Description: DESCRIPCIÓN DEL PRODUCTO
Jacob Kongaika, aka Cubworld, is a singer/songwriter born on the island of Tonga, brought up on Hawaii and currently a resident of Salt Lake City, Utah. While working as a baggage handler at the local airport he joined the brand new SellaBand website with a dream that one day he would be able to record his songs in a top New York studio with the best producers. To his amazement that dream started coming true within a couple of months, as in January 2007 he became the second artist to raise a $50,000 recording budget on SellaBand. He chose to work with Kevin Patrick and Kiyanu Kim of Brooklyn Noise Productions in New York City who had previously worked with Gwen Stefani, Jill Scott and Blondie. Preproduction for the album took place at Tony Bennetts Bennett Studios and the team of bassist James Cruz, drummers Anthony Johnson and Kevin Rice and backing vocalist Ben Jelen was assembled by the producers to transform Cubworlds solo home recordings into a well crafted album. The results were mastered by Grammy Award winner Vlado Meller. This resulting album is miles apart from the 'bathroom recordings' Cubworld uploaded to his SellaBand profile. The team managed to polish raw diamonds like "Lights Fade" and "My World" without compromising the artists purity. On most of the tracks Cubworld sounds like a mix between Jack Johnson and Coldplay with a little bit of Dave Mathews thrown in. But on some tracks like "Wise Words" we hear a different Cubworld. On this potential summer hit he blends Maori chants with a reggae beat topped with raps by New Zealand artist, and fellow SellaBander, Maitreya. Tracks: Rocked Out / Amsterdam / For Love / Lights Fade / Wise Words / You Make Me Feel / Start Over / This Is Life / My World / Who I Am.
