What’s up everyone? It’s been a great Thursday through Sunday and I need to blog. Momager and I went to the studio Thursday and Friday to record Catch Me – my newest song. The song’s lyrics are the first ones I wrote when I began seriously pursuing this career. The song is about how I’m creating my own version of rap and to watch out, because I’m coming up. I’m doing it my way, welcoming everyone along with me – but there is no room for hate or profanity. The beat is dirty, dance-able, with a staccato rhythm loosely inspired by the hip hop song “Poison,” and the guitar licks played by Anthony are inspired by classic rock Led Zeppelin style riffs. It’s a true Neo-Pop sound, following the sound heard on “Human Link.” The VLog lets you see a bit of the recording process, and we’re working on capturing better shots on the recording sessions from here on out. The next song will be a totally different style of Neo-Pop, I’m thinking Enigma/Cher/Michael Jackson/love song ballad that you can dance to and really connect with. It will be my most vocally challenging song. It will be followed by another ballad with an emotional message and gripping melodies paired with deep percussion.
Chad D mixing
On Thursday, Brandon was the man on the mix. He’s been a great engineer with pro skills and knowledge. Thank you for all your help Brandon, and we wish you success and happiness on your new journey. On Friday, I finally got to dig in to the engineering and mixing, adding my own touches to the song, bringing it to the next level – something that I will do on future tracks. I enjoy this because it gives me more control over my music. I get to experiment, try new or uncommon things and take more time exploring various options to give the song a creative boost. I’ll be upgrading to a new music production program on my personal computer so we can expedite the process at the studio.
As you can see, new Chad D fans are appearing all over! Any age, any race, everyone is welcome to enjoy my music. The kids love it, “older” folks like it, and the Y gen. is addicted.
Note: Met up with established artist and Sonic Boom studio-mate Christine Martucci at her jam session in New Hope at John & Peter’s Pub. Hoping to open/close for her upcoming shows, and maybe be sponsored by her tequila, Luna Nueva. Mmmm, but I won’t know how it tastes until October 5th, my 21st!
I’ve got a few shows coming up – check the schedule page for details. I’m also actively pursuing my web design business, so keep me in mind and refer your friends and colleagues that need web or graphic work done. Everyday, my plans and visions of incorporating my music and web careers grow and evolve. It’s really exciting to think of these things, then know that they can manifest into reality. LOVE IT! The power of attraction at it’s best – come and get some world!
much love
Chad
