Nick Palmieri is one of the most genuine clients I have worked with. I’m listening to Jao Gilberto while writing this because that is what working with Nick reminds me of. He has a sense of calm when we collaborate that makes working together very easy. I have had the pleasure of producing 3 full productions so far and we’re in the midst of a 4th. The first 3 productions have been in Spanish, and Latin inspired in style and instrumentation. We… [Read More]
Congratulations to our client Francesco Biondi for his recent placement of “It’s Christmas Time Again” on the Hallmark Channel’s “Switched For Christmas” ! Seeing projects we have worked on being published in movies makes us smile! On this project, Franscesco utilized StudioPros vocalists to get professional session vocals on his recording. This is very important step when pitching your material to publishing companies.

I’ve never been good at Christmas cards. Every year I get these really well thought out Christmas cards sent in the mail from friends and family. This year, I thought, why not record a nice little Christmas cover song instead? I chose to do my unique version of John Lennon’s :”Happy Xmas (War is Over)”. I thought it was very relevant for this holiday season. I hope you enjoy! I’m wishing you all a very happy holiday season full of… [Read More]
This month’s featured artist Bill Tenis is someone I’ve grown to admire not only musically but as a person. Together, Bill, myself and the StudioPros team produced an album of 10 songs. All of this was done in secret as a gift for Bill’s wife Robin who was in the middle of cancer treatments throughout the production process. Juggling his personal life and Robin’s treatments, Bill tirelessly worked towards his dream of completing this album. This was the most thoughtful… [Read More]
For the better part of 2015 I have been helping Lian Pham, a theater directer of The Moonlight Dolls based out of Houston, TX. We have re-created old jazz and Dixieland songs with small quartet arrangements, and full jazz band arrangements for use during their theatrical performances. The Moonlight Dolls are an entertainment troupe made up of dancers, singers, musicians, comedians and other uniquely gifted performers. The StudioPros’ production team has helped produce the majority of the musical productions for… [Read More]
Working from halfway across the world, Reign Lee used Studio Pros to record with world-class LA studio musicians from the the comfort of her own home. Playing across continents is hard work, but recording an album with musicians that are halfway across the globe is even harder. Unless you do what Hong Kong musician Reign Lee did: record with Studio Pros. Lee has no trouble finding musicians to back her up in the many countries where she gigs, but when… [Read More]
Ricardo Monteiro is the voice and songwriter behind the solo project “Screaming Culture”. Based out of London, we have recently collaborated online with Screaming Culture to finish the latest single “Numb”. Blending the combination of live drums, alternative/rock guitars, ambient layers of keys, drum programming and bass, this song unfolds as the perfect support to his emotive vocals. The production captures the essence of the pain involved in the story being told of anxiety and the dissociative disorder. Not only have… [Read More]
Bill Simon, a prolific songwriter that I have been working with for over 2 years and counting, has just finished up a video with our new video editors here at StudioPros! Having produced over 40 songs with our music production team, Bill gave our video services a shot on his recent song “Where The Wild Horses Go”. This song ranks as one of the top 3 out of the songs we’ve worked on together as I love the acoustic instrumentation… [Read More]
This month’s featured artist, Veera Kaijanen, is an international touring performing artist who has spent past years with the top entertainment company, Cirque du Soleil. She specializes in hoola hoop dancing as her act as well as tight rope walking. The goal of this project, Revontulet, was to create an instrumental track that evokes the emotion in her audience to match her performance on stage with her hoola hoops. Obviously, these projects don’t pop up every day! Challenge accepted. Step… [Read More]
I always enjoy the process of working with young singer-songwriters because I always can see how much they learn throughout the production from start to finish and the promise in their futures is so bright. This month’s featured artist, Kaylee Keller is one of the most mature teenage girls I have ever met. Born and raised in Western Kansas (Garden City), Kaylee is just 16 years old and an upcoming junior in high school. She has already gotten 10 college… [Read More]
