Steve Greenwell in July

Hey everybody !

Just to keep ya up to date ... July has found me Producing Joey DeGraw, finishing up the last few tracks of his upcoming release. James Maddock, although Jame's doesn't require much "producing." James is putting out his this new record very shortly. I look for him to garner loads of buzz with this fine collection of songs. Lastly but not leastly, Shawn Pander is coming back to NYC to do some work on his next batch of songs. The response from the first 5 songs has been, uhh ... sick. All 3 of these guys are terrific writers/artists.

Pce !

Diane Birch & Steve Greenwell

Me & Diane @ Sear Sound tracking some piano. The Piano in studio A @ Sear is a 100 year old Steinway C. Amazing sound !

Diane Birch comes to Stevestudio

Hey everybody,

Very excited ! very excited indeed to have Diane Birch @ stevestudio. Along with Diane is vocal producer, miss Betty Wright. Betty & I worked together extensively during Joss' earlier days. Miss "B" is a member of the Billboard Soul Music Hall Of Fame. She was a singing star when she was a teen. Snoop Dogg also immortalizes her in a couple of his songs, ie: "tonight is the night, like Betty Wright. A mention of one of Miss B's earlier hits, "Tonight Is The Night."
Diane is in the process of making her debut record on S-Curve, and I have to say, this is one fine album that I believe will garner major attention. She has a terrific voice, she's a great singer and her songs are excellent and sometimes epic. Here's a pic of Miss B & me at my console. I'll be cutting a few new songs with Diane Miss B & Steve Greenberg this week, then if all goes well, I'll mix this thang into the mega-hit it deserves to become.
