I made an ORCHESTRA for T-Pain

Last year I surprised a Tiktoker, ‪@MaceAhWindu‬, with an online orchestra. This year, ‪@nappyboyentertainment‬ reached out to me and asked if I wanted to surprise T-Pain with an orchestral cover of his new song, "On This Hill." What resulted was the biggest musical project of my life. I called on 40 musicians, all friends I made making music during lockdown, and they gave it their all. T-Pain, I hope you like it!
