I hope you are all having a great start to 2020! This week I have two things that I am releasing. The first is this vocal cover of the song Chop Suey off the Toxicity record by System Of A Down. I have done a few tracks from this album, and I figured why not do the main single. I do intend to do more covers similar to my “My Last Serenade” and “The Signal Fire” where I play the solos or do the entire song. I am also going to be bringing back the Tips and Tricks series soon.
The second thing I am releasing is an EP with my band Deadlights. We worked throughout 2019 on this ep and I am stoked that it is finally out. To check it out, go hit the DistroKid hyper fellow link below to get the ep on whatever streaming platform you use. Or search “Deadlights No Hope For The Lost” on whatever streaming platform you use. It will be available on Bandcamp in a few days as well.
This is our first episode on this channel. The goal is to have a new Tips and Tricks video for you everything Thursday. Leave a comment with what topic you think I should cover.
In this video we go over what it is you need to do as a group to properly prepare for the studio. What do you need to have ready? What other questions could possible pop up? Find out..

Throughout my years as a musician and recording engineer, I have made many mistakes, and I have watched many new bands make the same mistakes. I want to help newer bands that are starting out make the best use of their time, and reduce stress while working together. The music industry has changed drastically, and the rules and methods of the 80s and 90s no longer work.

When bands are able to get out and play music again there is going to be something at you all need to keep in mind. Their eyes are going to be on you. No matter what, if there are 10 people there, there will always be one set of eyes on you at any point in time. This is only one of the many reasons as to why it is key to be sure that you are not only practicing your music, but also practicing your performance. Don't let the audience down, you are there to entertain.

A few months ago I had the pleasure of working with my friend Shawn on his AbyssWalker solo project. He has a bunch of songs in the works and picked this one to be the first he released. I wanted to help out a bit more after so I threw this lyric video together.
