With access to so many amazing acts, HighBreedMusic is helping to expand their reach by adding them to our new Video Series. The staged, single camera videos of artists’ latest singles, or simply moments of impromptu inspiration, are built to instantaneously garner new fans and gain momentum for the best of HighBreedMusic talent so far.

Last nite HBM welcomed Mariella, the co-host of the renowned Freestyle Mondays in Manhattan. Her magnetic vocals set the tone for the shoot and made for a great short we’ll be posting soon.
As always, adieu for now- great music calls..!

The music world has lost a wonderful pioneer today with the death of Soul Train host, Don Cornelius. His contribution to both black music and media made it possible for early modern soul to be broadcast to mainstream America and led to Soul Train’s influence on many popular artists to come.
Here at HighBreedMusic we’d like to wish Don Cornelius Love, Peace, and Soul as he enters rest.

We recently shot this music video for the lovely Melanie Charles. Featuring Calvin Brown on keys (rhodes), watch Melanie’s mesmerizing performance of her new song “Pat Yo Afro”
So, when we say The Breeding Ground is a full-service recording lounge, we mean it. The space doubles as the practice home for HighBreedMusic’s own Improv House Group, The High Breed Approach. This well-versed 3-piece rhythm section is comprised of rotating virtuosos Alex “That Dude” Busby Smith (Bass), Bob “Bobby Pocket” Edinger (Drums), and Tariq Khan (Vocals). We couldn’t be more thrilled to see the guys in action as they begin their February rehearsal schedule for a host of exciting events to come..!

Tonight, we’ve spent Sunday evening capturing the traditional Jazz stylings of trumpeter Carlos Redman. Needless to say, the doors of HighBreedMusic are swinging..!

After last night’s show, the Curtis MacDonald Group definitely made their mark on The Breeding Ground..! Their high level of skill and musical expression brought a new sonic experience to the stage. We’re looking forward to their footage, especially the shots from the GoPro Camera mounted high on Chris Tordini’s Upright Bass. Down to the smallest production details, here at HighBreedMusic we don’t only musically innovate, we expand the boundaries of live entertainment. Stay tuned..!
