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.)

Interview with Zachary Campos Funky MC

Zachary – great to catch up with you, and congrats for the upcoming album! For those who don’t know, how would you describe your current sound?

I would describe my current sound as a mix of 2000’s indie rock, 1970’s punk rock, and 1980’s old-school hip-hop.

Why the album title Funky MC?

The title Funky MC serves as a homage to the old-school rap records I love so much. I love funky hip-hop from artists such as the Beastie Boys, Kurtis Blow, Grandmaster Flash & The j Furious Five, Eric B. & Rakim, Ultramagnetic MC’s, Cold Crush Brothers, and Run-D.M.C. I wear my influences on my sleeve, and I decided to choose an album name that honors the artists I study on a daily basis.

“Scorching” seemed like a fitting introduction to the new project – what inspired this approach, this fusion of retro punk and old school rap?

The biggest influence for the musical direction of “Scorching” was the Beastie Boys. For this song, I set out to make a track that I myself would listen to. I would say I succeeded in that goal.

Do you play the guitar on this album, and if so, how long have you been playing, and who are your influences?

The person you hear playing guitar on the record is Tim J Abbott. He also plays bass on all of the tracks. The influences I gave Tim for the guitar sound of this album were the Beastie Boys, the Ramones, and Joy Division.

Was there a conceptual plan with the album, or more of a stylistic and fun intention?

It was a mix of both. The majority of this album was written while I was at a gig for a birthday party. It definitely added to the experience of writing since I felt so creatively inspired. The songs were written in an efficient manner. I wanted to create my dream album in a sense. A mashup of punk rock and old-school rap with a modern day indie twist.

The sound is fairly minimalist - what’s your production set-up, and is this an entirely self-made released?

The process of how this album was made started on my phone. I recorded the demos for Funky MC using my GarageBand app. I then sent them to Josh Zuckermann and Tim J Abbott Of Kingdom Voice Productions in Santa Clara, California. About a week or so later I came into the studio and recorded the entire album in a day. Tim played the guitar, I recorded the drums using a keyboard, and both Josh & Tim handled production. It was a very fun and effective process. I returned 2 days later to finish mixing & mastering the album with Tim And Josh. It was an incredible recording experience.

Most of the songs note significantly short runtimes. What was your creative process like, was this a freestyle approach on the mic, or pre-written, and does the short timespan represent anything in particular?

All songs for this record were pre-written. Most of the lyrics come from freestyles I do at my live performances. For example, “I’m feeling great, I believe in fate, and destiny, you heard it straight from me” is something I would definitely say in a freestyle. Songs such as “Traffic” and “Everything” came from my usual writing style of writing as a poem first and song second. The Short timespan of the songs is an homage to the Ramones and their first album.

We get hints of connection to a more personal story with the likes of ‘Funky’ and ‘Everything’ –how important is authenticity and heartfelt reflection for this project?

I always put my heart into everything I do. The biggest contributing factor to the sincerity in my lyricism is the fact that I’m going to be a dad come this fall. It’s the best thing that’s ever happened to me and has made me want to be more honest, not only to the people in my life I love so much, but to myself as well.

What’s your plan of action for the rest of the year, post release?

My plan of action is to be at peace with my spirit, to be good to the ones I love, and to be a great father.

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.
