BIG ANNOUNCEMENT! Development of my new musical film, BROTHERHOOD, is officially underway. Details in the video. I’ll be documenting the whole process of bringing the project to life here over the next few months. Hope you’ll follow along.

So excited to announce that our album with @onevoicechildrenschoir, A Voice for Love, is on this year’s Grammy ballot! Co-writing and producing these songs with members of the Choir was a special experience and one I’ll never forget. If you’re a member of the Recording Academy, we hope you’ll give us a listen and consider voting A Voice for Love for Best Children’s Music Album. If you’re not a member of the Academy, I hope you’ll give the album a listen anyway and get inspired by the powerful messages from these great kids. 🙏

I’m super excited today to announce my acceptance into the @recordingacademy as part of the New Member Class of 2024. (20-year-old me would be freaking out right now.) I’m thrilled to join this vibrant community that works year-round to recognize musical excellence (through the annual Grammy awards and other programs), mentor the rising generation of music creators, and advocate for music throughout the world. It’s a great day! #iamtheacademy

@brotherhoodmusical was and will continue to be one of the most meaningful projects I’ve had the privilege of being part of. A story about the realities immigrants face today, told through music, heart, and humanity.Designing the costumes felt especially full circle. Musicals are where I first fell in love with costume design, and getting to do it on film made this experience unforgettable.

Thank you @rossboothe for your trust and your heart and for giving us the space to tell this story. You are a true leader. Thank you @darentsmith for taking such good care of us. So grateful to our incredible cast, crew, producers, and collaborators for trusting, creating, and building something so special together. I truly felt at home these past few weeks. Thank you to my amazing costume team, I could not have done this without you. @audreynelson @gwennyswan @victorasandoval @doris_marquez_

This film will always hold a special place in my heart. I cannot wait for everyone to see it. ✨

Two weeks ago we were on set at this epic location in @downtownslc for our biggest production day with an incredible cast and crew. Salt Lake City welcomed us with open arms and made the day as smooth as possible. What a dream! Honestly…is there a better place to make a movie than UTAH?! Brotherhood: A Cinematic Musical is proud to be a #utahfilm. Specials thanks to @utahfilm @vpinslc and @derecimo for their support. #filmmaker #behindthescenes #moviemusical #utahfilmmakers

What you see on set vs what’s in the camera! Here’s a short clip from the opening sequence of @brotherhoodmusical. Huge shout out to our choreographer @alansalazar_, to @oakleythacker who’s front and center on this one, and to all our incredible dancers: @graydenharrison @madelinemihacevich @mckinley_heimuli @eldoson @alllyyy.jo @nicki_ouk_ @jeremyplatt97 @ambermorain12 @johnathan.tanner @kj.mills Thanks, as well, to @osacre for the frame and to @tenzinlaz for the epic firework lighting. 🎆🎇🧨 #utahfilm #moviemusical #behindthescenes #musicaltheater #danceonscreen

The last five weeks are a total blur, but I feel so grateful to our remarkable cast and team for all that we accomplished as we brought @brotherhoodmusical to life on camera. Special thanks to my brothers @martinezmau and @caseycelliott for bringing their whole hearts to the process. I can’t wait for you to see and feel their powerful performances. Thanks as well to @0hgaby @charlotte.r.hemmings @paulinacreyes @oakleythacker @codybobay and @alexmelecioofficial whose representations of these character are equally strong and heart filled. Thanks to you all. I’ll have more to say about each of you in the days ahead. Then, to our incredible team. Thank you to @osacre @alansalazar_ @fridaroliva @edurne_fdz and all the other professionals who brought their best work, heart, talent, and skill to this story. It was an honor to work with each of you. I can’t wait to tell the world more about your work and who you are. Finally, thank you to my brother @darentsmith and my sister @lili_bolanos4 for all their work and heart. I’m intensely grateful and excited about what we’re building on this film. There’s a lot more to come, everyone, and I’m so excited to share it with you! But for now, THAT’S A WRAP!!! #thatsawrap #utahfilm #behindthescenes #moviemusical #musicaltheater

I'll never be as cool as the day I sang with @emsnissen! 🙌🏻🤯

🎹 @rossboothe

What happens when your entire shooting day is in two bedrooms down one hallway? Bedlam. 🤣 #moviemusical #behindthescenes #musicaltheater #filmmakers
