In the Studios with “Back Where I Begun”
So it’s been a while and for the past few weeks, I’ve been concentrating something fierce for my final exams; still one to go and a then I’ll be off for three months!
There’s four new songs in the pipeline but they’re taking an unusually long time to mix so I’m guessing there will be an influx of new songs pretty much soon.
More recently I’ve hit the recording studios to record backing vocals for a Malaysian artist called Clifford, who was recording one of my songs for his album. Boy-o-boy did that give me a vocal workout. Not only did they lower the key for the song, they wanted me to do the backing vocals in a chest voice right up there for the harmonies. Put a high required range plus approximately 600 takes means you’ll have a very tired voice afterwards. I ended up having to wait between loops to record the next track.
Considering this is my first song sourced to an artist, I’m pretty excited and hanging for having a listen to how things turn out! It’s interesting listening to how another person sings the song and how they interpret something that you write.
By the way, if you’re wondering who the guy in the photo is, that’s Cliff. He jumped in there to record some backing vocals too for the fun of it. I walked into the studio thinking the backing vocals wouldn’t take that long to record, we ended going from 7 o’clock to midnight.
So what next? Well I’m going to finish up with these exams, then I’ll get back into finishing off my album. We’ll need to organize some photo shoots for the album and then I’m told they want me to start performing live gigs. We’ll see eh!
Speaking of which, I’ll need to give them a call to see how things are going. Have a good day everyone!
On this day..
