In the studio… again!
In the last few weeks I’ve been back in the studio recording with some local artists. First up was a session at Blackbox Studios recording 5 tracks with Gold Coast artist Lecia for her upcoming EP release. We got some great sounds happening and it was good to work with engineer/producer Jeff Lovejoy again. Next it was back to James North Productions to do a session with Brisbane artist Biff Rockmore. Stay tuned for details on upcoming release dates for these EP’s!
