​​It all begins with your song(s), conversations, and dreaming together.  Before getting into any production, I would like to know your goals and hopes for your music.  I don't dive into just any production.  I spend hours listening through songs first before ever hitting the record button.  I want to make sure we have the best songs that are cohesive for your project, understand the audience you want to reach, and help plan for your short term / long term goals.

​

As I said earlier, I spend a lot of time listening through songs.  I will help co-write on songs I am producing for artists / groups as we are in the pre-production phase.  At times, I will encourage the artist / group to do songwriting sessions with professional songwriters here in Nashville.  It is something I can help arrange.

​

I see music from a visionary viewpoint.  What will the sound be?  How will the song(s) speak to the audience?  Who is the audience?  Visually, how do you, as an artist / group, want to be represented?  I spend time building relationships and encouraging the artists / groups that I pour into.  If I know people that can help further the vision / goals... I will make introductions and connections.  I have connected my artists / groups with trusted graphic designers, photographers, and videographers.  Because we are in such a media driven world, "the visual" aspect of the music is just as important as "the sound" of the music.

 

My production costs vary from project to project.  The cost of production projects are definitely discussed up front.  My producer advance is typically an "all-in" approach that encompasses pre-production & programming, session musician(s) (as needed), session vocalist(s) (as needed), final vocal tracking (vocal editing, vocal comping, & vocal tuning), general edits, studio rental + studio engineer costs, final mixing done by an industry notable mix engineer or the producer's choosing, and mastering done by an industry notable mastering engineer of the producer's choosing.  With the producer advance, I also cover my attorney's fees for contract origination and letter of direction. I have a trusted production team of industry professionals that I work with on a per project basis.  My overall goal is to best serve the song.

​

Still interested after reading all of this?  I know it can be a lot to take in, but I am happy to help walk with you as we navigate through it.  If you would like to at least begin conversations, simply fill out the contact form below.

​

I look forward to connecting with you!
