DISCOGRAPHY
SERVICES
I wear a lot of hats. Not just literally with this sweet newsie cap but there are a lot of roles I have played in the process of helping artists get from an idea to a musical reality. Here is a breakdown of some of the major parts I can take on in the process and services I offer.
Producing
What is a producer? The answer for that has changed drastically over time so it can be a little confusing. But in my case a producer means someone who listens to your song and takes a creative role in arranging/recording all of the additional elements (other than your own parts) necessary to have a complete song. If I cannot play the parts myself, I help identify the right studio musicians and artists to work with to make your song the best it can be. I work to prepare all of these files with you for mixing.
Mixing
I use only your existing tracks to create a finished piece of music! From balancing levels to creating space, EQ, Compression, stereo widening, and so many more tools that can enhance your song from great to fantastic. I have 10+ years of experience communicating with artists and figuring out what they and their songs need and I can’t wait to work with you on yours!
Songwriting Session
I have been hired by labels and independent artists alike to help co-write or even just edit and rewrite a brilliant idea that needs some refinement.
