This month’s featured songwriting team is a California based father/son duo, Dion Brain and Chris Brain. Dion has produced 5 full productions with the StudioPros team over the past 9 years, but this is the first collaboration with his son Chris and our team. Under the guidance of their producer Craig Durrance, the team produced the song in a jazz direction. Our StudioPros guitarist beautifully executed hollow-body jazz guitar rhythm and lead, we added Latin-inspired live world percussion, upright bass,… [Read More]
Topic of the Day: Togetherness Bill Lathrop came to us with just a few simple lyrics and a small vision of what he had in mind for a song. He wanted to focus on what was going on in the world and provide a bridge to anyone feeling marginalized or oppressed, showing that we in fact have more in common than not. Thus, “God & Me” was created. We took his original lyrics, got them edited and polished up for… [Read More]
I always get excited when I get a new lead on a young talented artist looking to get their songs produced! I can hear the potential of a good song even in raw form. This is definitely one of those cases. This month’s featured artist is Texas based singer-songwriter, Kaitlyn Paige. Kaitlyn contacted us with a very well established demo in her case but just wanted to take the production from a “one man band” approach to a team of… [Read More]
In these precarious times, many of us are turning to music to cope with uncertainty and loss. James Dean Claitor is no stranger to the healing power of music. When I began working with James in the fall of 2019, he mentioned that he was undergoing painful cancer treatment, but when he created music he feels no pain. Since then we’ve worked on 17 songs together and counting! When James sent me the demo for Mercedes Man, I knew the song… [Read More]
How are you doing? Things are strange, unexpected and surreal. One thing that is keeping me going right now is the fact that I am still able to collaborate with my wonderful clients from across the globe. Collaborating online allows us to remotely and safely get projects done from the comfort of our studios. This latest project “How We Get Through” is for one of my long time favorites, The Cautious Arc. This production features the collaboration between the artist… [Read More]
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]

Stephen and I co-produced an album of 10 songs with StudioPros production team over the course of 5 years. The common theme of Stephen’s music is an acoustic based guitar foundation with additional live instrumentation including live drums, electric bass, additional auxiliary keyboard instruments (we had fun choosing between melotron, wurlitzer… [Read More]

Anthemic Earth-themed power ballad bursts forth to deliver an incredible message of unity. “From the sub-tropical coast of Queensland, Australia, it’s a tiring fourteen-hour haul to L.A. by Dreamliner, so when music producer Dom Williams assured me StudioPros could electronically reach every corner of the planet, I was hooked.” Meet John Lindsell, a budding songwriter making his way into the music industry one amazing song at a time. His doorway to songwriting opened up following a tragic event in his… [Read More]
