The Lees


One of the coolest guitarists I’ve ever known is a multi-talented dude called Bruce Lee (no relation to the martial arts superstar, though I happen to be a fan of both!) – ‘multi’ ‘cos apart from bass, lead and rhythm guitar, he also plays drums, mridangam, flute, keyboard, saxophone and God knows whatever else!

He and his wife Nisha (an out of the world pianist herself) also happen to be my good friends and both agreed to help out with the album.

Bruce will take care of all the guitar work and Nisha will handle the vocal parts along with Mano.

Thank you Lord for providing the right people at the right time!

Finalizing the Music Maker


Contacted Gerard a.k.a. Mano to his friends to check if he would be willing to take up the music production for the album and he agreed.

Gave him raw recordings of the songs and he seemed to like them :)

Mano’s way of making music is very unique – he wants only the vocal track sung in preferred key and tempo. He decides on the feel of the song from the vocal track, chooses the chords and produces the music all by himself! Can’t wait to see what he does with these songs!

So finally, after years of waiting, writing, re-writing, composing and re-composing, work has finally begun on the album, praise the Lord!
