THE OCEAN WAY SESSIONS
Billy Mac at Ocean Way Nashville—one of the nation’s best recording studios. Along with Co-Producer Donny Marrow, Engineer Austin Atwood and Musical Director Kevin Madill, Billy recorded more than 20 new songs.
This marvelous space is where Preston Glass creates his music – music that exemplifies why he is sought out by some of the most respected names in the business and why he has such an impressive track record of hit projects. Mentored by Hall of Fame producer/arranger/writer Thom Bell, Preston learned his lessons well and honed his craft in major studios with major artists across the country.

The pros sing Billy’s praises
Preston Glass Hit Songwriter (‘Who’s Zoomin’ Who?”) and Producer (Maurice White, The Spinners and countless more): “Billy Mac is one of the most ‘soulful’ singer/songwriters I know. I love the work we did together on artists like the SPINNERS and LITTLE ANTHONY – he also just happens to be a good person…”

He’s one of the most prolific writers I’ve known and is constantly coming up with modern classics plus his stellar performances have captivated audiences for years.”
