Just came across this song I mixed for Sony artist Lin Yu Chun. He’s from the Taiwanese talent show “One Million Star”. OK.. Back to work now, Adrian..

Check out ‘Roses’ from the new album from Darren Hayes titled “Secret Codes and Battleships”. Darren is an extremely talented artist with a distinct voice, and it was a real treat to work with he and producer Walter A on the song (I programmed the track). I’ll post a clip shortly, but really.. just go get it on iTunes! :)

Well this is nice..! A song Greg Sczebel and I did together last year for his Christmas went to #4 on the holiday chart (surrounded by many Justin Biebers..haha) Greg.. you just need a paternity suit filed against you and you’ll shoot straight to the top!!! (too soon…?)

I’m writing from the road, where I’m on tour with Mat Kearney (“Young Love” album). Crowds have been great. And while I’m out, I’ve been working on my mobile rig doing remixes and production from hotel rooms to green rooms to the back lounge of our bus. It’s actually been a lot of fun working this way, and I am in the middle of putting together an even better mobile rig than what I’ve got (some Adam studio monitors, an Apogee interface etc in a pelican case) so I can do some more mobile recording and projects. Next up.. rent a boat, and write at sea. But I digress. It’s tough being away from home for so long but it’s a great group of people that I have been friends with for many years. And the energy of the crowds has been AMAZING!! Also.. check out the support band ‘Leagues’. Half of them are also playing in Mat’s band, and they’re really great. I’m going to nerd out on my next post and include photos of the mobile rig I’m putting together :)

Over the past month or so I got to work with a great new electro/rock band called Goldenboy. I originally came at it as a remix project (I think?!) but I ended up mixing the album, while doing some additional production tweaks. It’s a new way of working for me, but I really enjoyed it.. they did 90% of the record on their own, sent me the tracks, and I did a remaining ‘polish’ (a little programming, changing some sounds, tweaking drums, etc) and the mix. Check out their website here. I think it came out really cool, I’m excited to see what they get up to in the next little while. I will post audio clips (and the proper cover art) when I am able to (after the album comes out).

OK, so it has been FOREVER since I’ve updated this blog (I wonder how many blogs out there have these exact words as their top post!). Anyway, despite what it might look like on my blog, it’s been INSANELY busy around here. More so than ever in my life, actually. This is the biggest reason why there is nothing new on here at all.. So.. I will just put this stuff down in order that it comes to me.. I’ve started a new writing/production team with my friend Chris Mann; we have done a few songs so far that we are very excited about, one in particular is for pussycat dolls member Melody Thornton; stay tuned, this should be coming out shortly. We have also worked with our new friends Amiena, and Sonja James. Things in the Walter A camp have been very busy as well, and quite diverse. I did a radio remix of a Michael Bublé song, we have begun work with a New York artist named Oriane, and also filmed the first episode of a new TV show, on which I conducted Josh Groban’s orchestra during a live concert. And during that, I mixed and did additional production on a Canadian electro-rock band’s first album (they are called Goldenboy.. more on this later!) and worked on remixes for Rococode and Tegan and Sara. And I’m currently on the road on the Owl City / Mat Kearney tour, but finishing up a new Jodi King Christmas album (which we are very excited about!) and working with an incredible new artist, Lauren Carse. So.. there it is, in a nutshell.. More specifics to come soon.. Thanks!!

Hi all!! So FINALLY we are releasing something from Diana Pops, in this case a four song EP called “For Bright Minds in Dark Corners”. This is one of my favourite projects to work on with one of my favourite artists (actually, we have started a “band” together.. but shhh.. that’s a secret.. haha). Anyway, PLEASE check this out on iTunes at http://bit.ly/DianaPops_iTunes — Thanks!!

Well.. as December approaches it becomes time to wrap up projects for the holiday break, and this year is no exception.. And it’s been a good year. Most significantly, Walter A, Kenny and myself worked on Kenny G’s latest album “Heart And Soul”, which was recently honored with a Grammy nomination in the Pop Instrumental Album category. I’m naturally very excited and thankful to the rest of the team for having me be a part — I have programming, a writing, and add’ production credit. We have nearly wrapped our part of the new Austin Brown record (google him!), have done two exciting songs with Savage Garden singer and writer Darren Hayes, and are nearing completion on the debut album for singer/songwriter Lauren Carse. I’m also VERY excited about a few projects that are in the works – expect some new material from pop/classical singer Chris Mann, plus (finally!!) a long-awaited EP from Diana Pops. All-in-all I’m very thankful to be here, and to be so busy! Thanks especially to Walter A and my new friends and collaborators. I know 2010 isn’t really over yet but I already can’t wait for what’s to come ;-)

Congratulations to Amanda Falk, the album we did together won a Western Canadian Music Award. Check out the album on iTunes here.
