Recording "Black & White in Color"



With my EP coming out next month, I got to thinking about how my first professional recording process had been. Honestly, Recording my debut EP couldn’t have been more surreal. It was as if I were Alice and had jumped down the rabbit hole; quite literally. We recorded it in Silverlake at Mad Hatter Studios, which is themed after “Alice in Wonderland”, in the main studio which is titled “Alice’s Wonderland”. For ten days straight, my dad and I were there recording and mixing pretty much 24/7, leaving the studio most days at around 6am! I was surrounded by the most incredible musicians and crew, got to work with my brilliant dad, and even had my friends come and clap on one of my songs, titled “Ferris Wheel”. The whole process couldn’t have been more fun or have gone more smoothly. It was a dream come true!

And the album, titled “Black and White in Color”, turned out exactly how I had envisioned it! It’s unconventionally mainstream. My dad knows me extremely well, so he was able to arrange and produce it in a way that brought out my best characteristics, and then twisted them in this cool way that’s different than anything out there. Yet, I think people will still be able to relate to it.

I hope everyone reading this gets a chance to buy and listen to what us musicians created in those two weeks over at Mad Hatter Studios!
