Take your song to the next level.

Whether you have a fragment of a verse or a full song, we can work together to take it to the next stage: a rough demo track, a fully developed demo, or even a distribution-ready track.

  • Have a solid verse and chorus, but need to write that elusive “middle eight” or rework your hook?

  • Sitting on a complete song and want to commit it to tape (well, digital “tape”)?

  • Want to build up additional production (keyboards, guitars, bass, drums, percussion, background vocals, effects) around a song?

  • Want your song tracked, produced, mixed, mastered, and distribution-ready?

  • Need to do all of the above?

I’m here to help, and you’re in charge. I’m passionate about working with songwriters and happy to provide as much or as little creative support as artists want - along with plenty of logistical and technical support - to help you take your tracks to the next level.

Come on over, the amps are warm.

Services

♩ Writing Support - Come with a fragment or a piece that’s 90% of the way there. Either way, we can get it studio-ready.

♩ Tracking - Time to lay down some tracks - vocals, guitars, keys, bass, drums? Let’s go! I’ll have everything taken care of so you can focus on the performance.

♩ Additional Production - Have some chords and a melody? Let’s build it up: assemble reference tracks, determine the “vibe”, and add layers that help the song shine.

♩ Mixing & Mastering - Once we’ve got our writing, recording, and production taken care of, it’s time to dial-in a final mix and prepare your track for distribution.
