Behind the Scenes

What was it like recording at and filming in Abbey Road Studios, in particular Studio 2? Just as inspiring and awe-inspiring as you would imagine. It was one of those days I will remember for the rest of my life. Our recording session went off nearly flawlessly with the crew, our composer Alessandro, the group of London musicians and the engineering team of Abbey Road coming together (most having met for the very first time) to create musical magic! – Kathy

Where to watch

“Music is my life, so being here, recording my music with these musicians in this temple of music, for me, it’s a dream. Incredible”

– Alessandro Roveri
