Some weeks in the studio are just perfect: sessions w/ some of my fav clients like Rhonda Hitchcock Mast, Randy Brown, Don & Linda Brown, Ronnie Dye...client Lane Kamp signed a publishing deal on a recent track, tracked a cool young female singer named Serena Nicholle..and the coveted studio Breedlove guitar is just back from the capable hands of James Knopp at Guitar Dog. So yeah..good week all the way around

For my songwriter clients/ friends, check out "Hit Songs Deconstructed". Data analytics meets art. A bit odd but fascinating to see these worlds meet. Valuable tool...or ominous turn for the creative side of music? Interesting stuff. https://youtu.be/SEC9EoQ15BU

This video takes an inside look at the Hit Songs Deconstructed PRO Report.

Always nice when clients post good things happening with their projects...getting some major label interest with this track. Some of my favorite people involved in this one: Donald Neal Brown, Linda Brown, and featuring a very cool vocal from AZ Chicks With Picks founder Rhonda Jo Hitchcock-Mast. Nice going, everyone :)

Another of my favorite 2011 projects at DCMG...I was but one small part of a large group of talented folks who worked on this, but Janelle is a singer and writer WAY beyond her years..( all 16 of them). Sort of a cooler, pop Norah Jones....but very much her own entity... Check her out....

Janelle Loes is an emerging singersongwriter in the adult alternative and indie-pop genre.
