Just checking in, and giving you an update on where I stand with the recording of my debut record.
We have recorded all of the instrumental tracks, and most of the vocals. I was lucky enough to collaborate with a group of amazing musicians, and things are starting to sound awesome!!!
I hope to have all of the recording complete by mid March; leaving mixing, mastering and duplication to be done.
If all goes well, the record should be released sometime in April.
Thanks. I'm working really hard at becoming a singer myself and realized that Taylor Swift has influenced my style of singing and writing, so I wanted to make this as sort of a thank you in case I do make it :D
