Cool Chords on SoundBetter

Hey people, I run a songwriting and production consulting company called Cool Chords. 15 + years of experience and have ghostwritten Billboard Top 40 singles, songs for placement in TV and Film, for some major known and established artists and got some big album cuts. I write some of the best chord progressions in the industry.

Hello again,

Background:

Did I mention I went to Berklee and studied songwriting and guitar under the world renowned Pat Pattison (John Mayer, Melissa Ethridge's teacher).

I can write in all styles Pop /R&B/ Jazz/ Blues/ Singer/Songwriter / Hip/Hop/ Rock / Bossa but my expertise lies somewhere between Singer Songwriter style andPop/R&B
Think something like Randy Newman Piano, or John Mayer/ Justin Timberlake guitar chords.
I also frequently write progressions and guitar hooks for Hip hop artists. If you can imagine that jazzy sounding guitar layered into a cool hip hop song I do a lot of that.

Services:

Full Songs
Chord Progressions
Lyrics
Guitar lines and layering

I also offer a more consultative approach: If you want some help, instead of someone to do it for you, I can work with you in a collaborative way - help spruce your lyrics, or help add more color to your chord progressions.

I have consulted and collaborated with industry pros and household artists as well as up and coming and aspiring artists, as long as the work ethic and professionalism is there, i'd love to work with you!

I'd love to hear about your project. Click the 'Contact' button above to get in touch.

    Cool Chords has been an absolute pleasure to work with! This was our first time using soundbetter and working on this type of project with outside help and we couldn’t have asked for a more helpful, understanding, diligent, knowledgeable and of course talented person to do this with. He listened to what we wanted and knew exactly how to deliver what we were going for. We will of course be working with him again and so should you!
