Congrats on the release! What was your inspiration for this song?
Released 7/31/2020. When the pandemic first hit I was forced to stay inside like everyone else which limited any chance to hop over to the studios I work in to record. I decided to test out my own setup at home and begin a project with some teammates of mine that at its core was about going out and having fun with my friends and family! Electric Currents is all about that; getting back to the people you love and bringing back that electric energy. Electric Currents is definitely inspired by the late 1970’s disco-pop club scene and has a fun dance quality to it without it feeling EDM or House.

What is your vision for this song? What lessons would you like to impart with your audience?
My hope is that people feel good right from the top of the song. The song starts with the chorus and immediately follows with a top-down sunshine on your face melody and beat to the verses. It’s meant to bring the listener on a trip and something you could play with your friends while enjoying the Summer and a cold beverage by the pool or in your living room.

What is your favorite part of the song?
My favorite part of the song is the bassline and the melodies. I made a 7 song EP (due out later in September) with a few of my dearest colleagues with whom I’ve written a lot of music. I wanted to include a funky bassline on all the songs and have that be one of the main characters of each song on the EP. The melody of “Electric Currents” is easy to sing along to and was important to me to have that come right out from the start, I mean why not start with a hook! Most of these songs on the EP do just the same.

Anything else we should know about it? Future releases? Upcoming events?
I have my 3rd single “Bad Girl” coming out on August 31st which is more a nighttime funky pop song that incorporates a throwback feeling and pays tribute to some of the greats like, Prince, David Bowie, and Stevie Wonder. The song is structured around a modern hip/hop beat with contemporary production elements. The EP “Nighttime [A]” will be out sometime late September.
