Artists
Joyeur is a female led pop duo from Los Angeles, CA. I had the pleasure of co-producing and mixing 2 songs on their debut album: “Ultraviolet Techno” and “Please Stand By.” Working with Jo and Anna is effortless. Anna has a great ear for cool sounds, and Jo has the vision and an airy, beautiful voice that just draws you in. We’re always on the same page, and I love the dreamy, spacey pop vibe that they’ve created.
ASTRØKNOTA is my dreamy pop, reggaeton, hip-hop alter ego. I wanted to create something that represented a few of my favorite modern musical influences. Reggaeton and latin Pop / hip-hop are pushing the bounds of music in the most creative and interesting ways. I linked up with Mario Sterling a few years back after being introduced through his manager while working at Interscope Records. He brought this project to life with his melodies, flow, and creative blending of Spanish and English. Some of my favorites on the album include “Gozar”, “Tú”, “Activa”, and “Muévelo.”
Wandering Wanda is a project I co-wrote and produced with Alix Isom. We wanted to create something reminiscent of the 90s and early 2000s artists we were so inspired by (The Pixies, The Strokes, Rilo Kiley). The full band kicks off and indie guitars strum behind beautiful female pop rock vocals. Fun and catchy choruses are well balanced with some edge and grit, while other songs touch on more emotional subjects.
Little Brothr is my folk/pop alter ego. It blends Texas roots with California pop flavor. Acoustic guitars strum behind big beats, and swirling female harmonies provided by the lovely Alix Isom. It’s fun and upbeat and just supposed to make you feel good. “Life Is Good” was recently featured in the Netflix Trailer for Season 3 of Atypical!
F L O W E R Z is a dark cinematic album I co-wrote and produced with a variety of talented female artists (Maggie Szabo, Annabel Lee, Alix Isom, Syd Duran, Kim Reader). It blends hard hitting beats and synths, with lush and sometimes distorted strings. Carrying the songs are powerful, gritty and airy female vocals. It is the dark side counterpart of a previous album I produced under the same name.
Syd Duran is a songwriter, recording artist and front-woman of LA rock band Valora. Signed to Hollywood Records in 2007 as a solo artist, Syd landed her first tour opening up for the Jonas Brothers.
She began her songwriting career co-writing with the industry’s top songwriters and producers including The Matrix (Britney Spears, Shakira, Avril Lavigne), Kara Dioguardi (Kelly Clarkson, Pink, Jason Derulo), Rock Mafia (Eminem, Zedd, Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez, Mariah Carey, Justin Bieber) and many more.
Syd and I have had a lot of success with the song “Dust & Bone.” It’s been featured in the 68 Whiskey promo, Walking Dead promo, FIFA Women’s World Cup 2019 promo, American Gods Season 2 promo, and more.
MANHATTN is an EP that came together from opposite ends of the country. Co-written and co-produced with the talented Minnesota based songwriter/producer Drew Lerdal. We finished this EP through email without ever being in the same room. The songs are indie rock inspired with an anthemic, arena sound. Guitars blend with hard hitting acoustic and sampled drums. Catchy male vocals and earworm melodies will get stuck in your head. “Never Gonna Give Up” was featured in Buick Mexico’s 2019 ad campaign, and you can catch the other songs in a variety of TV shows including Sydney To The Max, Ravens Home, General Hospital, MTV’s Catfish, Seista Key and more!
“Out My Way” is a song from a project I produced for LA based artist Katrina Stuart. Katrina grew up in Toronto and made the move to LA to pursue her music career. With a major social media following and a newly signed record deal she plans on releasing another album this year.
Truli was a project I created with LA based producer/songwriter Danny Burke. Massive synths, big beats and catchy hooks combine to create pop that has heart. The footage from the music video was shot in Iceland by Dan Huiting (Bon Iver, Sylvan Esso, Bad Suns) and you can catch “Don’t Take My Summer Away” in the movie WISH UPON starring Joey King and Ryan Philippe, as well as on the official soundtrack!
F L O W E R Z was an album I wanted to make after years of growing up on female based pop music. Being raised in a household with 5 women shaped my musical taste. I wanted to create something that was inspired by my childhood but was also modern. “Portal” was featured in the new season of Veronica Mars, and others have been in shows like Total Bellas, the UK Royal Wedding, General Hospital and more!
