Bascom Hill is riding a wave of advance acclaim for their self-titled release (out Sept 7 on Arrival Records) and will be featured in the new webisode series, “Crash Course To Stardom” (CCTS), debuting Aug. 9 at TheCelebrityCafe.com.
CCTS is a one week “boot camp,” produced by music industry veterans Jonnie Forster, Jonathan McHugh, and Jonathan Platt, designed to prepare today’s wannabes for becoming tomorrow’s somebody’s. After attending Bascom Hill’s performance at last year’s Summerfest, the producers whisked the band away to Los Angeles for an intense weeklong adventure in preparing for the big time. The band worked tirelessly for the duration, meeting with producers (Matt Wallace), writers (Mitch Allan), stylists, stage coaches, fitness trainers, hair stylists, choreographers, and others to prepare for their big moment. |

Matt Wallace to record a refined version of their single, “My
World”. Wallace is no stranger to the confined walls of a
recording studio and has become a staple name in the music and
recording industry. He started out playing in bands at the age of
13 years old. It did not take him long to find out that his desire
to capture the music and to impress friends was so appealing, that
he learned how to record music. Eventually, after being asked by
other bands for his help, he started learning how to become a
producer. Over the course of his lengthy history in the music
business, Wallace has worked with; Faith No More, Maroon 5, Train,
