Today’s multi-platinum entertainer, songwriter, producer and humanitarian guest was a man on a mission when he signed his record deal with Reprise Records almost two decades ago. The Canadian artist has earned 4 Grammys, scores of Junos, critical acclaim and sold well over 60 million records. As a songwriter, some of his No. 1 smash hits include the now iconic “Home”, “Haven’t Met You Yet” and “Everything”. His 6 global tours have sold out in over 40 countries. Today’s guest has accomplished the unthinkable: a pop artist who is equally at home in the worlds of great standards, jazz, r&b, beautiful ballads, and can also swing like his musical heroes like Louis Prima and make it all work harmoniously. His 2011 holiday album, Christmas, went straight to No. 1, his third chart topper and the second biggest selling album of that year. It has continued its reign every year during the holidays and has to date sold well over 16 million copies around the world and has been streamed over 4 billion times – ten years following its initial release. He is a proud husband and a father to three beautiful children. Our guest is also deeply committed to supporting many charities including Children’s Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA) and BC Children’s Hospital (BCCH). The anticipation is rising as this artist is set to release his ninth studio album in early 2022. And The Writer Is… Michael Bublé!Artwork: Michael Richey White Hosted on Acast.

Today’s guest is the co-founder, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist for the American folk rock band, The Lumineers. On January 22nd of 2021, our guest released his highly anticipated solo debut album, Piano Piano. Releasing through Dualtone Records in the U.S. and Canada and Mercury KX for the rest of the world, Piano Piano is a collection of gorgeous, intimate piano-centric instrumental songs that Fraites has been working on for the better part of a decade. The profoundly revealing and emotionally direct songs capture Fraites’ reflective moments from his Denver home. His songwriting reaches into deeply personal spaces with moving grace and stark elegance, retaining the folk-inspired melodicism so familiar from his work in The Lumineers, transported into a more classically sophisticated setting. In addition to piano, Fraites plays nearly every instrument on the album, including guitar, drums, synths, and programming.
