I think I'll start making these more. Loved drumming along to this song by my fav production duo Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis… It even got me a follow from Jimmy Jam, himself on Instagram!
Human - The Human League

Watch it now for however long it’ll last on TikTok!
I wish I had more time to do more of these. Send me a genie. And what songs I do next.

Sound Designer for ProgramSound.FM

Like any artist, you never know where your talents are going to take you. Fortunately, music has given me some of the coolest opportunities imaginable. I’ve been pretty quiet about it, but I was given the task of Sound Designer for this awesome and unique project, Program Sound where 5 hosts take you through 5 radio programs filled with stories from all over; actors, writers, storytellers, poets, musicians, journalists…

As Sound Designer, I was tasked with ads, station IDs, stingers, lending support to the hosts for the sound effects and scoring. I’m proud of the work I did here and I’m proud of the hosts, and contributors to this project.

Everyday until June 25th, tune in and listen live at https://programsound.fm and see below for the weekend schedule.

A special shout out to Francesca Nocera (SUN SUN) for the amazing visuals to accompany the sound.
And once again, a heartfelt thank you to the amazing Bahia Watson and Lucy Rose Coren for this really cool opportunity.

A drumming highlight

I can’t believe #TheCrusade2022 was just 3 months ago. The OBGMs had done over 60 shows last year in over 10 countries and we couldn’t be more grateful. Here’s a fun drum highlight.

We’re back in the lab creating the next project and cannot wait to get back on the road.

they told me to play it (a playlist by the people)

On Instagram, I asked people what they’re listening to. Click the pic/see below to get the Spotify playlist.
If enough people ask, I will make this playlist on Apple and Amazon Music as well. Lemme know.

What do y’all think of the playlist? Gimme thoughts… did you hear something new you really like? gimme thoughts. IF people really love this, I’ll update every month.
