Post from Keith: The band "Dirty Loops"! Music has never sounded so good from my brothers Jonah (Lead Vocals/Keys) Aron (Drums) and Henrik (Bass). These three incredible Jazz and Classically trained musicians come to us from Stockhom, Sweden. I met these guys around 2012 when I was in LA, and let me tell you these dudes are the nicest and sweetest guys you will ever meet. My joke with them is "Steely Dan" on steriods. I had the pleasure to introduce them to one of their id

Post from Keith: R.I.P. Chester Bennington and Chris Cornell! The amazing musical talent of these dudes was off the hook! Both of them have personally influenced me in a major way! Also the legend Walter Becker from "Steely Dam" and of course the iconic Prince and Michael Jackson. Layne Staley from "Alice in Chains", Scott Weiland from "Stone Temple Pilots", Glenn Frey from the "Eagles", Maurice White from "Earth, Wind & Fire", Bernie Worrell from "Parliament Funkadelic", Da

Post from Keith: In loving memory of a genius recording & mix engineer and my friend "Jason Corsaro" who passed away from his battle with cancer. Early in my engineering career I was fortunate enough to assist Jason on several recording sessions when I worked as an assistant engineer at Platinum Island Recording Studios in NYC. Jason was super, super nice to me when I was learning the craft and struggling as a new engineer. He shared so many of his secrets and engineering

Post from Keith: The ultimate band of musicians, "Snarky Puppy" led by mastermind Michael League has another killer track called "Chonks", trust me this song will blow your mind. The tune is 8:28 minutes long and is so innovative and creative, listen until the end beause the song goes up yet another level. Still a favorite of mine is the tune "We like it here" which is the first song I ever heard from Snarky which is yet another masterpiecec. A plea to the new artists and

Post from Keith: One of the projects I worked on as a recording and mix engineer was a Jazz Fusion record called "Images" by Russian Jazz Trumpeter "Alexander Sipiagin". I'm very proud of the work I did on this album as I recorded and mixed the entire record. It was a challenging project as I'll never forget recording the song "Freaker", a crazy Jazz Fusion song with everything coming at you at the same time, it was a blast! You can find this album on ( Discogs.com ) or in

Post from Keith: It's official "Imagine Dragons" are my new favorite band. These guys do everything right in such an amazing way on every album. Everything is off the hook as the songwriting, production, mixing and engineering are the best. Their lead singer Dan Reynolds is unbelievable, the best singer I've heard in decades. These guys are true professionals and their music reflects their insightful, creative lyrics and melodies. My favorite tunes are: "It's Time", "Na

Post from Keith: The band "Shinedown" wrote an amazing song called "A Symptom of Being Human" when I first heard this tune I was so blown away by Brent Smith's vocal performance which is magical and genius! What a great song sung in full voice with power and emotion. Brent said the song is actually about struggling with mental illness which is a major problem in this country what a great band, one of my favorites!

Post from Keith: Billionaire pop culture icon Taylor Swift is obviously the biggest pop star in the world, so when she drops a new album and teams up with genius Songwriter/Producer Max Martin the #1 songwriter in the world (that wrote more #1 hit songs than Paul McCartney) you have to pay attention. It took me a minute to appreciate this record, no doubt the best song is the title track "The fate of Ophelia" which has a very interesting structure of 5 bar verses and extende

Post from Keith: This all happened in 2018 as Fergie kills it with her Bluesy rendition of the National Anthem at the NBA All Star game. She is super talented! Pink was awesome in 2018 Super Bowl performance singing the N.A. which isn't easy to sing. I thought Timberlake was great in his halftime performance!

Post from Keith: RIP Kobe, what an amazing career Kobe had as he won 5 NBA rings and now an Oscar winner for his short animated film "Dear Basketball" on his first time around! I went to 3 Laker games when Kobe was alive and I was blown away each time by his talent. For those who know me I am a huge sports fan and my god Steph Curry is from another planet, man he is such an amazing talent like a Harlem Globetrotter on steriods! My dream has always been for music to help heal
