Once i, sosa’s vocals come, the instrumental takes a back seat, but is still just as charming. i, sosa’s compelling vocals bring an r&b element to the track, which creates a calming atmosphere for the listener. “spinnin” is what one calls an “easy listening” song, as it is easy on the ears. Almost anyone will enjoy listening to it, no matter their genre preference.

Still, he took his talents to the next level, going to the prestigious university Carnegie Mellon in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. There, he joined the acapella group Treblemakers and stays in touch with them to this day. In fact, four members from Treblemakers are co-writers on “spinnin.”
