Take it Higher
Taking your life higher is a profound exercise of self-discovery and growth. It's about transcending the ordinary and mundane, breaking free from the chains of your comfort zones.
While composing "Take it Higher," I held a singular focus: to infuse you with motivation, not just for the song itself but for your whole life, your being, every inhale and exhale, the steady pulse of your heart, and your inner sense of self.
Embrace you, embrace your life, and let “Take it Higher” be the inspiration and soundtrack of your growth.
Fantasy World takes you on an "ole skool" ride. Reminiscent of smooth jazz, an eclectic mix of psychedelic funk, rock, and classical overtones, with hints of Kool and The Gang's Summer Time, Issac Hayes, and Carlos Santana.A true musical melting pot!
Before I Let Go!
I was talking with my keyboard player Clay, I was telling him I need a song to release. We were working on an original song for the album, but I wanted to put out something that people were familiar with as a first release.
That's when he said. "you know Dave, I have a version of "Before I Let Go." I said, "the Frankie Beverly and Maze jam?" He said, "yup, though it might be a little too jazzy for you!" He knows I'm not super big on jazz, shame on me, I'm working on it.
I said, "let me hear it," he emailed me the track and I loved it! It was full of jazz and loaded with funk! I "slapped" a funky bass line on it, adding to Clay's killer track, and it was a wrap!
Getting the bass line down on "The Awakening."
Abstract is my latest song. It called for power drums in specific parts of the composition. It took a minute, but I finally got some ruffs down.
Visiting my old neighbor with my daughter, a very surreal experience.
