Amazing vocalist shocks a group of musicians in the studio...

This video shows the creation process for guitarist Bobby Pittman's documentary theme song 'Holding On.' This is a track made mainly as an instrumental music bed for a documentary featuring some street gymnasts that do incredible, acrobatic routines on monkey bars. It was an 'on-the-fly' collaboration, and the vocalist (Susie Liufau) came in at the last minute blew everyone's mind!

[@jennynroger1]

She has a beautiful voice and she should sing the whole song. I love it. I teared up and wanted more.

Yes. That undiscovered talent was just a little nervous, and just needed some meaningful coaching with the right mentor.

[@amapparatistkwabena]

Beautiful voice. It's always great to work with skilled, gifted and talented musicians in the studio. My magic happens "before" the studio because that's just how I'm wired. I know what I want. It's a bit stressful to collaborate once we're actually in the studio as it eats up time and wastes money, but when you own the studio: carry on!

[@failuremagnet]

With deep and meaningful lyrics like that, how could this miss? It speaks to all generations who are, you know, holding on, over the abyss of a vapid synth drone...

[@Rofindustries]

This was an EPIC read!! I can only imagine the half smile you had, as you typed this while clutching your thesaurus. I am happy you chose to delete your other comment calling everyone here stupid. That’s just not nice at all, and I’m sure you can imagine all the hurt feelings 😂😂😂 We’ll consider our ‘failure’ managed! 😂😂😂

[@failuremagnet]

I didn't choose to delete anything. If the comment is gone, you did it. So don't hide behind your censorship, like all other tin-pot dictators. And I didn't call everyone there stupid - until now. Btw, if you thought I needed a thesaurus (or a half smile) to write a simple sentence, it explains why your music is so pointless and ordinary. If you can't take the truth, you're in the wrong business. And the second part of my screen name is MAGNET, so even your pun is a failure.
