The "Michael" album has caused significant conversation, frustration and anger since it's release in 2010. I had no direct connection to it, although I did know and like a couple of the songs.

The MJ fan community knew something was "off" with at least three of the songs, leading to a deep investigation by my friend Damien Shields. He and his is stop-at-nothing team created a long-form very detailed account of the "Michael" album missteps, presented in his "Faking Michael" podcast.

In this episode I share my thoughts on Damien's findings and talk about how and why recording Michael's vocals (ironically sung by Michael) was such a rare and unique process to be a part of.

Huge shout-out to Damien and his team for an amazingly detailed piece of journalism! Check out his series here: https://www.youtube.com/c/FakingMichael

Recently I spent a weekend in Hamilton, Ontario to work on my "Mixing and Stories" event with one of Halo Studio's engineers, Danny Smart. We had some great conversations together so I asked Danny if he would be interested in coming on the podcast to further our discussions on travel, the music industry, and what Michael Jackson song he enjoyed mixing the most. I hope you enjoy our conversation!

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the release of the HIStory album, I gathered my buddies Matt Forger, Rob Hoffman, and Tony Black for a round table discussion swapping stories and memories about working with Michael back in the studio in 1994. We answer questions you submitted, share stories, and reflect on just how fortunate we were to be a part of such an iconic album. Happy 30th HIStory!
