Frequently asked questions
Did Liam really write these songs? Is he really eleven?
Yes. Liam was 12 during the recordings for
The World Wasn't Ready, and played more live instruments than ever before. Liam was really eleven during the recordings for
I Wrote This Album Tomorrow. And he was ten during the making of
Hunger Attack. Liam's dad Lex wrote the lyrics, and would hand those off to Liam, who would then put to music. Liam typically composes on the piano.
On the pages for each album, you can see more specifics about who wrote what.
What instruments does Liam play?
Liam plays the piano, the bass guitar, the saxophone, a little guitar, and the drums. Some instruments are MIDI-based,
played by Liam on the keyboard. Others are live instruments.
How did you technically make the album?
As per the above, Liam typically records from an electric piano or from instruments plugged into a digital interface that feed into GarageBand on an iPad. Then
we import the full GarageBand project into Logic Pro on a Mac. We record vocals using a couple different USB microphones, sometimes on the iPad,
sometimes on the Mac. We mix and master in Logic and Fission.
