The Earth In Unity

Angie Zawada is a Montreal based songwriter that I have had the pleasure of collaborating with since 2012. Together, we have completed 5 projects that range from full production to mixing and mastering. This particular project “To Gaia’s Freedom” was a project we helped finalize by taking her raw stems and completing the final touch of mixing and mastering with our StudioPros engineer. When Angie contacted me a few weeks ago, I knew that the material she would be sending… [Read More]

Communicating With Session Musicians

Communication. The root of a lot of sessions that go wrong as well as relationships in general not working out comes down to this word COMMUNICATION. After years of working on productions in all styles, languages with different personalities, I thought I’d throw together a quick blog on what I have seen WORKS. Keep it short. Musicians in general don’t like to read. I have seen clients write paragraphs upon paragraphs of changes that they’d like to have made. What… [Read More]

Decisions such as: What… [Read More]

This month’s featured artist is a New Mexico based preacher, performer and recording artist Eddie B. I call him the “modern day Johnny Cash” as his mission for music and performing has a similar tone to Cash’s performances at Folsom Prison. Eddie has been using his original music to reach individuals who are in prison and preach his message to change lives for those behind bars. He frequents approximately 450 prisons in a year performing his music to inmates offering… [Read More]

This month’s featured songwriter, Irben Jeter, spends the majority of his time on the road as a coach operator. Along with that comes a lot of time to reflect and write melodies and songs. Jeter first started collaborating with the StudioPros team in 2013 and since then we have produced 8 full songs together. His strength is writing infectious melodies and lyrics. He records his melodic ideas into his phone and sends them over to me via email. From there,… [Read More]
