This week’s featured artist/songwriter, Phil Kershaw is from beautiful British Columbia, Canada. Together Phil and I have produced 3 songs. I always enjoy Phil’s positivity and trust in our team to take his songs from a very basic guitar/vocal demo stage and transform them into soulful soundscapes with our talented session musicians and vocalists. For this song, “The Bells”, we wanted to have a more Contemporary Christian approach with some undertones of soulful gospel elements. We chose to go with… [Read More]
Peter Fegredo is a UK based songwriter whom I’ve had the pleasure of collaborating on 4 full productions within the past 4 years. Each song having it’s own unique style and direction. This latest project, Peter approached me and asked if my team was up to the challenge of creating a reggaeton/pop inspired track infusing elements of hip hop programming and Latin instrumentation. Something commercial and with a beat and production that makes you want to move. Of course, my answer is… [Read More]
Susan Odella is a Minnesota-based song-writer who truly recognizes the importance of strong song-writing, radio-ready production, and pitch strategy. Her process generally involves assessing the types of songs in market demand and working with the StudioPros team to help turn her rough demos into polished, marketable productions to be pitched for licensing opportunities. I’m excited to share her new tune, “Shine”, which has evolved immensely from its demo stage to final master. This is an incredible example of how creative arrangement and… [Read More]
This month’s featured artist, Different Moon (founded by songwriter Jim Piper) is someone I’ve had the pleasure of producing 13 full productions with over the course of the past year. Each song uniquely crafted, I have seen him evolve as a songwriter as well as a co-producer to help me communicate ideas to the session musicians. This last song, Hero, is my favorite and I had to share. The production starts as a pop rock track and then unfolds with… [Read More]
Logan Myers is a young budding singer/songwriter with a very bright future. At just 17 years old and about to enter her senior year of high school, Logan is just at the start of her songwriting and recording career. I’ve always enjoyed working with up and coming artists with such promise and their whole future ahead of them. We have collaborated on 2 projects to date and we are now at the starting phases of production number 3. Logan’s sweet yet quietly powerful… [Read More]
This month’s featured artist, Glenn Hammerstad is a Norwegian based songwriter that I have been collaborating with for the past 3 years. Collaborating overseas with artists such as Glenn always amazes me. Aw, the wonders of the internet and technology! Glenn has gone through the StudioPros production process on 12 projects. The first 8 were a more pop/adult contemporary style production and the past 4 have been remixes of those songs into a more modern EDM style. It’s been really fun taking the more traditional… [Read More]
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]
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]
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]
Ronnie Roseman is one of the most interesting and unique songwriting clients I have ever worked with. He originally contacted me back in June of 2013 and since then we have been collaborating on transforming his song ideas into a fully produced, radio ready production. I was impressed with Roseman’s melodies and lyrics of his song “My Baby Don’t Care”. We started the process by him just singing the melody of the song and providing the lyrics. From there, I… [Read More]
