Much thanks to @red_hareimages for capturing the @werenogentlemen shenanigans at soundcheck before one of our performances on @takeover.live — Was I aiming for a yoga pose or a ballet move?

Just goofing around at the recording studio while @danschizmusic was laying down some extra guitar tracks for our new song.
Just goofing around at the recording studio while @danschizmusic was laying down some extra guitar tracks for our new song. There’s a lot of ‘hurry up and wait’ in the recording process (and in the entertainment industry in general). It’s great to be able to pass the time with people you genuinely enjoying hanging out with. I loves my whole band-fam tribe.

throwbackthursday – I miss traveling all over SoCal in order to work with @dionjackson.
throwbackthursday – I miss traveling all over SoCal in order to work with @dionjackson. I’ve had such a blast performing live, interactive music/fitness routines with him at events far and wide. I cherish these experiences. His friendship and mentoring in all matters has helped me make big strides in my career and life in general. Much thanks, D!

Whenever given the chance, I love recording ‘live’, with everyone in the band playing together instead of tracking each instrument separately.
Whenever given the chance, I love recording ‘live’, with everyone in the band playing together instead of tracking each instrument separately. Just like at a live show, there’s an extra special magic that gets captured when we can make eye contact and respond to each other’s energy. @werenogentlemen recently took the opportunity to record our next single using this method. It was a blast and we all loved the experience.

This bass doesn’t have magnetic pickups. It’s a Lightwave-powered bass from @willcoxguitars. It uses an optical pickup system built into the bridge saddles. This bass provides analog and digital output so I can use it as a bass guitar and a MIDI controller at the same time. The analog bass tone is fantastic, and it enables me to just bring one bass to a gig or recording session, even when I need to play synth bass lines. -
Since the pandemic started I have had some time to focus on becoming a better vocalist, both for background vocals as well as singing lead on some projects.
Since the pandemic started I have had some time to focus on becoming a better vocalist, both for background vocals as well as singing lead on some projects. I’ve been working with a great vocal coach, @theofficialjulianmiranda. With his help, my vocal capabilities (and my confidence) are growing stronger all the time. I can’t thank Julian enough for his expertise and friendship.
