Finally putting Grammy recognition certificate #3 on the wall. Was a special session at Rick Rubin’s Shangri-La studio in Malibu. The song was “Kill For Love” and was available only in Target stores. The vibe of the studio was great. Even played with one of her Frenchies (not sure which one).

Today I had the pleasure of recording on someone’s original jazz ballad. I decided to change it up this time and try recording with two mics and combining them in post for a different sound. The BLUE Kiwi mic gave it some punch and sizzle while the AEA R92 gave it some silkiness and body. I also experimented with impedances, filters, and off axis set ups as well. Think I like this technique. 🎺

20 years late 😂! In the early 2000s I worked on two albums with Ziggy Marley (thank you Dave Ralicke). The first one was “Dragon Fly” and the second was “Love is my Religion”. I didn’t realize that the latter won Best Reggae Album at the 49th Grammy Awards in 2006. At the time, I was jumping from a year long world tour with Green Day to playing and touring with The Poncho Sanchez Latin Jazz Band. 20 years later I’m reflecting and acknowledging some of the work I have done over the years. So I’m finally putting my next trophy on the wall! 🎺 😃 Ziggy Marley

I love all styles of music. I discovered a DJ on YouTube that I really like named Darius. All of his music has great production and groove. This one had the perfect vibe to add some Michael Jackson/Jerry Hey style horns so I came up with some and added them to the track. Here is a little sample 🎺 .music

Great night at The Canyon Club in Agoura Hills. Poncho Sanchez playing my original 6/8 tune Night Dream. BONUS: The great Luis Conte sitting in on percussion and pianist John Beasley taking an amazing solo! 🎶 🎹

Great weekend performing for the Heritage festival in historic downtown Los Angeles. Gabriel Gonzalez thank you for bringing EQUINOX to perform. We had a blast! Also a blast as always playing with the great Poncho Sanchez on the main stage! Was also a treat to have my family out there cheering me on. Thank you my love 💋BodyRoQ w/ RoQ💋 for the great pics and video as well!

On my birthday I wanted to post something I worked on last year. Always loved this song. The melody is so delicate and haunting. So I decided to do it as an instrumental hoping to capture the beautiful energy of Karol G’s pure melodic phrasing. I had to do some chopping of the original track and had to creatively add some keyboards to get close to the vibe of the song. I did this last year as a birthday present for my wife Raquel.
I love you
