We made a cover of Because for our friend Arturo, who passed away recently. He was a big Beatles fan. I did the three different vocal parts myself, and Hans produced it all and created the video. Because was originally sung by The Beatles and released on the 1969 album Abbey Road. Arturo, this one is for you. (more…)
My cover of Hey There Delilah by Plain White T’s (2006) . It tells the story of a long-distance relationship, sung from the perspective of a guy reassuring Delilah that their love is strong despite the miles between them. It became a huge hit worldwide, known for its gentle melody and emotional, conversational lyrics.This song also really called for a harmony, so why not? Hans made the video again.It was Sue’s choice for the WSC. (more…)

It truly pushed me to explore a different kind of expression. I hope you can feel the atmosphere and intensity that make this song so unique. (more…)
My cover of Red Red Wine. The song was originally written and recorded by Neil Diamond in 1967. It expresses heartbreak and the desire to forget pain with the help of wine. It became truly famous in 1983 when UB40, a British reggae band, released their cover. (more…)
