my process
Phase 1: Prep
Pre-Production
Every project begins with a deep dive into your goals, influences, references, and demos. From there, we’ll choose a demo or co-write something new, ending with a strong song idea we’ll bring fully to life in the next phase.
Phase 2: Production
Production & Recording
As a multi-instrumentalist and engineer, I build beat-style or live band productions. I keep your feedback involved throughout so the song evolves according to your vision. Artists local to St. Louis or willing to travel can work in my studio. For remote clients, I offer an accessible session experience over video call to artists anywhere in the English-speaking world. If you don’t think remote sessions can compete with in-person work, I’m ready to prove otherwise.
phase 3: Polish
Post-Production, Mixing & Mastering
Once vocals are ready, I move into post-production, using creative edits and added instrumentation to further support the song. I then mix with clarity, warmth, and impact, with mastering included so you walk away with a fully finished, release-ready record.
Release support
After your project is complete, I’m still available as a resource. With over 20 years of experience in indie music releases, I can recommend strategies based on real successes I’ve been part of, from properly uploading and registering your music to marketing strategies.
Bonus: When possible, I will submit our songs to relevant sync licensing briefs for TV, film, and advertising through my publishing network.
Flexible options for smaller projects: if you don’t require the entire front-to-back process, reach out about any combination of mixing, mastering, recording, editing and session musician tracks (guitar, bass, keys).
