Recording artist Dalton Cyr announced today that he is working with music producer Paul Fox to record new music in Los Angeles this April. Cyr is currently writing new songs and working with Fox long distance on the material he will record for his new CD (release date TBA.)
Just 12 years old, Cyr wrote, recorded and released his debut album, “I’ll Be There” in August 2012 and has been gaining popularity worldwide with fans in 149 countries, more than a million views on his YouTube channel, and a fan base that call themselves “Daltonators” and “Cyrious Fans.”
Recognized as one of the most successful and creative producers in the music industry, Paul Fox has a vast number of production credits including REM, 10,ooo Maniacs, Rod Stewart, Ziggy Marley, Phish, The Wallflowers, XTC, and many more. Known for searching for the “next big thing”, Fox was introduced to Cyr through one of Cyr’s managers, Beth Broday, one of the original MTV producers in November 2012. Fox says after doing a quick look he realized that Cyr, “Was no flash in the pan, but something to watch carefully!” After reviewing videos and Cyr’s album and doing further research, Fox says, “I discovered that he had written some great pop songs and ballads, and it was then that I realized that this was something for me to keep an eye on for sure.” Fox says both Cyr and his parents are “amazingly dedicated” and added “that’s what it takes these days.” He continues, “But, what really got me were and are, his songs.” Fox who has already received several new songs from Cyr says, “Already he has stepped up to a new level, and I can only imagine what it will be like, when we actually start working on more songs, as we begin his journey.”
Beginning mid-April, Cyr will spend a solid two weeks in L.A. working with Fox and also with some top notch musicians including drummer Josh Freese, whose been repeatedly hailed as the “Bruce Lee of drums” and recorded on 300 albums with artists ranging from Sting to Guns and Roses to Avril Lavigne to The Dixie Chicks.
