Glow by Lianne Kaye - Production Remix 2023 with I Am Winkle 
This is by far the best remix of this song I've listened to yet. It didn't feel like you were showing off your own skills but supporting her song and vocal performance. Excellent work! ~ @fIshonabike

​​Who Is "I Am Winkle?"

I Am Winkle, aka Mark Minassian, is a longtime Philadelphia-area musician and songwriter who strives not to be pigeon-holed into any one particular style or genre. Through the years, he has recorded rock, retro-pop, blues, folk, contemporary bluegrass, singer-songwriter and instrumental surf music, much of which is featured on this website. His musical journey began in the 1970s and continued into the 1980’s before he sold off most of his equipment, returned to school and then entered the corporate world. A successful career as a Technical Applications Manager for a small technology company allowed for an early retirement, which now gives him the time to reengage in his songwriting and recording. His nearly 30-year hiatus from performing, mimicking the lengthy sleep of Washington Irving’s character Rip Van Winkle, inspired his current nom du jour, I Am Winkle.
