    David Bowie tribute!

    I just heard this track that I produced and arranged on this David Bowie tribute album called “We were so turned on” on Manimal Vinyl records. The track was for Ariana Delawari and I produced it with Carlos Nino and I arranged all the strings and instruments. We did the track Ziggy Stardust and I am really excited about how it came out. It was really fun to take one of my favorite Bowie tunes and completely re-imagine it, we took out the iconic opening guitars and replaced them with synths and then strings. It features Ariana on vocals, me on keys and basses, Anna Stafford on violin, Matt Cooker on Cello, Dexter Story on drums, and a lot of the members of the LA Ladies Choir (Jenny-O did a amazing job arranging the backing vocal parts). I am so honored to be a part of this tribute with so many artists and I hope you all go pick up the whole (all proceeds go to charity I believe).
