With Berlin in full social distancing and quarantine mode options to perform live have become \u00a0non-existent. Fortunately with a home studio and a partner who is a total techie the possibilities to make music and videos were endless.<\/span><\/p>\n

Matthew Presidente<\/a>, one of my best friends & favourite musicians to collaborate with, decided to start a concert series on Youtube called \u201cWorld is Watching\u201d.\u00a0 The concept for this weekly Youtube series is to collaborate and do duets with artists\/musicians and connect with audiences\u00a0 The show is pre-recorded and video edited since there are a lot of people involved each week and a no budget facebook live stream can be unreliable and very poor quality.\u00a0 Matthew reached out to me mid-March to be a part of the show and I immediately said yes.\u00a0 So, Matthew began working on \u201cWorld is Watching\u201d in Vancouver on March 18th. \"\"Don and I quickly converted our apartment in Berlin into a recording\/filming studio to record & film my backing tracks for two of Matthew\u2019s songs \u201cGracious\u201d & \u201cValentines Day\u201d.\u00a0<\/span>All of the artists\/musical guests invited to participate put a little elbow grease and love into the project!\u00a0 \u201cWorld is Watching\u201d Episode 01 premiered on Matthew President\u2019s Youtube<\/a> Monday, March 23rd at 8:00 p.m. (Pacific).<\/p>\n
