“Trust in God, PRAY and cultivate the gift that he has given you, believe in yourself and NEVER GIVE UP!“
Interview (cont...)
as much as I just want to try to inspire the right feeling or touch your heart.
What are your thoughts regarding the current state of R&B? I believe it to be in somewhat of a state of disarray, You have a few good artists out there, however, many of the artists have replaced quality content in their songs with overtly explicit lyrics and such. In some cases, it seems we’ve become more concerned with short term shock or wow factor with less concern about the negative lasting impact this music will have on generations to come. You shouldn’t have to explain using a profane lyric or story in your song to your son or daughter….
Tell us about your new single ‘Pages (Pages From The Past)’ and what inspired the song. I‘m always inspired to compose a good groove…I worked on this track for a period of about 2 months prior to meeting Farisha!.. and I just kept adding elements to it. Then as divine Providence would have it, that I
met Farisha in an online music community and got to hear her voice.. Right away, I knew her voice would work for this song, With some minor timing and pitch adjustments, they were a perfect match!! This single is the end result.
What was your role in the making of the single? Did you produce, vocal arrange, write? I wrote performed, arranged, engineered, mixed and mastered the music. Farisha did all the vocals…
How was it working with L.A. session vocalist Farisha, who is also featured on the single? Well, the truth is…she sent me her tracks online, so it was a breeze.
How did the two of you meet? Online, on a musicians community website.
