Shirley’s Temple
Ariana Grande is an expert in the studio, even outside her sweet spot of the recording booth … so claims her longtime collaborator Leon Thomas III!!!
Leon and Ariana starred on the Nickelodeon series “Victorious” together back in the day, and he recalled coaching the megastar singer during a recent sit-down on the “Shirley’s Temple” podcast.
Leon says he advised AG, early on, to learn the art of engineering her own music and swears he saw her grow into a master wizard at Pro Tools software.
Their still-developing creativity led them to make their own rendition of Drake and Rihanna‘s “Take Care” duet.
Leon says he was too mortified to let Drizzy hear, but AG didn’t sound half-bad — about as good as a rookie who was destined to sell more than 90 million records!!!
AG’s last album, “Positions,” (which Leon helped produce) was released in 2020, and it just may be time for her to fire up those studio skills again … now that the actors’ strike is in full swing.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
The SAG-AFTRA strike just shut down Ariana’s “Wicked” film production indefinitely … so she likely has extra time on her hands!!!
