Once again, Sam has shown he is a magician. He took my rough vocal idea, and he helped turn it into a full blown production. He is incredibly timely too. Lastly, Sam is a great person, and I 10/10 recommend you work with him!

Sam is fast becoming one of my absolute go-to producers for my songs now - this is the second track he's worked his magic on for me and I'm super happy with the result. The last song he helped me with got Record of the Week on BBC Introducing Radio so he must be doing something right!

Sam is a really talented producer! He got onboard with the vibe straight away, and was such a great person to bounce ideas around with. Safe pair of hands (and ears) in the studio, and really innovative too!
- check_circleVerified
Working with Sam was seamless, professional, and truly enjoyable. Providing Sam with some basic direction and references, he was able to help me mix a song and figure out exactly how it needed to sound. His mix captured a song in a way I had never heard the song in my head and I was really impressed that he was able to do all this without much instruction. I look forward to working with him again!

What more can I say about Sam? He's GREAT.
Fast, professional, inspiring. - check_circleVerified
Above average songwriting and creative mixing skills and just able to mesh with the music I wrote. Sam even (easily) convinced me to switch the verse and chorus melodies for a much better outcome. Lots of good energy and communication. I'll be borrowing Sam again, I suspect :)

Sam is the most professional, polite and creative person I've ever had the privilege of working with. He is amazingly talented with writing and mixing & mastering. He is a hit machine, from the get go when I heard the first draft of the song I instantly knew it was a hit. He sent over the first draft, that by the second draft I had no changes to request, that's how perfect it was! He is always on time with his drafts and never hesitates to accommodate. I would most certainly recommend Sam!

Interview with Sam Ray
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: There's a huge list, but I love the variety of sounds of the 80s brought into the world. My first love was pop-punk, but I'm a big fan of pop, synth-pop, rock and indie, and a bunch of other genres. In terms of current inspirations... The 1975, LANY, Carly Rae Jepsen, Taylor Swift, Angels & Airwaves, Death Cab for Cutie, Post Malone, Dua Lipa, Pale Waves, and many more, are frequent influences on my production and writing.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: I do a lot of work production, mixing, songwriting, and top lining, and generally help artists to develop their style during the production process. I also often engineer, record and mix pop/rock/indie bands too.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Song and arrangement are King and Queen.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: I'm a very melodic songwriter, and I love lyrics with character, quirk and emotion.
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: Make sure that the person you're hiring is passionate about making your music great - that's the most important thing!
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: I love to ask for references when people are looking for a song or a production. It's really great to know you're on the same wavelength as an artist and that you're both pulling the same direction.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: Currently working at my home studio with Logic Pro X, Pro Tools 12, Waves, Steven Slate, FabFilter, Kontakt Library and a bunch of other software. Hardware wise I'm currently running a 2018 iMac with an Apollo Twink Quad an SE Electronics z3300a, a Shure SM57 Beta, a Blue Spark, a Audio Technica AT2020, a Rhode NT1A, plus multiple guitars and amps.
