Montasia Breathe New Life Into A 1966 Hit With New Single
Longtime friends and music partners Chris Emerson and Donald Poole are making waves as the EDM duo Montasia with their genre-fusing signature style that has critics and fans alike raving, especially over their latest single, “Sunny.”
For those thinking “Sunny” sounds a little familiar, that’s because it was a hit a Billboard hit back in 1966. Montasia wanted to bring the song into the 21st century. So they gave it a Montasia modern makeover! Perhaps the 2019 version of “Sunny” will find its way onto the Billboard Chart once again. It wouldn’t be the first time Montasia had a hit on their hands. Chris Emerson found himself with a Billboard smash with “All Because of You” in recent years.
Emerson has always been a musical maestro. A singer, songwriter, and producer, he met hip hop producer Donald Poole when they were both students at Berklee College of Music. Each growing up with a myriad of influences, when they began to work together, it was apparent they’d have a base sound in EDM, but were going to layer on their own notes with hints of pop, emo rap, reggae, and even alternative into the mix.
