EDM to Jazz!

This has been another busy year here at DBW. We finished a big classic rock CD where we incorporated a violin bow on our guitar (ala Jimmy Page), a Jazz CD, and helped launch a Hip Hop record label called “Tre Entertainment”! We’re also happy to be working with Mark Burnett Music Group artist “Destiny Malibu”.

Destiny

I’ve been working with Destiny from the very beginning and by beginning I mean from the time she was 5 years old! She’s now signed to reality show mogul (producer of everything from “The Voice” to “Survivor”) Mark Burnett’s new music publishing company. Destiny is an amazing and versatile singer/songwriter who lately has been writing and recording EDM/Rap style songs but who can easily switch gears and do pop or even folk inspired material. This girl can really sing and it’s really exciting working with her again and being a part of the production “team”! To show her true musicianship, here’s a cover of the song “Here” by Alessia Cara she recorded with me that really exposes her voice. I’m playing bass guitar on this track and Dillon is on piano.

Here’s a cool EDM song she tracked here called “Love Hurts”. I recorded the vocals, mixed and mastered this.

G Money Baby!

Galo (aka G Money) is back in the studio after taking a break. We recorded his debut Hip Hop CD called “It’s My Time” (available on iTunes) back about 10 years ago. One song even featured an up and coming actor named Shia LaBeouf! This time around Galo is starting his own label called “Tre Entertainment” and will be featuring not only himself but several other up and coming artists. You’re truly is co-producing and mixing and adding some magic here or there;-)

Sweet Jazz

Long time friend and client, Paul McCallum, is back finishing up another Jazz project. This project features trio work with Paul on guitar and Domenic Genova on upright bass as well either Tom Buckner on Alto Sax or David Smith on guitar. Paul is one of the most versatile guitarist I know. He can flow from blue grass to jazz and everything in between. It’s always a pleasure working with him and usually leeds to me improving my own guitar skills.
