Day Seven
This morning we were just planning on finishing a few piano parts and maybe some additional percussion…but its been a common theme that we never stick to a plan.
We started out on “Me Against The World”. This song is a hybrid if I’ve ever heard one before. It it has the feel of a John Mayer (Room For Squares) song mixed with Jimmy Eat World (Clarity Era) with the addition...

Day Six
We finished the intro “The Best Parts” early this morning. I’ve never done an inro at the beginning of a record before. It really sets up the whole premise of the album. It was just a random song I wrote last time I was in New Jersey and Ace said….” I want to put that on the record”. The piano sounds so crystal clear its insane.
It looks like “Lie To...

Day Five
First things first…Dunkn’ Donuts has been a must every morning..man I miss this place…
Which begs the question…Why does Utah have IN-N-OUT now and not DND’s?
Got a final mix of “All We Are”...as Ace would say…it sounds huge!
We imported orchestral parts into “Not Letting Go” and “Your Hand in Mine”
I sang background vocals...

Day Three
I woke up way too early this morning and decided to take a brisk walk over to Dunkn’ Donuts…and it was worth it. That is one among many things I’ll miss when I head back home next week. I showed up to help Kyle and Ace moving some things and decided to help. I think I’ll take another walk tomorrow…
Today was mostly piano tracking…
After a few more grueling...

Day Two
I took a bus out of Atlantic City this morning and showed up to Hammonton around noon. The weather was amazing today (65 and the sun was out). I consumed a delicious breakfast sandwich at a local hotdog stand…then Kyle (Aces engineer and right hand man) picked me up at the bus stop and we went strait to the studio.
It’s so weird but because I’ve been here 3 times in the last 5...

Here we go again...
So, I’m leaving early tomorrow morning and heading back East to New Jersey. I’m finishing up a full length record that should be released some time next year. Mr.Arthur Enders has really taken me under his wing with this project and brought me to a very good place.
I haven’t been this happy in half a decade.
Words cannot express to you guys how excited I am to release these new...
