Shatterjack on SoundBetter

Modern-Style Multi-Genre Producer - I like making artists sound unique

With over 10 years of production and songwriting experience across a large number of genres, Shatterjack's productions have enjoyed regular plays across international radio stations including BBC Radio 1 (Annie Mac, Phil Taggart, Huw Stevens to name a few), Australia's Triple-J, and LA's KCRW.

Shatterjack has also written multiple scores for clients such as Sky, Netflix, and BBC, and had music featured in films like Bridget Jones, Lucky Man, Brassic, How Do They Know, Sherlock Gnomes, and How To Build A Girl. Shatterjack also has experience writing radio jingles and to briefs, having worked for IMGR / Wise Buddah for a year, contributing over 50 bespoke tracks.

One of Shatterjack's projects 'Ekcle', were BBC Introducing's Artist of the Month, have remixed for the legendary DJ Shadow, and have gathered over a million streams on their experimental hybrid music. Shatterjack continues to produce a wide range of genres today, from more aggressive beats to the darkest pop, along to left-field ambient, and everything in between.

Currently working on my debut EP for my new dark genre-bending artist project, as well as a heap of debut singles and EPs for artists such as Laura Doggett (RCA) Bellsavvy, Darcey Finch and newcomer Blurred Thirst.

    Very professional and quick. The total turnaround took no more than 2-3 sessions. He was very organised from the start and very detailed in his approach. He helped me with the additional production and mastering and now the track sounds sick! Highly recommend! 

Interview with Shatterjack

  1. Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?

  2. A: Probably that all I do all day is sit in a dark room nodding my head

  3. Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?

  4. A: Ekcle, I was a part of the act for 4 years before moving on due to musical differences. I was one of the two producers / writers in the duo. We did a lot in that time, especially considering how different and 'left-field' the music is. We achieved radio plays from all across the globe, including continued support on BBC Radio 1 in the UK.

  5. Q: What are you working on at the moment?

  6. A: Debut singles and EPs for several artists, pending releases in early 2021.

  7. Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?

  8. A: Starting producing when I was 18, now I'm 27. Done loads of things in that time, artist projects, productions, film & TV works, pretty much everything.

  9. Q: How would you describe your style?

  10. A: A blend of emotive musicality and dark, heavy low end, all combined with driving, punching drums (all whilst keeping the song 'commercially viable')

  11. Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?

  12. A: FKA Twiggs, because I think we'd make something ridiculously epic and make everyone's hair stand on end

  13. Q: Can you share one music production tip?

  14. A: Always reference your mixes in mono!

  15. Q: What type of music do you usually work on?

  16. A: The darker side of pop, or the more aggressive side of rap/drill/UK underground music.

  17. Q: What's your strongest skill?

  18. A: The speed of production & the vision / way I see tracks developing. I also have a good ear to make things dramatic / extra epic, especially with backing vocals, and harmonies.

  19. Q: What do you bring to a song?

  20. A: Either goosebumps, the 'screw face' of approval, or ideally, both.

  21. Q: What's your typical work process?

  22. A: Starting with something melodic or creating a beat from scratch, and building the song from there. Sometimes if the artist has a hook we craft the beginnings of the song around the hook.

  23. Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.

  24. A: Writing full songs from scratch, providing bespoke & unique instrumentals for the artist, as well as recording & producing the vocal if appropriate (due to locations etc). I produce beats for rappers / vocalists.
