Tim Tim Tye is a client that I have worked with for the past 5 years, producing over an album’s worth of material. I just had to share one of our latest collaborations, “Retail at Christmas.” When Tim approached me with this song, I was excited to work on a more comical song for the holidays. A lot of us get overwhelmed this time of year and, let’s be honest, not everything is always fairy dust and smiles. “Retail at Christmas”… [Read More]

Mr. Stinky is reggae/rap artist based out of Kansas City, Missouri. Born and raised in the States, you can still hear where Mr. Stinky’s roots come from as his father is from Saint Catherine, Jamaica.

To capture a smooth jazz feel, we started out the production with our saxophonist taking a lead solo to kick start the production and set the tone for the piece. What follows… [Read More]

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]

The StudioPros talented session musicians took care of that for her. We went through our Step by Step Music production process by taking her lyrics and writing a custom chord… [Read More]
