From the film 'The Out-of-Towners' (1999)
Arranged & Produced by yours truly.

Mervyn Warren & Josie Aiello "Isn't It Romantic" (1999)

Written in 2008 for a Nelson Mandela tribute project that was in development, but which never materialized. (Prelude to the song "Deep In My Heart," which I've also posted here.)

"Mandela Prelude"

this is the demo of a song that i wrote (both music and lyrics). i'm also singing all of the vocals. although intended as a demo, this recording was actually used in an episode of the tv show "noah's arc," circa 2006.

Mervyn Warren - "Slow Motion" (demo)

A tribute to Alma Blackmon, a primary musical influence in my life. As a member of her choral group, "The Aeolians," I (we) sang this piece -- "E'en So, Lord Jesus, Quickly Come" by Paul Manz -- all over the globe (literally). This is my reinterpretation of an excerpt of that piece.

Mervyn Warren - "E'en So" (Tribute To Alma)

demo of the love theme for the play 'the interlopers.'

Mervyn Warren - Love Theme For 'The Interlopers'

2010 collaboration between multi-award-winning producer, Mervyn Warren (piano, production) and Kier (vocals). Song originally performed by The Doobie Brothers in 1978.

What A Fool Believes (demo collab w/ Mervyn Warren)

This is the demo of a wedding song that I wrote with Siedah Garrett -- and which I recently sang live (with Nita Whitaker) at Siedah's own wedding to Erik Nuri.

This demo features Siedah and myself on vocals.

Take 6 - "WELOVE Jingle #2"

An unreleased track I arranged and produced for the vocal group 'For Real' in 1994. (Yeah, before Auto-Tune existed. LOL.) These girls can SING!

For Real - "Just My Imagination"

Cover of Soon ah will be done by committed. Bullz and Ecks on vocals. Phixx on lead. Enjoy

Soon Ah Will Be Done

a demo i created for a recent movie score. i sang all parts and played all instruments.

the director wanted it to sound like the score to "butch cassidy and the sundance kid." little did he know, that score was performed by 'the swingle singers,' and i'd grown up listening to them. literally. (ultimately the director abandoned the "butch cassidy" idea.)

Mervyn Warren - "PM Swingle" (demo)

Lyrics by Mervyn Warren
Music by Mervyn Warren & Alex Teamer

Lead vocal: Nayanna Holley

Written in 2008 for a Nelson Mandela tribute project that was in development, but which never materialized.

Just now (6.30.13), on MSNBC, I saw a clip of President Obama in Africa, saying "If they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love."

Those are lyrics in the 2nd verse of this song! Although it's *possible* he might have heard this demo, I'd say it's unlikely. But -- wow.  :-)

"Deep In My Heart" (Song Demo)

5-time Grammy-winning film & TV composer, record producer/arranger, songwriter/lyricist, pianist, vocalist, and all-around fun guy.
