Tell us about yourself and your music
I am a seasoned musician with over 30 years of living, recording, touring in many bands over the years. I am at the point where I would rather record my own backlog of music than play in clubs and concert halls, spending as much time as possible in the studio. I’ve been a sideman bass player fo ever, playing other people’s music and now I’m ready to unleash my own music under the Soul Camera name.
I currently have a huge backlog of songs in various stages of completion.
Talk to us more about your latest release
My latest music is on https://www.soulcamera.rocks/soul-camera-music. it is played on all the streaming sites through TuneCore Publishing.
I record them in my own studio Voodoo Lounge and send the songs for mastering, presently using Aftermaster mastering services in Holywood Ca.
I am trying to put out a song every couple of months.
I play most of the instruments myself, what I can’t play I get some talented friends in to help out.

What inspired you to write this release?
The latest song is “Can’t Get Enough” Inspired by my wife.
Describe the writing and recording process
I usually have the music idea first and lay down some bed track to develop the song structure.
Once the song structure is there I rerecord all the parts.
If I need some help I will call in some friends.
Vocal takes are usually the last thing.
I mix the song and send it out for mastering
