I’ve written and produced a lot of music, and when I’ve written and produced a track as a gift, I’ve always been amazed at the staying power that gift has. People might eventually stop looking at something on the wall, or an object in the house might eventually become “part of the furniture”. But a song is something that really engages the recipient; I find them still playing it many years later, in the car, maybe, or at home when they’re alone. I consider myself a “weeper”; someone who really loves to put on a poignant piece of music and feel with it. And I put that sort of emotional impact into the music I make. Always.
I started this service to help people who have something they’d like to say not just once, but again and again, compounded by the power of music and a great melody, achieve that dream. Our process starts with your input: do you write lyrics? Have a favorite poem or passage from a book or something that, for example, was used in your wedding ceremony? Grandma’s favorite song? A tune that was playing when you first fell in love? Or would you simply like to have an out-of-the-park home-run version of an existing song with you or a loved one singing it, for an audition, a gift, or as the start to a larger project? Whatever you give me, I’ll fill in whatever the track needs, guide you through recording anything you might want to record on your end (vocals, an instrument you play, some spoken word, perhaps?), make sure that it sounds terrific on the song (I’ve done a LOT of vocal work and I can assure you you’ll sound great!), produce a rich, professional track and mix it for maximum depth and impact. Take a listen to the examples on this website for an idea of the kinds of things I can do for you.
I’ve done a huge array of different tracks during my career, everything from jazz to classical to reggae to R & B, and pride myself on always hitting the mark. Whatever you’d like to provide, be it original lyrics (with or without an idea for a melody), a well-worn chestnut of a tune, an instrumental version of a classic song, we will create the perfect track together!
