MUSIC PRODUCER

Producing recordings is my deepest love and my greatest skill. From working with established icons to assisting those who are aspiring to greatness, it is a privilege to co-create a recording, whether it is in live sessions or in the studio. I believe that the sum of our collective energies creates a product that is greater than what any of us could do on our own.

The making of a musical “photograph”, a recording, is a weaving together of many strands of creativity, logistics and fine attention to myriad details.

I am excellent at all of that. Yet what I consider to be among my greatest gifts is the ability to make people feel comfortable doing their best work. I create an atmosphere where artists do just that. I am part coach, part cheerleader, part musical expert and muse, but what you get when we choose to work together is an advocate who is fiercely in your corner, before, during and after the recording sessions.

 

PROJECT MANAGEMENT

Any project’s success relies on unseen “behind-the-scenes” details being seamlessly manager in support of the finished product. I am a superior manager of all the details. I collaborate with you or your team to establish realistic deadlines, facilitate communication with all asset  providers to ensure a smooth production process that results in on-time completion of a world-class product and at a budget that works for you.
My services include providing for and coordination of:

ARTWORK: I work with your graphic designer or provide my own experts to create a look and packaging that reflects who you are and fulfills your vision.

PHOTOGRAPHY: I coordinate with your photographer, or recommend one, and ensure all necessary specs and format requirements are met for the highest quality product.

LINER NOTES AND TECHNICAL INFORMATION: The written presentation of your project is an essential element supporting the audio, and I will coordinate, write or edit the booklet and online text and tracking information with a dedication to complete accuracy, quality writing and clarity.

AUDIO MASTER MEDIA: I coordinate with your engineering team to ensure format and content accuracy between audio and artwork.

LICENSING AND COPYRIGHT: I guide you in the licensing process so that your recording complies with all legal requirements for distribution.

DIGITAL MEDIA PRESENTATION: I assist in organizing the digital information and metadata for the clear presentation of your project to many different digital distributors and platforms.

MANUFACTURING AND PRINT REQUIREMENTS: I work directly with the manufacturers and printers so the production process runs smoothly and delivers a final product meeting your expectations and time frame.
