Sunset Marquis Hollywood - June 27, 2014

[Miguel]

Live@SunsetMarquis features rising stars in the music scene for intimate performances at the Sunset Marquis’ Villa Pool Deck. The event features appetizers and cocktails in addition to the entertainment, which is carefully curated by our friends in the industry. Live@SunsetMarquis is invite only, but all guests at the Sunset Marquis are welcome to attend.

This week’s lineup is presented by SOCAN, the Society of Composers, Authors, and Music Publishers of Canada, and features three Canadian acts.

I believe Chad, the former creative director at Ole, now runs SOCAN in LA.

Sounds like Haley and Casey attended this event with Mark Ballas and BC Jean and may have performed afterwards.

Thank u @BCJean @MarkBallas @AmieWho @JCChasez + 2 the after party entertainment @CherylBurke @HaleyReinhart @CaseyBassy that was special.

Stephan Moccio is a Canadian pianist, composer, producer, arranger, conductor and recording artist. He co-wrote Miley Cyrus' single Wrecking Ball. He also co-wrote Celine Dion's 2002 hit "A New Day Has Come" with Aldo Nova, which reached and held the number one spot on the Billboard AC Chart for a record breaking 21 weeks.

Miley Cyrus’s ‘Wrecking Ball’ a career builder for Toronto’s Stephan Moccio

He couldn’t have asked for a better calling card.

Six days after songwriter and composer Stephan Moccio relocated his family from Toronto to Los Angeles, he was enjoying a No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100: “Wrecking Ball"...

...Moccio, 40, who co-wrote the number last year with fellow scribes Sacha Skarbek (James Blunt’s “You’re Beautiful”), Maureen “MoZella” McDonald, Lukasz “Dr. Luke” Gottwald (Kelly Clarkson’s “Since U Been Gone”) and fellow Torontonian expat Henry Russell “Cirkut” Walter (Katy Perry’s “Roar), said he’s been barely able to catch his breath since his latest stroke of fortune.

“My head is spinning right now,” Moccio admits. “Moving down here, the whole game has changed for me overnight. When you have a No. 1 song, the phone is literally ringing non-stop.”

... I decided to take some time off after ‘A New Day,’” he says breathlessly over the phone, calling ahead of schedule due to a number of pressing meetings, including one with producer DJ Khalil (Eminem).

...“This time I’ve decided to literally strike while the iron’s hot, because you don’t get these opportunities handed to you the way Miley’s ‘Wrecking Ball’ has come.

“They’re the big ones.”

And boy is the iron hot: Moccio says “the world’s biggest artists” have already contacted him and that each one of them “is saying, ‘I want a song from you.’”

“I’m struggling with which road to take, because I physically don’t have the time to appease everybody,” says Moccio, who says his L.A. move was necessitated in part by demand, in part by the easy accessibility to recording artists and in part by a desire to establish himself as a film composer.

“The relationship aspect is so key,” he explains. “Right now, because of ‘Wrecking Ball,’ people are saying, ‘We want you in a room with so-and-so next week,’ and I’m thinking, ‘Oh my God, that wouldn’t have been possible had I been anywhere else in the world.’”

...“I’m literally booked for the next five or six months, project after project.”

‏@setsuofromjapan = Ben Ezaki. Wasn't he at the song camp in Greece?

It looks like this event was full of aspiring singers / songwriters (now doing the post after party polite tweeting).

[Miguel]

Ben is a young guy who was at the Greece songwriting camp organized by Chad. Ole signed him afterwards. Six months ago or so he/someone tweeted images of him working on some recording with Haley (in his home).

I wonder if Haley and Casey's invite to the party came from BC Jean or Chad.

Since this is SOCAN's event, my guess is that Haley's connection w/ Chad might've been what led to Mark & BC performing at the event.

Of course, that's without knowing whether or not Mark &/or BC have any other connections to SOCAN.
