My family is comprised of musicians, painters and sculptors, so it was expected I would be born with some talent...
When I was three, I listened to my sister take her piano lessons through the door and when she finished [she hated to practice]... I went into the room and started to repeat what I heard her do...
Then after doing that for a while, my Mother noticed... now THAT was the deciding factor... Ha... my sister ended up becoming an animal doctor and my Mother had me focus on the Arts... I was in a bunch of recitals and plays as a child...
Then, became a child composer for Hartt School of Music... Entered a bunch of talent competitions and won them all in order to pay for college...
I auditioned for the NY Grand Opera Company in NYC and got in... Then, ended up getting a scholarship to the Juilliard School of Music in NYC.Spent some time working with a Rock Opera Band, the Trans-Siberian Orchestra and recorded on their albums... Then, worked with my own Singer/Songwriter Band... and played clubs around NYC... travelled a bit. even performed at the Great Wall of China
Now I am totally into Dance Music!!!
Actually, no.
My first Dance record was back in 2005 with a song called Sleepless... The song is about what it might have been like for Moses having to make a world-changing decision when he parted the Red Sea... It came from my original studio album, Jump In... then, was remixed and went to Billboard Top 10.
I believe at the time, it was considered deep house... Now, I have for the past few years, been more into Progressive... Actually, I wrote a song called Underlying Feeling and was remixed by Adam K & Soha... Someone got a hold of it and did a mashup with Deadmau5 I Remember... It is a mashup - not an original production... But, the song fits really well to the track and has been getting a lot of attention... Although, I am going to I have never met them.....
Toronto this week to do a show on BMP as well as a studio session with Adam K & Soha... Yes, I am collaborating with Matt Darey as well as Bellatrax... and working on my FIRST Trance record with Alex Morph...
If I have to choose someone I have already worked with, that would of course be Loverush UK! However, if you are asking for whom I have not yet worked with, I would have to say I am certainly looking forward to the upcoming collaborations with the people I have mentioned just before....and of course, I would freak out in a good way if I am able to work with Deadmau5 & Kaskade directly!
Aha! It is a collaboration between Loverush UK!, Anton Bass, and me!
Loverush UK sent us over the track and Anton and I wrote the top line. I wrote the lyric around an ancient chant for reincarnation... with the hopeful message that both life and love, indeed, return....
I also have a cool collaboration right now on the charts! It is called Push n Pull... A collaboration between me and Noferini & Marini...
The 5 Reasons video was shot by Photographer from "America's Next Model", Mike Ruiz...
The clothes I am wearing are by Phillipe & David Blond [aka: The Blonds]... They make clothing for Katy Perry, Rihanna, Fergie, Madonna, etc...
We started to shoot at 7am, and finished a little after midnight that same night.
We shot the video at SUN Studios in Manhattan....
Right now, Push n Pull is just starting up the Billboard Charts with being a Power Pick last week, so I think this will linger for a while... I am planning a full length Electronica Album for a Spring release....
So, I am working in the studio a lot right now.
I actually wrote and recorded a song with Ron Reeser & Dan Saenz also that may pop up as a single...
To answer your question about Push n Pull, I wrote that song with Noferini & Marini and Anton Bass... They sent over the track which was called Twin Peaks originally and did very well on the Progressive Charts... Then I wrote the top line with Anton and it has become Push n Pull...
Still based largely on David Lynch....
Push n Pull is being released November 23rd Worldwide! Digitally....
Yes, I always write my own songs...
The American Market for Dance Music is selective... and the American people are fickle... and very influenced by what is Pop/Urban... But, there is always room for a GREAT SONG....
I think that is nice entertainment for the masses sitting at home in their livingrooms... These shows are good in a way because they give the "underdog" a chance to shine....
HAHA... I get random things all the time... I get letters, poems, people want me to read their diaries... I have had artists come to my shows and paint me while I am performing...
Funny? The only thing funny about this is the fact that so many are interested... I am just doing what I do and sometimes, it is certainly funny to me, how grown adults will act like crazy children when it comes to Musicians and Artists...
Oh, Jes!!! I think she is amazing! Certainly a voice to be reckoned with and I would love the opportunity to collaborate with her if the situation presents itself.
I am also loving some of the artists I am signing to my record label...
Sea To Sun/Loverush Digital is my label along with Anton Bass, Mark Loverush and Kinky Roland... We are sending out some amazing talent... Carla Werner, Femke, Molly Bancroft, just to name a few...
Also sending out some amazing DJ's and Remixes: Sted-e & Hybrid Heights / Damien S / Timmothy Allan / Dave Pezza / Tom Noise / Alex Morph.
Creative, Savvy, Passionate.
Cruelty of any kind...and dishes in the sink! :)) .
Support Music Whenever You Can!!!
Thank you so much for your time
Thank you Tavi!!!
