A new song cover is ready! It’s “Drown in my own tears”.Originally written by Henry Glover, but mostly known for Ray Charles’s version that became a hit in the 50s. I always noticed how little appreciation Ray Charles gets today, even from fellow musicians and especially singers. Maybe it’s how raw and real…
Here’s a cover I’ve been thinking about recording for years.I always postponed because I wanted to keep improving, trying to match the magic of Donny Hathaway’s version… At some point I realized I could never reach that, and that I needed to be myself. So I just recorded it. He had a big impact on…
Few years ago I published a cover of “San Juan Sunset” by Eumir Deodato….such a beautiful piece on Rhodes piano. Usually, videos with vocals tend to perform better in my experience, but when I got a real Rhodes in my studio I was so happy about it that I couldn’t help making a video with…
I got a request this time! A friend that follows me on YouTube since my “San Juan Sunset” cover, asked me to make this cover on my Rhodes and sent me also the original backing track modified by him! It’s a “Bossa Nova” song, written by Antonio Carlos Jobim (also known as Tom Jobim) called…
It’s been a while since my “San Juan Sunset“ cover on Youtube. I made that video, just because I was happy of having a Rhodes piano in my studio. I didn’t expect it to become the most viewed video on my channel! Vocal covers generally performs better than intrumental ones….but this was not the case,…
If you know me for a while, you’d surely know I’m a damn perfectionist! :-p That’s why I never like my live perfomances….it’s really common to make some mistake, and I ended up never publishing live videos. Well, this time it has been different….because after many years, I managed to take back my trio “Wonder…
Since when I was 15, I always did a lot of vocal training. And I say A LOT. To me, vocals is one, if not the most difficult instrument to master. Lot of emotions to struggle with. Technique to understand, learn and master. Then forget everything you learned, and start singing for real….it takes a…
This time I wanted to try something different for my Youtube channel. You know, making a professional videoclip of one of your songs it’s hard when you’re an independent artist. It takes time, some good idea and….money! 🙂 So, what many indie artists make is the so-called “Lyric Video“. Basically, a video showing the lyrics…
One of the most beautiful vintage instruments of all time finally hit my studio : A “Rhodes Mark II” electric piano from 1979! Yay! 🙂 I’m so excited about this, that I wanted to make a new video, to share with you the results of many weeks of work needed to bring this instrument back…
You know….for some reason, I’ve never liked music from the 80’s. Everybody who knows me well enough, knows that! lol 🙂 It’s all about the sound I think. I prefer “warm sounds” and real instruments, instead of keyboards, synth and all those modern electronic sounds. But there’s a problem with this…..sometimes I tend to underrate…
