About LA LA LIFE

LA LA LIFE: Recorded in Boulder, Colorado with Vinnie Colaiuta!

I went to Boulder, Colorado to record my album with a lot of help from some amazing people. Being an out of the box musician in the Bahamas makes me crave and appreciate musicians who are not limited by style and interests. I met Brendan Parnell when I was self- banished from America after September 11th and was blessed to work with one of the most gifted and magical guitarists at home. We instinctively connected and wrote and played many songs with intense folk, rock and soul helpings.  Brendan joined me in Colorado to record my album LA LA LIFE. 

I met and connected with super producer Michael Verdick, affectionately called MV, who got Vinnie Colaiuta, one of the top drummers in the world, to play drums on my album!  The drum sessions were a dream. 

Vinnie would ask what the feel of the song was, and I would say things like James Brown funk, Coldplay jungle, or going to church spiritual, and he would deliver the drums in one take, playing a second just for fun.  

 CREDITS & THANK YOU

Michael didn’t stop at Vinnie and got many amazing and established musicians to play on my album including:  

  • Steven Vidaic on organs (Citizen Cope);
  • Chris Engleman on bass (e-Town Band;
  • David Darling on cello;   
  • Paulinho DaCosta on Percussion;
  • Selina Albright on backing vocals.  

Brendan Parnell was a natural among all those talented musicians and his guitar creations are beautifully immortalized on La La Life. He passed away several years later and I  was called to sing at another loved one’s memorial. 

There are so many stories in my life like these where people live on in the songs I write and the songs I sing.  People live on in the songs we all sing.  

La La Life is an album filled with songs that shine a light on the difficulties in our lives that we must live through and encourages us to get to the other side.

It was created with hope and a call for us to wake up, face our day with gratitude for simply being alive and get to the next sun rise because the sunset may be magical.  

Thank you for your help!
