A Spring Writing Update
I just returned from an amazing trip to London, UK where I was writing at Kensaltown Studios with some amazing artists. Kensaltown is a studio set up by Martin Terefe (producer for Jason Mraz, Train, KT Tunstall) and it’s quite the hub of activity, with many amazing producers and writers working there, one of which is my good friend James Bryan (whom you may remember as the guitarist of Sunshine State and the Philosopher Kings). I wrote quite a few songs there at the studio with european label artists who were coming through; one of the personal highlights for me was a song called “Outlaw” that James and I wrote with Sophie Delila (an artist signed to Universal Music, France). Our trip got extended by a few days due to the volcanic activity in Iceland and the disruption of air travel, but for me that was a plus because it meant I got to celebrate my birthday in London on May 1!
