It's been a while in the making but our NEW music video "Reality" hit the airwaves last weekend and has already eclipsed 1K views in that short time. Featuring Melbourne's own Alinta Burnell backed by Melbourne Contemporary Choir - this anthem is set to be a regular on your playlist. Penned and arranged by long term collaborator of the choir Jared Haschek - originally written for The Australian Open, Reality found its legs with the MCCHOIR and has quickly become a favourite to perform.  All of the charts, backing tacks, string arrangements and vocal demos can be purchased at the mcchoir shop so you can perform the song with your vocal ensemble, choir or band. Watch the music video here:

Shot on location at the Monsalvat Artist Community in Eltham, Melbourne Australia - this stunning location brings the music alive in a new way. Featuring some of Melbourne's top musicians the track was produced by Jared Haschek and recorded at The Base recording Studios. and engineerd by Aria award winning engineer Phil Threlfal. The video was recorded and edited by Scott McClimont at jucmedia and directed by our very own Adam Newton.
