So Chris Ellis and I had a blast recording a few Christmas songs in the studio a few days ago. Chris laid out the feel for Silent Night by telling me his vision of a single voice in an empty church. A simple version that kept to the authenticity of the song.

I got to thinking - I've always wanted to do a music video with just a phone. No multi-camera, lights and tricks. Just a phone.

I made a call to my friend at Chestnut Grove Baptist - a 201 year old church near me - and they were so kind to let us use the space.

It's by no means perfection, but think it still came out very well. I learned a lot! Can't wait for the next one!

Just returned from a trip to the Amazon River! The song has already started to form! I love how my creative process usually starts with an incredible experience. The Music comes then shortly after lyrics begin to gather. I know not to rush it. I wait and listen, write, edit, repeat, until it forms.

What's your process like?
