Slau is a New York City-based singer\/songwriter and producer. During his teenage years, he developed his performance skills as a multi-instrumentalist while performing with various folk ensembles and dance bands. His reputation as a versatile musician led to an early career as a session musician for television scores as well as commercial jingles and underscores.\r\n\r\nSlau's songwriting has been recognized by Musician Magazine where he was a semi-finalist in the Best Unsigned Band Contest and the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) Songwriters Workshop. He's been a featured performer at the Songwriters Hall of Fame Showcase and has been a regular contributor to the New York City Songwriters Circle and The Bitter End.\r\n\r\nIn 2005, the new media world of podcasting rallied behind one of Slau's tunes entitled If Every Day Were Christmas, a song co-written with Orlando Pagan. Former MTV VJ, Adam Curry, heard the song, played it on his podcast, The Daily Source Code and came up with the idea of a We Are the World-type benefit. Over 50 artists from 9 countries took part in Podsafe for Peace, a benefit song for UNICEF produced by Slau. It remains in the Top 10 most played songs in the podcasting world and has been played on satellite and terrestrial radio including Sirius, XM, BBC, CBC and Westwood One.\r\n\r\nCurrently, Slau is working on a follow up to The Weight of Words, his 2001 debut album. The new album is scheduled for release in the spring of 2008.\r\n\r\n\r\nNews:\r\n\r\nTake The Focusrite Liquid Mix Challenge\r\n\r\nSpecial Offer On McDSP's Analog Channel Native\r\n\r\nSpectrasonics Releases Stylus RMX Xpanded\r\n\r\nInside The 100-Foot Piano\r\n\r\nBeta Monkey Releases Drum Werks XI: Uptempo Rock Collection\r\n\r\nThe Music Player Network\r\n\r\nThe Legacy Recordings Podcast\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nCrosstalk:\r\n\r\nMike's in Cabo!
