Walk us through your music creation process, specifically for this song.

Answer:

This song composed by keyboardist Curtis Styles and Aranged by drummer Steve Adorno, was created virtually by sending the master trax to each member of the group through email. Each musician recorded their instrument at their home studio and added their unique parts. They then sent back their "stems" via email to producer/composer drummer Steve Adorno and added to the master track for final mix and mastering.
