Songwriting and Producing

I've been working in Logic producing and writing songs all year long. I don't necessarily aspire to be a producer per se but it's just become my songwriting process. I want to create good songs and demos in my room from start to finish that I can send to other artists and producers. I have A LOT of music in me and producing in Logic has become my way of getting it out.

When I was working on my album Somewhere in Between, I produced the entire project in Logic months before (January 2016- March 2016). This gave me time to work on the songs by myself without having to worry about organizing rehearsals with my band and also I could organize the project all before entering the studio. I worked on the song order, tempos, keys, solo order and honed in on the sound I wanted in the months prior. So when April 2nd of 2016 came and we entered the studio I knew EXACTLY what I wanted to do. For anyone doing an album or project I highly suggest doing this...It's almost like making a MOCK-UP album. Then you can get advice and feedback from artists you respect on your MOCK-UP before you hit the studio....

Christian Scott’s Upcoming Album || Stretch Music 2

Recording Christian’s album has been an amazing experience! I’ve learned so much. Watching Christian’s creative process from an idea, to a sketch, to a full composition, to a recording, as well as his post productions ideas have shown me a lot about how to create music effectively. In addition, he’s an incredible businessman and knows how to SELL records!! He’s always coaching me and the band on how to market yourself and how to brand yourself. I’ve learned that there is a lot more to success than just someone’s ability to play their instrument. In fact that is a very small part of it! I’m looking forward to this next project of his coming out and looking forward to touring the music. The future is looking bright.
