I am particularly proud of the song ‘Here to Love’ on Lenny Kravitz’s new album, Raise Vibration. We had a long day tracking synthesizers and Lenny called me into the live room to go over a song idea he had. He directed me to play the piano–as he sung and worked out the chords/lengths of sections/builds etc… After about an hour Lenny went into the vocal booth and Craig Ross recorded us. One take. No click. I remember being super nervous–as there was nothing but Lenny singing and myself on piano. We tried to do a second take but realized we nailed it on take one. I added some minimoog bass and string pad from a synth–I’m the only musician (non-singer) on the song. Lenny later added a choir at the end–but the essence is still the same: those few minutes in the Bahamas singing and playing a song with all our heart.
Lenny joined forces with UN Human Rights and their #FightRacism campaign to promote tolerance, equality, and diversity.
I also played ‘Here to Love’ live with Lenny at the 12th annual CNN Heroes: An All-Star Tribute.
