After 5 years n the Philippine Music Industry - including 4 releases with MCA Music Inc., chart topping singles, nationwide touring, a 2 year stint on mainstream television and opening for Kelly Clarkson at the Araneta Coliseum - Miguel Escueta and co. are now on the cusp of the global music scene.

As "the Morning Episodes," Escueta and the rest of his band (Juni Devecais, Roy Secillano and Jeng Tria) have just signed up with Sly Doggie Productions, a Los Angeles baed company headed by Grammy Nominated producer Christian “Davis” Stalnecker and Music A&R Executive Bernard Baur. Working directly with record labels like Interscope, Geffen and EMI,  Stalnecker  co-produced and co-wrote El de Barge's latest album, which was nominated  for R&B Album of the Year at the recently concluded  2012  Grammy Awards. Baur, on the other hand, has done marketing and promotional work for artists such as Guns ‘N Roses, Nickelback, Dishwalla, Puff Daddy and Matchbox 20. He has also appeared in half a dozen music documentaries, and several VH1, MTV and CNN specials  

"the Morning Episodes"  have just finished recording what is to be their first international  album  (Never Felt So Alive), which was mixed and mastered in  Los Angeles  by  Stalnecker and his team.  The album will be distributed digitally in  the  U.S., U.K., Europe and  Asia via the Isolation Network - the same platform used by Universal Music International for their global music distribution. The band is set to be featured in the September 2012 issue of Music Connection Magazine, a nationwide publication in the U.S.

A local release of the upcoming album will be done through MCA Music Inc. in cooperation with Deca Homes, AudioTechnica and VANS.
