This is an orchestral composition composed during my final semester at Berklee College of Music. I composed and arranged the score, created all the parts for the musicians, and conducted the film scoring session.

Final Sunset

This an original song, with music and lyrics written by myself. The production was done with MIDI sounds coming from Reason and Garageband, and mixed down in Pro Tools. 

Something's Coming

The song is originally from the Broadway adaptation of The Lion King, later used in the 1998 Direct-to-Video sequel, “The Lion King II: Simba’s Pride”. It’s one of my favorite songs from The Lion King franchise, and I wanted to share my version with you!

I originally made this arrangement/recording back in 2008, during my time studying at Berklee College of Music, for a vocal writing project. In the wake of the new live-action remake coming out, I was inspired to release this song on social media, but I decided I needed to update it’s mix, so I went and completely remixed it from scratch, cleaning up and sweetening my original version. 

I recorded and performed all the instruments and most of the lead and background vocals. This recording also features a special guest vocalist, Aubrey Logan, whom I went to Berklee with ten years ago! You might have seen her performing with Post-Modern Jukebox, Dave Koz, and headlining her own solo career. 

I hope you all enjoy this arrangement of “He Lives In You”!
