Arianna Grande Production - Day 1

This week on Wednesday i started production with a new artist named Arianna Grande. Arianna just turned 15 and what can i tell you about her except that she's got one of the best voices I've ever recorded and she's soon to be starring in an ensemble cast on Broadway for a highly anticipated new play called "13" making its Broadway debut in October! Yeah, I'd say she's got alot going for her. Not the least of which is charisma that just lights up a room.

So, I'll be producing 4 songs with her, and yesterday we started on the 1st of the 4. We did some songwriting on a new song and completely reworked it. Its coming along really well, but has a long ways to go, and it will get there. I co-wrote all 4 songs I'm producing with her and I'll be enlisting my two very talented staff guys, Brent Kolatalo, and Cooper Anderson to co-produce 3 of the 4 songs with me. I am REALLY excited about this project and I think Arianna is just going to bring magic to these songs.

Just for clarification, this project sounds NOTHING like a broadway singer. Its definitely pop, i guess leaning towards rhythmic pop, maybe along the lines of Rihanna or Natasia Bedingfield, in that general vein without sounding like either of those two artists. I'm sure i'll be blogging more about it as these songs develop and this project evolves, but we're off to a great start!
