Ruth contacted me about producing one of her songs as sort of a vibey electro-pop reggae type track for Halloween. We talked about many different ways to approach this song, and after exploring some various production directions, a SIA type of production seemed the most suitable for the direction. There was a fine line to keep this song tasteful on a production standpoint and I really commend our musicians for creating a song that has a great feel and vibe. … [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]
This month’s featured artist, Maxfield & Little Vagabond are artists that hail from down under. We have worked with many artists from Australia and I continue to enjoy all the creativity that country can pump out. “Distant Kind Of Beautiful” came together real smooth. It had a solid foundation of catchy melodies and thoughtful lyrics which always makes it easy to develop. This particular Pop/Rock production combined elements of rock, and surprisingly a little pedal steel which really fit nicely… [Read More]
Frank Lupo is a New Jersey based songwriter that I’ve had the pleasure of collaborating with on for 4 productions. Each song unique and well written, Frank delivers catchy melodies and progressions that echo in my mind after I leave the studio. Having melodies that are memorable are a must for a successful production. Since we are close to Valentine’s Day and love is in the air, I thought I’d share one of Lupo’s latest productions which is a beautiful… [Read More]
I’ve just had the pleasure of completing a project with the talented Crystal Hinds. Crystal is a young singer/songwriter based out of rural Lytle, Texas that has been frustrated by a similar problem that a lot of us singer-songwriters encounter. We have the material, we have the vocal chops, we’re missing the band and local resources to get a quality recording. After having a few conversations with Crystal, she decided to give Studio Pros’ production team a shot on her… [Read More]
This month’s Featured Artist, Steve Jiske, has a knack for writing catchy modern country melodies and lyrics. His latest production, Carolina Girls is an upbeat country track with an ode to his local ladies. I find myself singing along to the chorus everytime I play the final version of this song. I’ve had the pleasure of producing 2 songs with Steve over the course of the last 4 months and am really proud of the way his songs have turned… [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]
