Ariana Grande & David Foster’s Music Director: Behind the Music with Troy Laureta | Sweet or Savory with Alyssa & AJ

What if we told you that behind some of the greatest musicians in the world is a Filipino music director?

This week, we’re joined by the incredibly talented Troy Laureta: musical director, arranger, producer, and musician for some of the biggest names in the business — from Ariana Grande, David Foster, Katy Perry, and Andrea Bocelli to Filipino icons like Regine Velasquez.

Troy shares his journey as a Filipino American artist, including how his whole family moved from Hawaii to California to pursue the Hollywood dream. He opens up about what it’s really like working at the highest levels of the music industry, how his heritage continues to inspire his work, and the journey of embracing his identity and truly finding himself in his 30s.

We also dive into the creative process behind arranging and producing, the unforgettable moments from his career, and his new album Harana: The Sound of Us — a heartfelt tribute to Filipino music (featuring AJ!).
