| 50 Kids! One Black Eyed Peas Song! And Five Hours! On Saturday May 1st 2010 The Soundscape Recording Studio was swarming with young talented singers as we began our session with a live "choir like" recording of a popular Black Eyed Peas track, "I Gotta Feeling". We spent the duration of the afternoon recording each of the kids, one by one ,singing a few lines of the song on their own until the track was complete and the speakers were rumbling! It was a blast! But I've got to be honest with you... I didn't think we could fit that many bodies in the live room! We are currently in the process of mixing and mastering this Monstrous Rendition!

held their illuminated cell phones high above their heads while
hanging on every lyric! The full show consisted of two sets, the first
being more mellow giving his fans a nice warm up. His second set
was quite a bit more up tempo including renditions of John
Mellencamp's "Small Town" and the popular "Live Like We're Dying"
by Kris Allen. Nice Job Sean! "Paradise" has arrived!
