Collaborations are determined to echo through time with their style, and that effort of musical composition should only be applauded.
Outstanding tracks like 'Running Out Of Tomorrows', 'Ready For Love' and 'Don't You See' show an incredible foundation for Collaborations, with the tracks going down extremely well globally, they show you their incredible and potential capability. It’s simple proof of their musical skill.
Managed and produced by Vic Steffens (Owner of Horizon Studios), under the masterful orchestration of Matt Oestreicher, Collaborations is a revival and celebration of music with a soul, crafted with a deep respect and wonder for the legendary craft of songwriting.
Collaborations is brought to life by a dedicated family of musicians and vocalists. Ed Daniels lays the foundation with music and the theme for the songs, while co-writers like Anais Preller, Suzanne Kiss, Heather Joseph, Sylvia Jones, Sheila Fabrizio, Bonnie Lee Panda and Alex Bach bring the theme to life while adding layers of emotion and depth with either their voices or lyrics. The harmonies are further enriched by Kevin Monroe’s direction of the backup vocals and Devotion's talents, creating a rich and evocative sound. The recording sessions, held at Horizon Music Studios in West Haven, CT, are overseen and produced by Vic Steffens with co-producer Matt Oestreicher, who also handles the orchestrations. Featuring notable award-winning musicians such as Bobby Torello, Scott Spray, Al Ferrante, Jon Peckman, Tim DeHuff, Bill Holloman and Dave Eggar on strings, Collaborations brings each piece to life with skill and passion.

The journey to their highly anticipated new single ‘You Gotta Know’!
I (Ed Daniels) came up with a basic melody line, Rhythm guitar, and hook / theme of the song. I then gave it to my team members (Anais Preller, Matt Oestriecher) to complete the lyrics and orchestrate the song. Then we brought the rest of the team into the studio, including the choir, to record the song under our award-winning producer (Vic Steffens).
‘You Gotta Know’ is an inspirational song about asking why things are the way they are and what can we do to change them.
It’s time to get on board, and get involved, because Collaborations are here to stay!
