I Am Chris Ruggiero
New York-based pop singer Chris Ruggiero has just released his appropriately entitled album, “I Am Chris Ruggiero” and we are in love with the sounds on this disc. The singer has taken 13 classic songs and completely re-imagined them with the help of legendary arranger Charlie Calello. Ruggiero says he long-admired Calello, who has worked with the likes of Frank Sinatra, Frankie Valli, Barbra Streisand, Neil Diamon, Juice Newton, Barry Manilow and Paul Anka, to name a few. Calello indicates the admiration is now mutual. “It’s been a long time since I’ve heard a voice like this,” says Calello. Together, they created an album of which Calello says he is immensely proud.
The album contains songs that were originally released in the 50s, 60s and 70s but Ruggiero deems to be “timeless.” Among our favorites are “Put Your Head on My Shoulder,” which Ruggiero gave a smoother, jazzier treatment including a 21-piece orchestra. “We moved away from the 50s doo wopp feel of the original but the strings, the clarinets, the flutes and the brass still gave it the gravity that it deserved,” explains the singer. “These songs have a lot of meaning to people, so there was no way we weren’t going to go big when it came to the orchestrations.” The Philly soul classic “Betcha By Golly Wow” got a silky smooth make-over that could easily underscore the love affair in a major motion picture. Chris’s vocal on “My Cherie Amour” makes it sound like the song had been written just for him and the masterful instrumental jam featuring an exhilarating sax solo takes it to another level. The disc closes with “This Magic Moment” featuring only a guitar, violins, a viola, a cello and Chris Ruggiero’s tenor voice slipping in and out of falsetto in way that one might associate more with Bruno Mars or Shawn Mendes than with the artists who previously charted this song.
Chris’s CDs are available on his website and on most platforms where digital downloads are available for purchase (including iTunes and Amazon Music.)

Introducing Music By Alex Genadinik
There are many good musicians out there and each has something magical to offer. In this post I want to introduce you to Alex Genadinik and his unique songwriting.
He writes songs with unique ideas and imagery. Here is an analysis of his songs with metaphors. One example of his songs is “Oh Michelangelo” in which Alex uses Michelangelo’s famous painting “The Birth Of Adam” and repaints it to have two lovers caress each other in the song.
Alex’s other romantic songs similarly feature sweet lyrics and use similarly grandiose metaphors. His other songs have lovers meeting in their dreams on their stars as they fall asleep, in the clouds, on Romeo and Juliet’s balcony, and many other romantic settings.
But Alex doesn’t just write romantic sons. His lyrics focus on capturing a slice of life without being afraid of difficult situations or emotions. Yet in these difficult emotions, we find a lot of humanity. Our shared experiences as people is what makes songs about these kinds of topics such relatable songs - we can all identify because we have all been in these situations and we recognize ourselves in the story of the song.
He has a number of songs about loneliness, compassion, songs about support, hope, disappointment, and much more.
Alex got his inspiration from Bulat Okudzhava, a Russian singer-songwriter. Bulat Okudzhava was one of the best and most popular singer-songwriters in 20th Century Russia, but he is little known in the west because he wrote in a different language. Alex has translated some of Bulat’s songs to English to share them with English-speaking audiences. Here is a playlist of all of Alex’s translations ok Okudzhava’s music:
Alex keeps adding songs to this playlist so if you like his of Okudzhava’s songs, subscribe to his channel to stay up-to-date with his latest releases.
If you want to know more about Alex’s work, he doesn’t just do music. He is also known in the Elearning space. He is a very popular Udemy instructor and he even helps new Elearning businesses get started by licensing white label video courses to those companies so they can start by having a full library of online courses on day one.

