It’s been years, years of talking about my poetry project and how much I just had to get to it and start recording the material properly. Well, mates, it has started!! I just came back from the first sessions of recording the “road not taken” poetry project in TUNISIA- and what a rewarding experience that […]
Since I was a kid, much before I knew I wanted to be a producer, and probably much before I knew what a producer is, I wanted to be George Martin. I didn’t know exactly what he did, or how he did it, but I understood it was him that made my favorite Beatles songs […]
After returning from the Balkans, I started fooling around with some of Andy Shkoza’s material- check out this first sketch.. hope I’ll get around to recording it properly soon enough. Andy Shkoza Sketch

With a great project in Morocco- recording the wonderfully talented Yassine Kodssi- son of legendary Gnawa master Abdel Jalil Kodssi. At his young age, already a mature and very distinct voice. Another great hotel room recording session- Check out the new Mberika sample in the audio Gallery. Also this Morocco trip was a chance to […]
Another great visit to Sudan, two more great songs come to life.. By chance (or divine intervention), I was introduced by my friend Osama, to the wonderful singer El-Kheir- a warm and welcoming person, with great dreams and a touching voice. Within just a few hours we had two songs on the […]
