They really upped the level of the parts I had written. But I’ve had a reasonable amount of experience producing scores in every genre to find ways to remain true to that vision and then bring in some amazing musicians to play certain bits (alto sax on “Way To Your Heart” and fiddle on “You Never Really Go”). With scoring and composing in general I usually hear exactly how I want each layer, each part, to sound in my head – which is extremely narcissistic of me of course. You chose to self-produce the album was this always the plan? Did you ever consider bringing in an outside producer for Variety Show?Īs wild as it sounds, it was indeed always the plan! One of the things that excited me the most about this project was being able to shape the sound of each song myself, and honestly portray what I wanted to do. My friends and family have been screaming at me for years to release some of this stuff, so I thought I’d save my eardrums and get it out there! Mostly joking about the screaming part. What was the genesis of Variety Show? What’s the Secret Origin to this particular project?įirst of all, I love the term secret origin! I wish I had as cool an answer but basically, I’ve had some tunes dancing around my brain for a while, and then I was very fortunate to have some time during the beginning of the pandemic to write some more. It does! It’s something I’ve been absolutely terrified of doing but also very excited to do for a long time, so I’m excited I finally get to share it with the world. ![]() Major congratulations are in order for your upcoming November 15 release of your debut pop album, Variety Show!
