Here are some questions that I am often asked with, I hope, some helpful answers….
What do you do?
As a producer, I help the artist or songwriter decide the best way to record a performance of a song in a way that fits their vision of what the song should be. This help ranges from helping to choose what songs to perform or what style to do a particular song in, to hiring the best musicians and studio for the particular job. I book studio time, players, and engineers (if not myself), rehearse the band if needed, and guide the vocalists and instrumentalists through their performances to make professional recordings.
