Hi Mo,

Really great seeing you play Friday, hope I didn’t come on too strong with the fan-boy praise but also hope you know it’s genuine and comes from a place of total humility - huge amount of admiration for what you do…

In that light, wanted to book a mentoring session to pick your brain about arranging + producing for pop records - think you know me as a writer and guitarist primarily, but I’ve also been working on my engineering / programming chops for the past few years as well

I’m attaching a couple examples of work I’ve done recently with context below, so it’s less abstract (Marianne, Natalie, and I will have more info for you on that front soon, so going to leave that aside for now)… 

1) I Just Can’t Believe - Solo thing that I wrote, recorded and arranged; a mixer I hire some times handled the vocal, but I ended up rebuilding + mixing the instrumental around his a cappella 

2) Light Up My Heart - I produced this instrumental for a co-write I did w/ Jeff Franzel (also a mentor at TSA) and two Austrian artists for their next album project - it’s this is just the first draft quick mix for the demo

3) Skip to the Kiss - Another solo thing that I’m working on, first draft full arrangement and not yet mixed 

4) Sugar Rush - Another work in progress, my co-write with Maria + Kim from the retreat. The vocal is just a quick guide vocal I had a friend slap on for me to produce around, also not yet mixed at all 

Looking forward to chatting Thurs - can provide more context then 

Best,
Gabriel
