Sittin’ on this track for a while, but kept messing with different mixes. Finally decided to just put it out and let it go.

Somebody's Remix (Instrumental)

Okay, so this song is pretty significant and special to me because I consider it to be the defining moment for me as a producer. I spent the past 4 years wondering if I was even good enough to even be considered a true producer. Back in 2009 I was able to work on a Universal Republic Records album release, and saw some minor success as a co-producer. I was a part of a couple record breaking statistics from both a No.1 single and album, but as quickly as those accomplishments came, the quicker things faded to black for me business-wise. After that I was pretty much on my own again, and not even sure I wanted record or produce any kind of track ever. It was the worst time in my life for me until one day I sat down at my workstation and started playing that guitar riff. Reminds me of Prince’s “Purple Rain” when he led into his song with that guitar. Next thing I knew I was laying instrumentations down one after another until I have this emotional R&B/Pop/Rock kind of ballad I guess. It means to me that I still have something to say, and it echoes the anger and bitterness I had at one time. I felt as though I’d given all of me and certain people took advantage, and then left me there to drown sort of. But I was meant to rise above it and move forward. 

All Of Me (Instrumental)

I have a love for many genres of music. Although I tend to gravitate to the R&B/Pop types of tracks, I like incorporating some rock elements. To me it brings different kind of emotions – almost gut wrenching. I think I was in a pretty irritated, borderline angry mood when I wrote this because of something I’d read a few days prior. Someone who I thought was, above all else, a true friend had made a comment as if to allude to the fact that I’d left the picture, and they “missed me”, as in they missed our friendship I assume. I just kept thinking, “Where did I go?” That person is still very much able to contact me (my numbers haven’t changed), yet I haven’t heard from them in years. I found it hurtful, and sort of painful, so that’s what I based this track around. I started it on January 31st of 2012, and finished it New Years’ Day, 2013. 

Where Did I Go (Instrumental)

R&B/Pop inspired. Just having some fun with melody and layers.

Chances

This is a concept I've been working on for a little while now. Definitely a work in progress though. 

No Superman (Instrumental)

Kowan here, just posting tracks as I finish mixing. No agenda, just sharing what I’ve done to whoever wishes to listen!
