ThrowBacks: #1 Ryan Leslie

leslie_410x300

Okay, I’m not going to lie.  I’ve been SWAMPED and I’m sitting here amongst 17 coffee cups…still counting.  It has been a busy, busy fall.  I have not a single complaint however, between gigs, practicing, concerts, harp students, article writing and that thing called life (what’s that again?), I have had no time to blog.  I made a blogging commitment and I’m sticking to it!  I have plenty to blog about with all that’s going on now, but no time to go in and go hard!  So I decided to post some videos/shots of blasts from past, in daily or weekly sections (stalling tactic).

So…this one here, I’m posting a video from way back in ’06.  It’s Ryan Leslie Producing Cassie’s “Just One Nite”.

Location: Somewhere in Times Square

Time: Definitely Around 2am

Attire: Pijamas and Jeans :-/

In a Nutshell: FRESH out of college got the call at 11pm to do the session, hopped in the car and was in the studio by 12am. Ryan worked his magic and the job was done by about 3am.

This one here, a partay.

Location: Somewhere in Jersey

Time: 1:00am

Attire: Turquoise Dress, kind of short for harping :-/

In a Nutshell: Got the call on Friday night for the party on Saturday. Went to NS Headquarters to learn the tune, and drove out to Jersey & had fun!

    If Rachel wasn’t spending the night with you and able to go with you, you may have never made that “Cassie” recording!
