I'm a singer-songwriter from London.
I just finished recording my debut album this summer in studios in Brooklyn (AngelHouse East) , Manhattan (Dubway Studios) and a Church (the Belfry) in upstate NY with the amazing Alex Wong (of The Paper Raincoat and The Animators) producing (he also played drums, glockenspiel and manual hand tremelo for Todd Carey).
It was mixed lovingly onto tape in a Church by the genius ears of Eddie Jackson (Ari Hest, James Taylor, Patti Scialfa, Guster)
I can't wait for you to hear it!!
To give you some idea of the level of what's coming, here's a list of the insanely talented musicians who feature on the record:
Extra vocals: ambeR Rubarth (who also co-wrote one of the tracks with me)
Drums/ Percussion: Adam Christgau (The Paper Raincoat, Ian Axel, Nate Campany, Rosi Golan, Joshua Radin, Bess Rogers, Jenny Owen Youngs, Ingrid Michaelson, Pete & J)
Electric Bass: Chris Kuffner (Bess Rogers, Regina Spektor, Greg Laswell, Ingrid Michaelson)
Upright Bass: Tony Maceli (ambeR Rubarth, Bess Rogers)
Cello: Marika Hughes (Ani DiFranco, Vienna Teng, Whitney Houston, Santana, Yo Yo Ma), Paul Brantley (James Morrison, The Animators), Ward Williams (Vienna Teng)
Violins: Melissa Tong (Elizabeth and the Catapult, The Paper Raincoat, Manhattan Chamber Orchestra), Christiana Liberis (Shakira, Tommy Lee, Josh Groban), Julia Koo (Clay Aiken, Henry Mancini Orchestra, New Jersey Philharmonic Orchestra), Esther Noh (Brooklyn Philharmonic, Roberta Flack, Mark O'Connor)
Clarinet & Bass Clarinet: Peter Hess (Balkan Beat Box, Slavic Soul Party)
Bassoon: Sasha Enegren (Ensemble 212, NYC Bach Society)
Guitar: Todd Carey (Todd Carey!)
Oh and orchestral transcribing was done by Vienna Teng!!
I hope that whets your appetite :)
I've ALREADY begun work on a second record and have already written tracks with the amazing Greg Holden, Nate Campany and the legend that is Adam Levy!
I'm also currently writing my first score for a feature film!!
Good times.
