People say it takes a village to raise a child. Well it also takes a village to make music. I want to introduce you to the creative crew that has made and is making all of this possible.
PRODUCER
Andrew Blooms (Athens, GA) https://www.andrewblooms.com/bloomsounds
“Genius” is the best word I can think of for Andrew. He basically composes all the music and plays all the instruments you hear on these tracks. He is super easy to work with and has this ability to create the music that matches the emotion each of my poems. If you are a musician or lyricist and need someone to take you to the next level, he is your guy.
MUSICIANS/SINGERS
Gabby Case (Atlanta, GA) Instagram: @gabbycase
Voice from heaven. Guitar Skills. Soul, Soul, Soul. And a pure heart for worship. Gabby’s vocals were essential for The History Project being what it was.
Gabby Li (Portland, OR) Instagram: @gabrielleli1
A gift for melodies. Vocals that are so powerful and clear. Prayers that are even more powerful. Gabby personally prayed us through a major creative block and her prophetic prayers became some of my favorite lines in The History Project.
Solomon Grimes (Fort Wayne, IN) Instagram:@solomon.grimes
It is hard to encapsulate in words all that Sol brings to AMD. Encouragement, life, inspiration, motivation, beats, and a whole lot of fun. He helps me in major ways to shoulder the load of all of this. If you need a life-coach, encourager, or inspirational leader then check him out.
Kirsten Boss (Athens, GA) @kirstennboss
To say she is amazing at the cello is an understatement. She came in on a couple tracks on The History Project, played it by ear, improvised, and just KILLED it. If you need a string specialist, look her up.
PHOTOGRAPHY/VIDEOGRAPHY
Evan Reece (Athens, GA) https://www.evanreecemedia.com
A master at capturing in video what it feels like to be in a room. When you watch his videos you get the feeling like you are actually there. Amazing. His heart is also amazing and I just wished he lived in Tulsa! His video credits include The History Project Restoration video from 2018, the Moonshine Recap Video from 2019, and the Moonshine and Artist M.D. music videos that are yet to be released.
Timothy DeBruyn (Tulsa, OK) IG: @timothyjvisuals
I can’t tell you how thankful I am to have found T.J. He is super talented and I love hanging out with him! He is shooting most of the videos from the new album as well as some live events. If you need photo/video help, look him up.
WEB DESIGN
Casey Needham https://caseyneedham.com
He is so good and so easy to work with. Great design ideas, clear communication, and integrity. If you have a dream for a website or design project then let him help you out!
WIFE
Katie
She is not on social media but by far the most important person to me on this team. Without her none of this would have happened. She continually pushed me to follow this calling and share my gifts with the world. Thank you, Katie!
