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…
In my life so far, I’ve been studying and discovering as many things that caught my interest as possible. Most of them were momentary challenges, but there’s one, the most important, that I think I’ll never be done with : the quest of self-discovery. I’ve never found anything as difficult as understanding myself, especially my mind,…
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,…
You know what’s a “Clavinet“? It’s the beautiful instrument that you can hear in “Superstition” by Stevie Wonder. It’s a kind of electric clavichord, that was very popular in the seventies. Especially funky music. Unfortunately, after that period it became less and less popular, and today very few artist use it prominently in their music….
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…
I never liked iTunes, Spotify and all these big digital stores…..you know, it feels like being only half-independent. You can’t choose how much to charge your music. Very low royalties, for an independent, and many other things… But the problem is…people is getting really used to music streaming and all these services. So I can’t…
