How We Created It #2
(Studio Stories)
"Steven Ray and I appreciate the experience and honor it was to work in the studio with Michael Jackson and Quincy Jones while making Thriller.
We were always greeted with hugs into a small loving recording studio environment. The approach to music was collaborative and respectful. It was a safe zone for ideas, without a need to edit thoughts or emotions, that set the bar for our future careers.
We learned that you need to start with a great song first, the importance of storytelling with lyrics, groove, dance-ability, to not repeat yourself and to strive to create works that will have a lasting impact."
- Anthony and Steven
