jmac (Dze Mak) on SoundBetter

My vocal arrangements have been used by Decca Recordings, Rhino Records and legacy Hip Hop artists such as Jungle Brothers. I have worked as composer, arranger, and musical director for several off-Broadway musicals and have toured extensively, including as the sound supervisor for theatrical tours with the Kennedy Center.

Musically, I'm interested in the visceral aspects of your song and how I can make them unignorable by elevating your lyrics. I live in harmony and melody, and write vocal parts and arrangements that bring out the power of the song.

I've been singing, playing piano, and arranging for string instruments for more than 20 years, classically trained but with a focus on pop music. My favorite thing is when someone sends me a track and asks for "Stevie Wonder style backup vocals". Or if someone wants something really atmospheric. I love to play with cluster chords, color note jazz chords and traditional Soul harmonies.

I don't work on tracks that are Transphobic or pro-cop/pro-prison.

Would love to hear from you. Click the contact button above to get in touch.
