The first remix I ever produced with DJ Leanh from Brazil was "Stronger Together" by Jessica Sanchez. And those two words, "stronger together," is how I would so fittingly describe the relationship with my extremely talented co-producer. Until that remix, I honestly had been struggling with how my remixes were sounding. There were elements of the mix that I couldn't quite figure out, and was growing tired of creating what I thought was sub-par work. When you a music producer, you are expected to be a "band in a box," if you will. You have to not only have to know how to run the music production software, and have a basic understanding of music, but you have to also be a "drummer," a "bass player," a "keyboard player," and so forth. Essentially, when you remix a song, all we are given are the vocal parts - and the rest is up to us. Drum patterns, percussion elements, bass rhythms, chords, melodic hooks, and so forth, are all for the producers to come up with. Of course, if you know what you're doing, it's an incredibly satisfying thing to produce a piece of music, and have it go out into the world, and affect people in a positive way. But it's an incredibly daunting task when there are areas where you know you lack in. Having formed a connection with Leanh after playing at his club in Brazil, I reached out to him asking if he would help me on a remix I was currently working on that needed to be finished in a week. It was "Stronger Together." I sent him the work I had done so far, and within a few days, our first co-production was born. Since then, a musical relationship has been formed that's made me fall in love with music all over again. I am so incredibly proud of the remixes that Leanh & I have produced over the last 2 years. It's been even more rewarding to see the response to these remixes on the dance floors across the words, especially with "This Is Me." We produce music from the heart, and hope that it's received in a positive way. So, thank you so much for accepting this music we made into your lives! May it lift you up, shake you down, and make you feel alive the way it does us! We'd like to thank Brad Lebeau, Bobby Shaw, Carmen Cacciatore & Orlando Puerto for the opportunity to remix so many great songs, and believing in us & our vision. We are very grateful.
