Josh Frigo on SoundBetter

I'm a producer and multi-instrumentalist in Nashville, TN. 12 years production experience, specializing in Pop, Singer-Songwriter, and Alternative music. Credits include Atmos mixes for Niall Horan, Fletcher, and NF and productions on NBC, CMT, and more.

I want to take your musical idea and help you transform it into a recorded work of art.

Do you have a song in your head or in the memo app on your phone? From my studio in Nashville, TN I can take your demo or top line and turn it into a sonically stunning recording.

I'm a cellist, guitarist, and keyboardist specializing in Pop and Alternative music. I've produced songs for "The Voice's" MisterMoon and Phùng Khánh Linh, Dove GMA Award Nominee John Tibbs, and more.

My productions have been featured on hit TV shows like CMT's "Nashville," MTV's "Teen Mom," and NBC's "Ordinary Joe," and I've done Atmos mixing for Niall Horan, Fletcher, NF, and more.

Together, we'll make sure your song is complete and ready for recording. Then we'll collaborate on ideas for arrangement and I'll write and perform the parts to track (Pro Tools). Finally, we'll make edits to the recording until we're happy with the final product, and I will prep the session for mix. If you need help finding mixing and mastering engineers, or are unsure how to ready / deliver your song for distribution, I can help you with that too.

I'm ready to help you make music that moves listeners. Contact me and let's get started.

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

    Together with Josh I already produced an entire synth-pop album of mine and I am glad we continue working together. This time we rearranged an acoustic track to become a full band synth-pop power song. Josh really knows how to tackle a song and make it stand out. His productions add something special. I value he always asks for the story behind the song and one can feel how he makes the emotional story of the song the foundation of his production. Big recommendation working with him!

    Josh is a phenomenally talented multi-instrumentalist and producer. He was able to take a simple lo-fi recording and turn it into something really special. Throughout the process, he was very open to feedback, iterative, and clear with communication and timing. I look forward to working with him again.

    First time working with Josh - I entrusted him with a very special song and he knocked it out of the park. Couldn’t be happier. He was clear up-front about his process, was delightful and easy to work with, and would love to work with him again in the future.

    For a big upcoming show production of mine Josh worked on multiple song arrangements and created perfectly fitting backing tracks. Josh is an expert when it comes to stunning sonic soundscapes and arrangements especially in the cross section of pop synth-pop and rock. Working with him for two years now and never looked back even once. Full recommendation as always!

    I've worked with Josh on a handful of projects now—this was a much smaller project than usual, but even on this he elevated it to the greatest possible level. I'm continually grateful to have found him on here!

    Josh does such phenomenal work! He has a remarkable ability to look at the big picture on songs that have a lot going on and then tame all the various pieces so they support each other.

    Very late with this, but I was very happy with the job Josh did on my song. He provided a good number of tracks to review, most of which were used and Josh was very responsive to what I was asking for, and very prompt in completing the job! Great appreciated!

    I produced my entire album together with Josh. I can only recommend working with Josh. He's a good listener, perfect production partner and has all the right skills. Also he is keen on timing, very talented on many many instruments and a perfectionist on detail. Love working with him and can only recommend him from all of my heart. Thanks for the masterpiece!

    This is my second time working with Josh, and definitely not the last. I'm thrilled at everything he's done to elevate these two new songs. Josh pays incredibly close attention to every layer of a track, fine-tuning details so every sound shines and serves its purpose. I'm grateful for the level of care he brings to this work!

    Josh has been wonderful to work with. He is organized, communicates clearly & honestly: a consummate professional. Josh's arranging, playing and producing skills are top-notch. Not inexpensive but the value-to-price ratio is excellent. I look forward to working with Josh again in the near future.

    Josh was great to work with. Very professional and sent me clear instructions on what he needed for a vocal take on a track he was producing. Clear artistic references and very prompt with payment and a review. Would certainly recommend.

    Together we created a wonderful string arrangement for one of my songs. As an experienced cello player and producer Josh directly knew how to approach this one and delivered such an amazing result - I am stunned and thankful and can only recommend working with Josh.
