Here’s an update of my production work for those of you who may be interested. For some clients I produced full projects, some I joined their team as vocal producer, for many I wrote on their songs and they are all my vocal students who smartly prepared for their productions by getting their voices in top shape. Here’s a summary:

This spring I finished full projects for several clients including

• John Farndell- a Christian minister from South Africa. We cut his tracks at Hilltop Studio with John Nicholson, engineer and an amazing cast of musicians. Background singers included me, Jennifer O’Brien and Michael Black.
• Cecilia Halsey- an alt-country artist based in Alabama. This production was recorded at Eclectic Sound, Nick Sparks engineer. Again a great team of musicians led by bassist Mike Chapman.
• Darby Haas, a country artist living in Kentucky. We recorded Darby at Mainframe Studio, Nathan Smith engineer. Mike Chapman again led the band.

These unique, creative projects were great fun for me are now out to the public! They are all quite different, I co-wrote the whole project with John Farndell, produced hers and others’ songs on Cecilia and co-wrote part of Darby’s project. I sang background vocals on their projects and they are all my vocal students as well; I can run a full-service shop:)

I also very much enjoyed joining other producer’s teams as vocal producer for artists including

• Winfield’s Locket, a Louisiana-based country duo produced by the amazing Ilya Toshinsky. We recorded at multiple studios.
• Jenni Schaefer, a novelist/public speaker/singer/songwriter whose works have been endorsed by none other than Dr. Phil. I joined Ilya’s production team working as vocal producer for several of her tracks, including some Jenni and I co-wrote. Several studios and engineers were involved.
• “Jenny and Ashley“, a teen country duo. The production team assembled and led by Mike Borchetta included me as vocal producer and Darran Smith (band leader for Tim McGraw’s band “Dance Hall Doctors”) who produced the tracks.  All tracks and vocals were recorded and mixed at Loud Studio, Julian King engineer.

CURRENTLY: This summer I’m working on finishing up…

• Pop teen artist Emil Bishaw’s new project with engineer Richie Biggs working on final mixes. Tracks were cut at master drummer Steve Brewster’s studio Brewbeat, Richie Biggs engineering. (You won’t be surprised that the drums  sound great!) Vocals were cut in a couple different places with engineer Billy Whittington.
• Country artist from New Mexico  Sim Balkey’s new project – tracks were cut this spring at Mainframe and vocals will be recorded later this summer.
• I’m also beginning a new production for Cecilia Halsey, to be recorded at Eclectic.

As you can see, I work in all kinds of different ways in different studios, with multiple genres of artists. If you’d like to contact me about your production, hit the contact button on this site and I’ll be happy to talk to you!
