Englishman in New York | Sting (Mike Vitale Cover)
I originally covered this song on Youtube 13 years ago on a camera in a living room. It's my most popular video on Youtube with nearly 200,000 views—I'm also incredibly embarrassed of my performance in that video.
With that being said, I re-recorded this video today to show myself how much I've grown as a musician, recording and mixing engineer, and so forth.
I'm proud of all the work I have put into my craft in the years since recording "Englishman in New York" back in 2010. The comfort I feel in front of a camera now is amazing. 13 years ago, it was an entirely different experience than what it was today.
I am an enormous fan of Sting's work in both The Police, as well as his solo work, and this cover is me tipping my hat to his continued genius as a musician, songwriter, and performer.