Interview with Max P
Love Music: Tell us a little bit about yourself. Your background, education, music passion etc. ??
I was born into a musical home. My mother used to sing for fun and my dad played the drums in a local band. My grandfather was the conductor of a marching band who also composed music. As a kid I was always surrounded by musical instruments, first I played around on my dad’s guitar but I never got the hang of it. So I turned to the drumkit and started pounding along with some records on my turntable. Later I learned to play keyboards and I also started recording stuff when I was a teenager. I always felt the need to express myself and I’m glad that I’ve been doing that professionally for the past twelve years.
Love Music: We’ve been hearing a lot about you, so we notice you’re starting to gain a lot of attention.How does it feel?
I am used to a role in the background, working with DJ’s with lots of fans. It’s nice to show up on stage every now and then to sing for their live audiences and get some attention, but then it’s nice to get off the stage and return to my fairly anonymous life. Now with these personal songs coming up I have to be seen. I’m not sure I like all the attention, but today I went to a party and several people came up to me telling me how moved they were by listening to my new single ‘Silence’. I’m excited to hear that my music has this effect on people.
Love Music: Can you please tell our readers more about 'Microphone Therapy'?
‘Silence’ is the first single in a collection of twelve songs that I wrote over the years, inspired by life events. Eventually I want to bundle all twelve songs into an album called ‘Microphone Therapy’, because that’s what it is to me. Writing these songs was a first step to deal with some life changing events. Recording and producing the songs was a confrontation with the dark side of my emotions. Vocalizing my experiences is a process of healing and that’s why I call it Microphone Therapy.
Love Music: Any upcoming songwriting project?
I’m glad that I took the time to write my personal songs for Microphone Therapy, because it also clears the head and makes room for new songs. I hope that helps when I’m writing new material with the producers and DJs that I frequently work with.
Love Music: What has been one of the most exciting achievements of your career so far ?
Professionally I have created music that generates buckets of streams, it brought me to some amazing places, performing on some of the biggest festivals and venues in the world. But personally, at the end of the day, really getting through to one person with a song is the ultimate achievement.
Love Music: What’s your goal in life?
Simply be happy.
Love Music: What motivates you to do your best work as vocalist?
I don’t consider myself to be a very good singer. I’m jealous of singers with rich and tone steady voices. So I compensate that by putting all my energy into a recording and trying my best to make the listener feel the emotion that the song requires.
Love Music: Did you choose this industry, as a career, or as a hobby?
For years I worked part time as a financial administrator in a wholesale company.Working part time allowed me to make enough money to get by and still have plenty of time to play in a band and work on music in any other way I could. Twelve years ago I quit that job and started earning my bread and butter in the music industry. It was quite a challenge at first, but eventually it turned out to be the right choice.
Love Music: Everybody needs a time out. What do you do in your free time?
I have my studio at home, so when I’m at home I’m working. If want to take some time off from work I really need to get out of the house.I like traveling to places where it’s not cold or rainy. My girlfriend likes that too, so that’s something we both enjoy.
Love Music: How can people find you and follow you online?
People can find me on Spotify, Youtube, Instagram, Twitter and Facebook. Let’s place the links below.

Interview with Maxi Curnow
Love Music: Tell us a little bit about yourself. Your background, education, music passion etc. ??
I started guitar when I was 9, I would’ve loved bandmates but I grew up in a small rural village - so it became really important to learn how to record myself and play different instruments to make music independently! Through school I was recording other people and hosting gig nights, I was obsessed. When I was about 17 and started visiting London, I was lucky to learn as an assistant for Tim Laws and also at Ronnie Scotts Jazz Club, eventually going on to work with both in a professional capacity. This was alongside a Music Production Degree at ACM, although I always preferred the hands on experience! After I left ACM I worked with a lot of bands alongside training/joining as a Firefighter - I’d compose music in a studio nearby and then rush to the fire station whenever my pager went off! After 4 years I got an injury, and decided to commit to music and filmmaking full time.
Love Music: can you please share with us your music production work?
There’s been a great mixture of genres, products and clients over the years. I do the music production on all of my own work which I love for the flexibility and range of sound one can achieve. That extended to mixing for bands and production music for TV/Film, and product development for Spitfire Audio; working intimately with the audio on Hans Zimmer, Abbey Road and Ólafur Arnalds projects. I also work at a Mastering Engineer, so a lot of music comes through my door!
Love Music: Your favourite project as a Mastering Engineer?
“Fire By The Silos” by Toska - Rabea Massaad is an incredible writer and that album was such a joy to work with.
Love Music: What's the reason behind choosing this profession ?
It started as a means to fund my own music, but I quickly discovered the joy and creativity of learning all the crazy and incredible things you can do with Pro Tools. I find production to be fascinating, I love playing with different sonic flavours to completely transform a song into whatever you want/need it to be. It feels like magic sometimes.
Love Music : What has been one of the most exciting achievements of your career so far ?
Learning when my music had been featured on certain TV shows was amazing, especially ones that I personally enjoy. I’m happy to say that there are a fair few, Louis Theroux particularly stood out! Working on Hans Zimmer projects with Spitfire was also very special.
Love Music: What’s your goal in life you want to achieve next?
I want to make a musical, bit in a slightly different way than people might expect! I’m also excited to share some collaborations on my next album.
Love Music: Did you choose this industry, as a career, or as a hobby?
I suppose both - Since I can remember it’s all I’ve done, I can’t imagine doing anything else! I’ve always been intrigued by a mixture of things within production, so it’s never felt dull.
Love Music: Your fav. Song?
Grace, Jeff Buckley
