The album was recorded at Fabrizio's Sotti Studios in NYC and mixed at Piety Studios in New Orleans by legendary engineer John Fishback, while Sotti produced and arranged all of the songs on the album.
Right Now was inspired by Sotti's diverse musical background, and a range of his musical inspirations. The album features reinterpretations of Pink Floyd's "The Wall," Jimi Hendrix's “The Wind Cries Mary,” and Bob Marley's “Waitin’ in Vain” alongside Sotti's own songs and compositions.[2][3]
