Me Faces and Emotions (read my post about it here). It was a tremendously fun project; in fact, I was a little sad when all the work was done and the songs were...
