Alexander Acha and Emmanuel
November 5 2010
Emmanuel, Alexander, Scott and Yoel Enriquez
During the recording of Alexander’s record his father, Emmanuel, the Latin superstar, came by for a visit. We had a great day listening through much of the record and sharing stories. Yoel Enriquez also joined us for part of the day. Yoel co-wrote a few of the songs on the record with Alexander and is a successful songwriter in his own right. At the end of the day, it was obvious that Emmanuel is an extremely proud papa!

Whew – with two records in process and various other projects, right now, it’s one arrangement after another. So many wonderful songs: Alexander Acha‘s fantastic new songs and beautiful covers for Guadalupe Pineda lead the way with other projects mixed in.
This past week I had the pleasure of working again with Brendan Milburn and Valerie Vagoda on some fantastics songs that they’ve written for new Disney Tinkerbell films. They are both so talented. It’s really a treat to get to add my two cents to these works!
There is a small amount of recording with Tim Pierce and Ramon Stagnaro here and there. The bulk of recording, especially for Alexander Acha kicks in later in the month. What a thrilling year it’s been so far and it’s only getting better!
Alexander Acha!

The next big project is a record for Alexander Acha! I am really excited about this one. Alexander is another Warner Mexico artist. This is the follow-up to his double platinum debut album. We’ve met a couple times and started on the record a few weeks ago. The songs are really interesting (he wrote them) and we’re trying some creative production and collaboration that is a blast. The best part of the process is that Warner is sending Alexander to L.A. for a month to work with me. Such a rare treat to have the time to collaborate and create together. I can’t wait!
Alexander has a great pedigree for this business. His father is the Latin Superstar Emmanuel. I had the good luck to meet him at a surprise birthday party that was thrown for him while I happened to be in Mexico recording Yuri’s vocals. Fun Latin music trivia: Mijares used to sing background vocals for Emmanuel in the 80′s! It really is a small business!
If you don’t know of Alexander, check him out!
