Spring has sprung again which means it’s time for the Easter Parade at Tokyo Disneyland. We used my song again this year for the parade and I arranged a new version of the show mode that features a new song by the talented Adam Gubman. Easter has become one of, if not the biggest, special event of the year at the park. Thanks to […]
Hi all…..this post is a few months late.
Last year I was asked to arrange and produce the songs for the Mister Potato Head character at Tokyo Disney Sea’s new Toy Story Mania attraction. In the end, I wrote the piano underscore as well. It was a lot of fun working with my good friend Raul Fernandez on this project. He wrote all of the songs […]
Happy Thanksgiving! With more than 3 million views of the video on YouTube, Zendaya is doing great with Dig Down Deeper. Make sure to catch her performing the song on the Macys Thanksgiving Day parade. Im thrilled that something I produced and am so proud of will be showcased in this venue!
Tonight on the Disney Channel is the broadcast premier of the video for the production I did for Zendaya (@Zendaya96) of “Dig Down Deeper” from Disney’s Pixie Hollow Games. Zendaya is one seriously talented girl that I feel lucky have been able to work with. Hopefully, we’ll get to do another one soon! Look out for Pixie […]
At our last vocal session, Tiger Beat magazine was there to interview Zendaya and shoot a little behind the scenes. I was shocked to find out that Tiger Beat is still around. As a kid, back in the ’70’s I used to buy Tiger Beat at the grocery store and read about Donny and Marie, Shaun Cassidy, John Travolta and […]
Among the various Disney projects I’ve been working on for the past several weeks is another for Worldwide Marketing. I was asked to edit a big pile of versions of the One Republic song ‘Good Life.’ While it seemed a simple enough task at the outset, we got the tracks from the band and did very custom edits for the TV spots and all of […]
As part of my Disney September, one of the projects I was asked to work on is the new TV spot for Disney’s Aulani Resort in Hawaii. Much of the music recording was done in Hawaii. I was asked by the advertising people and the Disney music executive to finish the music production and mix the music here in […]
The summer was pretty quiet, which I enjoyed. I got to have a nice summer break with the family and enjoy time with the kids in the pool and take a couple trips. But, now, the rest of the family is back to school and I’m back to work.
Currently, I have six projects for four different divisions of Disney. In true Disney style, I can’t […]
A year and a half or so ago, I was asked to do some work rearranging the Elton John song “Hello, Hello,” for Gnomeo and Juliet. Though my participation went uncredited, I saw the movie this past weekend and I was very pleased to hear the James Newton-Howard chose to use most of […]
Happy New Year – a little late!
The Holidays were absolutely crazy. It’s nice to have the past couple months behind me and begin looking forward to an exciting 2011.
I have been asked to produce another record for Warner. This one is a group of four young male singers. In many ways similar to Il Divo, but younger and a bit more pop. The […]
Happy Thanksgiving! The past few months have been the busiest I’ve ever experienced and, thanks to the holiday, I finally have a couple minutes to update……
We are finally finished recording Alexander’s record and it is sensational. It has been a true labor of love and was the best collaborative experience of my career. He was with me in LA for 6 weeks working […]
A couple months ago, I was asked to write some short pieces for a new Disney website. The new site is a place where people can post and share photos and videos of their memories from Disney Parks. The site launched yesterday so I can finally post about it! After the opening introduction music, all of the music you’ll hear when you’re looking around is […]
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 […]
A couple months ago, I wrote several short pieces for Disney Vacation Club online videos. They’re up an running. When you get the page, click on the video button in the window. There are a bunch of different videos under the ‘Destinations’ pull down menu as well. Enjoy!
