“You’re always five minutes away from a life-changing moment.”

In between rehearsing, I’ve had inspiring conversations with the City Chamber Orchestra of Hong Kong’s Chief Conductor Vahan Mardirossian.

He shared that as a fresh music graduate in Paris, he spent most of his time rehearsing— even when no work seemed to be in sight for any of the young musicians.

Then one day, a well-known concert pianist was unable to perform for a big show. And guess what? Vahan had practiced so much, he knew the repertoire by heart. On that evening, an influential critic watched, and wrote about him the next day. And just like that, his career was set.

He said something I resonate with— that a life-changing moment can happen anytime, within the next five minutes, even. What matters is that you’re prepared for it, so that you will have the confidence to say yes.

I’m starting a new cover series of “Songs that made me”! I feel like musicians are shaped by the music they grow up listening to, so I decided to cover all my favourite songs I grew up with❤️ what’s a better beginning than a whole new world? Possibly one of the most romantic songs ever!!

This song was originally sung by Lea Salonga in the first Disney movie, and she was always my favourite Broadway singer!!! The way she pronounced each word, how she projected her voice, how she shaped her mouth has always been super influential to my singing so hopefully I’d do this song no shame in covering it🙏🙏🙏 I sometimes get comments like “why are you so loud?” And I think one of the reasons why is because are used to dream of being a Broadway singer and was trained to always project because there isn’t always on microphone. Pop music, especially Cantopop is quite different in that sense. I have spent the past 10 years learning to become a better pop singer, and will continue learning for the rest of my life. Hope you enjoy our cover of a Whole new world from Aladdin!

HAVANA MEETS KINGSTON: The Album & Documentary

Australia’s leading reggae and dancehall producer and accomplished pianist, Mista Savona (aka Jake Savona), has gathered some of Cuba and Jamaica’s most influential musicians in the one recording studio to create a world first album.

Despite their huge respective global appeal and geographical proximity, there has never been a full length album that unites the unique sounds of both Jamaican and Cuban music - till now. This is a truly groundbreaking record and project that honours both islands' incredible musical foundations and legacies while inspiring and creating something entirely new. Drawing from the styles the islands are best known for - roots reggae, dub and dancehall on one hand and son, salsa, rumba and Afro-Cuban on the other - 'Havana Meets Kingston' sees an incredible team of musicians come together to bend and twist genres effortlessly, and the results are exceptional.

Savona's main intention is to bring Jamaican soundsystem and bass culture together with Cuba's electrifying and virtuosic Afro-Cuban and jazz traditions, and this is where the album excels and is unique in musical history. Energetic and passionate vocals in Spanish, English and Jamaican patois twist and turn over the distinctly Cuban rhythms and melodies, while the deep basslines that Jamaica is best known for pulse underneath, unifying the music of both cultures and creating something fresh, bold and exciting.

'Havana Meets Kingston' brings together established and emerging Cuban and Jamaican musicians in an album of mostly original songs, as well as covers of classic Cuban material. The main recording sessions took place over 10 days in June 2015 at the famous Egrem Studio in Havana, Cuba. Savona personally flew seven Jamaicans into Havana for these sessions, including Sly & Robbie and Bongo Herman among other greats. Since this time he has travelled to Jamaica, Cuba and the UK numerous times to complete the recordings. The calibre of artists on this two part album project speaks volumes.

The full album is released on November 3, 2017: https://abcmusic.lnk.to/HavanaMeetsKingston

To add to this already grand project, acclaimed filmmakers Rick Mereki (of MOVE, EAT, LEARN fame), producer Lauren Beck and photographer Lara Merrington travelled to Cuba and Jamaica to capture every moment on film. They will be providing an independent documentary which will celebrate the music and stories of the artists involved against the backdrop of three diverse nations.
