HBO Documentary Films Presents Josh Groban: Sing Your Song A YoungArts Masterclass Our Coverage Sponsored by Paul Mayer Attitudes
Paul Mayer's luxuriously, comfortable designs keep women coming back for
multiple -- even dozens -- of pairs. Classic, yet contemporary and always
comfortable, his shoes are an addiction that we highly recommend. A
staple of the Paul Mayer collection is the simple ballet-flat, with true
ballerina construction for a perfect fit that comes in a variety of colors and
materials. A cult favorite is the cozy, a flat with lavender-scent infused
soles adding style and fragrance to collector's closets as Paul's designs
emerge in sophisticated design incarnations season after season in the most
incredible hues, textures and modern innovations in luxury footwear because we
know firsthand how incredibly brilliant he is. Mayer founded the brand in
2004 with partner, Jeff Levy. All shoes in the line are manufactured in Spain’s
Valencia region, along the Mediterranean coast by a skilled staff of 12
artisans. They craft each pair of shoes with an old-world attention to detail
that includes in-house embroidery, quilting and stitching as well as custom
tanned leather. This allows the brand to cater to each retailer’s specific
demands in with timely and consistent alacrity, with orders completed in an
unheard-of 3 to 5 weeks. In 2011, Paul Mayer stepped out into
Manhattan's Upper East Side with a new attitude, opening his flagship store at
1388 Third Avenue. The store which cleverly resembles a pink and black shoebox
offers up to 150 shoe styles, including his popular ballerinas, exclusive
designs and more. As an added bonus, shoppers have the chance of running into
the designer, himself. Paul's sage shopping advice and style eye has made him
the New York shoe lover's best kept secret. When not in New York, Paul can be
found traveling to his myriad of stores across the country meeting his loyal
clientele or vacationing in his favorite spot,
the Royal Hawaiian on Waikiki Beach.
In the Josh Groban: Sing Your Song A YoungArts Masterclass documentary exclusively on HBO, the concept of paying it forward is put into real live action brilliantly by the team of mentor and mentees. Crossing over from amateur to professional in any discipline is a coming of age, and when you are given the right direction it can make all the difference. Three young artists are given the chance to collaborate with Josh and this documentary chronicles their journey. It's a must for any aspiring musician or anyone that simply is interested in being inspired by personal growth.
We love the footage on the waterfront near the World Financial Center-a beautiful part of town. For fans of Groban, perhaps this film will present a side of him that you are not yet aware of. He makes keen, insightful observations like telling his mentees: "How do you allow the song to come from you rather than merely being presented by you?" to get them thinking and on the high road in their new project of writing a song together.
As the three young artists collaborate up against a deadline, you'll see how the organic process evolves with chord progression and relief once Josh hears it and likes it. We learn there's not one correct way to write a song, and we like how Groban believes less is more and that there's no need to overcomplicate things. You'll enjoy meeting and learning about Miranda, Elena and David and you'll love seeing what happens at Boston Garden at the end.
