Backstory: How NY's Sugar Bar Gave Birth To MarilynMusic's "IMA B A Celebrity"

MusicDish's Eric de Fontenay sat down with MarilynMusic founders Michael Gaines and Casey Conrad to discuss the story behind their latest song "IMA B A Celebrity." Taking a page from the expression coined by the Black Eyed Peas, they describe as poignant, satirical, and fun, but also a really great pop tune featuring vocalist Wallace Gary.
Casey & Michael met Wallace at the Sugar Bar, a venue owned by the legendary singer/songwriter team Ashford & Simpson one Thursday night while searching to replace a singer for the song. Casey notes "we needed someone with more chops and more power." Wallace, who has sung backup for Ashford & Simpson, Chaka Khan, and others, was performing that night... the rest was musical history.
When asked what their songwriting approach is, Casey states that "there really is no one approach to songwriting. Some songs are written instantly, while other songs take weeks or even longer to evolve. Each song defines its own set of circumstances and requires its own approach in the end."
"IMA B A Celebrity" is the first MarilynMusic single to be released in conjunction with a music video. "Wallace is a very visual guy with respect to fashion and entertainment, and his persona stands on its own," says Michael. "The video reflects that as well as the message of the song."
"IMA B A CELEBRITY" is available for purchase at iTunes at:

and at Amazon.com at:
