The past few months have been exciting and hectic.
Fitness model/influencer/athlete Michie Peachie did a voice over session here in October for Total Fitness and Nutrition. This session involved Michie reading instructions for 125 different exercises for a workout app called fitplanapp. Michie was a total pro and really cool to work with. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzFjKRo5uNU0soTi9K0MWIQ

Tracking more great songs from FARRINGTON with help from Nikki Paige, Kai Danzberg, Tatianna Gallardo and Anthony King.
Nikki added her sweet voice to a tune called "Violins" and really helped make this song a winner. Nikki is super talented, sweet and humble. She nailed her parts in one or two takes. Nikki Paige (@nikkipaigenarage) • Instagram photos and videos

Kai Danzberg, 25-yr old power-pop singer/songwriter/guitarist from Germany added his great multi-layered vocal harmonies to "Stupid Plastic War", "Music Is The Drug", "Long Way To Nowhere" and "Violins". Congrats to Kai, who recently signed a deal with Big Stir Records. I was honored to play drums on two tracks from his current album, "Let Me Know", featuring Lisa Mychols and "Reach You Somehow", on which FARRINGTON added a superb guitar solo.

In July 2017 I had the opportunity to have engineer Jack Rouben lend his expertise to a couple of recordings by Barefoot Jackson and Farrington.
Jack got his start at the legendary Sunset Sound studio. There he worked on recordings by legendary artists such as Earth, Wind and Fire, Aretha Franklin, Diana Ross, Chaka Khan, Gloria Gaynor, The Gap Band, Celine Dion and Kenny Loggins, to name a few. Jack taught me a few things about subtractive EQ, compression and mic placement. So cool to hear all the stories and just hang with him. Hopefully he will be back soon!
