As we are soon to enter the second half of 2011, I must say, it’s been a truly exciting half a year: beginning with my work with the very gifted, smart, inspiring and lovely Katy Perry… followed by a highly rewarding time working on American Idol with those amazing kids. Kudos of course to the amazing Michael Orland whose musical gifts never cease to amaze. I have also loved working with Michael writing the opening song for Erich Bergen’s new concert. Next up was Michael Suczy’s (“Grey Gardens”) latest directorial venture, “The Vow”. Coaching Channing Tatum for this new film was one of the coolest gigs ever. Chan has a fantastic work ethic – so talented and so much fun to hang and work with. This beautiful film will be released on Valentine’s Day 2012. Soon after, I began work with Cybill Shepherd on her new one woman show… We’re collaborating on the script — I’m directing and coaching her on the songs. She is a masterful singer – ready to stun the world with her gifts. Next up, are two Broadway musicals I’m co-writing, a new film with a prominent star and a variety TV series I conceived. It’s all hush hush but watch here for details. Until next time, keep singing like there’s nobody listening.
