This is why I do what I do ππππ
Thank you JAMES
Today's is the amazing Kevin Wesley Williams of WesMix and The Sound Shop!
In 2015, Erin Elise Accomando released her first record as/with ELSIE BINX (with a cd release show). I listened to "Smile and a Bullet", went to the show, and thought "wow, he really captured her!"
I try very hard not to be jealous because it gets you nowhere. Every journey is different. So, at that moment, I knew wanted my VERSION of what Kevin did for Erin.
Finally, in January of 2020, I went, "f**k it!" Maybe my version of Kevin was, in fact, Kevin. So, I sent him a message and said, "I'm ready." We recorded demos for "PRIDE" (yet to be released) and then... *BOOM*: shutdown. When things slowly started to open up, we met up to do some additional work on what would become "Pride (Stripped)", followed by the "hi / jt" series.
We're still hard at work making new music for all of you. And much like he did for Erin and he continues to do for ELSIE BINX, he has managed to capture something from inside my brain that even I didn't realize was possible. It's not what I "heard". It's BETTER.
