Who you’d be working with

A real person in your corner, not a beat in your inbox

Hey! I’m Blake. I’ve been in music professionally for 13 years as a producer, recording artist and guitarist, and I release my own introspective indie music too. So I know what it feels like to hand someone a song that means a lot to you.

When we work together, I’m not just building a track. I help you figure out what the song is really saying, find a sound that feels like you, and make recording easy wherever you are. You’ll talk to me, not an assistant, from the first call to the final master.

Before / After

Hear the difference

Real songs from real artists. Press play on the demo, then the finished track.

How it works

From voice memo to release, with me in your corner

Fully remote. You bring the songs, I guide you through every step.

Free song call

We talk through your songs, your sound and your goals. You leave with a clear plan, whether we work together or not.

Shape the song

Send a voice memo and a few references. We get clear on the sound and, if it helps, tighten the song before we build it.

First draft in a week

I build the production around your voice. You give feedback, I refine it until it feels like you.

Vocals, mix and master

Record from home, with me over Riverside, or at a local studio near you. Then I mix and master it, and you get release-ready files.

FAQ

Questions artists ask

How does this work remotely?
Everything happens online, from our calls to file sharing and revisions. To record vocals you can use a simple home setup (I’ll send you a recommended gear list), record with me over Riverside, or I’ll set you up with an engineer at a local studio near you. I guide you step by step.
Do I need a finished song?
You need a song idea you believe in. A voice memo with you singing and playing (or just singing) is the perfect starting point. If the song still needs work, that’s exactly what song development sessions are for.
Will you change my sound?
No. My job is to find the sound that’s already in your songs and make it bigger, not turn you into someone else.
How fast will I get my first version?
I guarantee a first draft within a week after you send me your idea. If you have a release date coming up, ask about rush options.
How many revisions are included?
Full Production includes 3 production rounds, 3 mix rounds and 2 mastering tweaks. Mix & Master includes 3 mix rounds and 2 mastering tweaks. Extra rounds are $75 each.
Do I keep all the rights to my song?
Yes. You own 100% of your music and your master once your project is paid in full. I’m here to bring your vision to life, not take ownership of it.
Can I pay over time?
Yes, there are options. We’ll go over what fits on the call.
What happens on the free call?
About 20 minutes. You play me your song (or tell me about it), we talk about the sound you want and your release goals, and I tell you honestly which option fits, if any. No pressure and no hard sell.
