Streets of Sorrow is a song which I recorded with Jake Kinealy at South Park Church in 2013. It is the final song on the EP Streets of Sorrow. Our band, Sierra Ridge, played shows locally throughout the Chicago area at clubs in the city and community events. The orchestra director at my high school, a Juilliard graduate, heard us play and loved our music. So together we wrote music for the orchestra to our song and preformed together .  Unfortunately, I do not have a recording of that collaboration, but this is the song that inspired it.

I had an opportunity to record the Northwest Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Paul Vermel with a family friend, John Born. John is employed with Shure and is an expert on microphones and other audio equipment.  Not only was I able to work with him on this recording, but also in doing live sound for a Jazz Festival at Elmhurst College and several other events.  All recording and post-production was done by the two of us.

Lost in a Dream by Perennial Youth was recorded in 2011. This was one of the first recordings that I did when I was just learning really how to record and do post production on a song and EP. It was recorded at my house with limited equipment and a 7 channel Behringer mixer. We made the most of the equipment that we had and It helped me learn the basics of audio.

This recording was done in a Columbia College Recording Studio in 2012. I used Pro Tools and had access to high quality equipment. With access to a real studio, I was able to expose myself to a lot of the industry's standards. The band ZOO has successfully made a name for themselves at Columbia College sponsoring several music events. ZOO has also played venues such as The Metro, Bottom Lounge, Reggie's Rock Club to name a few.
