Human Nature has always been one of my most favorite songs by the late great legendary King of Pop, Mr. Michael Jackson. I was privileged to get to record the vocals on this track at the equally legendary studio Westlake Audio the very studio where MJ recorded the real thing as well as The whole album Thriller among many other great records. ( Westlake clientele includes Michael Jackson, Rihanna, Shakira, Justin Timberlake, Madonna, Ne-Yo, Donna Summer, Alanis Morissette, Boston, Van Halen, Frank Ocean, Josh Groban, Quincy Jones, Dave Matthews, Kelly Clarkson, Nas, Keyshia Cole, Aaliyah, Missy Elliott, Britney Spears, Nine Inch Nails, Justin Bieber, Fifth Harmony ) Special thanks goes to Al Machera owner of Westlake Audio and Doug Fenske director of education at Cre8 Music academy for making this possible. Phenomenal belief in me and kindness of spirit allowed me to make something magic happen. I spent almost 6 months honing the production and arrangement on this track then another year on my own. I didn't want to just redo the song as is. I wanted to put my own stamp on it in every way possible. I'm very proud of the final outcome and I'll say this song is kind of a flex of how many different skills of mine I pushed to the limit. Musical arrangement, reharmonization, guitar virtuosity, vocal performance... pre and post production. I produced and performed and mixed all the music. Edo Tancredi my good friend and talented drummer lended some live drums to the production as the final addition and Chris Andrews put his touch into some of the vocal processing. Then I set to the task of mixing this monster. There are more than 150 tracks to this piece. Live instruments, guitars, bass, tons of percussion and drum layers as well as synths of my own design, EDM programming automation and modern production techniques that I learned during my time at Westlake Audio... It really is quite something. Took a lot of special friends and supporters to make it happen. Always so grateful for the support I receive from the music community. Thank you to all. RIP MJ forever. Super love and acknowledgement to the genius of Steve Porcaro of Toto and John Bettis the amazing songwriters/lyricists and musicians who gave this song the ice fire instrumental riffs beautiful poetry that hold up even decades later as groundbreaking and timeless all at once. Hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed creating it.
