Listen to "Landslide" here.
We love the approach you've taken with your cover of Fleetwood Mac's hit, "Landslide." What initially inspired you to cover the song?
Well, I was searching to do something of a different genre than my usual Smooth Jazz and I came across Miley Cyrus covering the song at a concert on YouTube. The song is about growth and was perfect message-wise in introducing my newly expanded genre repertoire.
Within "Landslide," we noticed that you added unique vocal layering that stands out from the original version. Why did you choose to add this sonic element to the song?
The original version was so well done that I added vocal layering to accent the parts and lyrics that warmed my heart the most.
Regarding your vocal layering within "Landslide," could you take us through the song's production process and how you crafted the vocal layering to offer this sensation of bliss?
I’m old fashioned and I have sung each layer individually. Authenticity is extremely important for me as an artist.
Seeing as "Landslide" is the root of your upcoming EP 'Roots,' how does the cover emphasize the EP's overall concept? Why is the cover the heart of the project?
The EP is about growth and my cover of “Landslide” carries that lesson the greatest of all the songs on the EP. However, the other songs on the EP are important well and serve supportive roles.
What has been your biggest inspiration this year while creating new music?
Definitely nature. Nature warms my heart and soothes myself and puts me in such a good place. With all the negativity going on in the world, nature put me in a great place to continue to create new music.
