One-man acappella? Has he gone too far?
Every drum, bass, and hooty hoot on this completely original, entirely acappella release was created vocally by Scott Leonard.
You won't believe your ears.

1MAN 1MIKE gives new meaning to the term 'solo album.' Literally every sound on the record, from drums to bass to hooty hoot was created vocally by 1 man (Leonard) on 1 microphone (Shure KSM44). Says Leonard, "With today's technology, all it takes is time and imagination. A "pop" becomes a deep kick drum, a fingersnap becomes a gunshot, and a girly-voiced boy like me can pretend to be Barry White."

1MAN 1MIKE is perhaps a natural progression of his work with Rockapella, stars of the PBS show "Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?". As the group's arranger, songwriter, and producer, Leonard has recorded 15 records and created 100 acappella arrangements. "When I write and arrange for Rockapella, I actually record all the parts, and then send each guy his part to learn, so this is just taking that concept to the extreme and then exploding it psychedelically on steroids."

Not only did Leonard sing every sound on every song, he recorded and mixed 1MAN 1MIKE as well. Said Leonard, "This is definitely taking the concept of self-expression too far." Asked to describe the recording process for this unusual project, Leonard replied, "Lonely. Very Lonely." But, he adds, "It's kind of an interesting contrast to the hyper-fraternal experience of touring with Rockapella."
