« Happy Holidays and Thank You | Main | New Macy Gray Record »
January is usually a slow month. In the music business the new year begins slowly after the holiday break. But I have been fortunate to be crazy busy on some really cool projects. I have to say a thankful word for all the amazingly cool (and unconsummated) job offers I received this month. It's time for Dada to stay home...
First of all, I have two co-written cuts on Macy Gray’s new album, Big, coming out March 27. Please buy it and send Travis and Justin to college… I also got to work at the Hive with Nick Hexum and 311. I played trumpet on a slammin 311 reggae track for a Sony animated feature. And I am going back to produce more tracks for Nick’s solo record as well.
We did a week of sessions for Kirk Wheeler’s new record at the world’s coolest studio, The Bank. He and I co-wrote two tracks for it. By the way, you can check out our previous co-write Drunken Eyes, in the audio section. The musicians that played on the session are some of the world’s best. No joke.
I am also playing piano and keyboards for the Reprise Production of Sunday in The Park With George, directed by Jason Alexander and starring Tony Award nominees Kelli O’Hara and Manoel Felciano. And I played with Daniel Powter on the Tonight Show with a massive great band, including Dave Levita, Sean Hurley, and Victor Indrizzo.
I hope February is half as exciting…
Hi Mikey
you have been busy !!!
Well done on all your collaborations.
I will check out the new Macy's album

Enjoy your deserved rest and see you
sometime, somewhere....in far off places.(?)
Take care

Whoa, I hope dada has some time for Justin and Travis as well as the wifey now :-) "The musicians that played on the session are some of the world’s best. No joke." I couldn't have said it better myself :-) Mikey is the best! I hope I can find some of those recordings here in Finland / Europe. Best wishes!
