An opportunity presented itself in the winter of 2016 that changed everything. He decided to return to his roots and main love and began performing music again, while continuing to produce films.
From Baratta’s lips, “I’m telling you, I’m in heaven. I just want to keep it going. A light has gone off in my head and the music seems clearer and fresher than ever.”
