check_circleVerifiedOnce again, Lars delivered an outstanding set of vocal tracks for a complex arrangement with mixed genres. His flexibility and vocal range are stupendous, and his professionalism and musicianship are at an incredibly high caliber. Lars has a beautiful understanding about dynamics and styles, and can select the best singing style for every track. Always a pleasure and a privilege to work with him.
check_circleVerifiedSecond time i worked with Lars and the result speaks for it self. He is really easy and professional to work with and has the an incredible voice with so much range and a unique way of changing the sound of the voice. He makes the lyrics really come to life. Whatever you need, Lars is the man!!
check_circleVerifiedI could be singing praises all over the world for this extraordinary talent! I wrote a song having Queen inspired harmonies in mind and when I heard Lars, I felt wow, he understands.. but I didn't know just how much he fully understood until we began working together! He delivered to me within 24 hours which was just a blessing beyond and he was the most easy and professional to work with.. I'm not just recommending him, I'm saying if you want STELLAR background vocals, go to Lars!
check_circleVerifiedOnce again, Lars delivered stellar work with unbelievably great harmony ideas. His vocal quality, originality, timeliness, excellent communications and friendly approach to work with were greatly appreciated.

Lars is pro in every aspect of the process and is really easy to work with. He absolutely understood what i was looking for and nailed it! Add to that his incredible voice and the range of it and you'll be more than happy! I asked Lars if he could do some ad libs on top of the lyrics/melody i wrote and it really elevated the song. I had high expectations coming in to this and they where exceeded by far! I will for sure 100% work with Lars again and i highly recommend his services!

I asked Lars to take on a pop/rock-ballad-type piece with some rather tricky chord and key changes. This was actually the first time I'd used a vocalist in this way for my songs working online, so I wasn't sure precisely what to expect, but I knew from the outset that Lars had the vocal character I wanted. Lars absolutely brought the song to a higher level with his outstanding harmony work, quick action and friendly, flexible attitude. Absolutely a pro in every sense of the word—awesome work!
check_circleVerifiedThe most incredible vocals sung by Lars!! He understood the task and worked extremely hard to deliver the very best vocals, within a super quick time-frame, always staying in tight contact with me throughout the project duration. Lars delivered high quality files of vocals that were just amazing. 100% most highly recommended and I honestly can't wait to work with him again!! Thank you, Lars!!
check_circleVerifiedGood as always! Another song together done perfectly.

Interview with Lars Edvall
Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: A song I recorded for Jeff Chapman. Really good song which I sang lead on and arranged and sang bv:s on in a (fast and) really satisfying way. Happy customer - happy me!
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: An EP with a well-known Swedish artist, my own projects new release, some background music tracks for a repeat client and conducting a choir.
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: I've recorded a lot of stuff on 2" tape, but for practical purposes nowadays, digital always wins.
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: Endless supplies of food & beverage, a laptop, mic, interface and a guitar ... I'm really swift att clicking in piano parts without keyboard, but guitar is harder to emulate nicely.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: Queen, Toto, Extreme, Max Martin
Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?
A: Max Prime - for production of remixes or EDM stuff.
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: I deliver, and I don't use those words lightly.
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: The variation! The possibility to create stuff that has never been heard before!
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: How free am I to interpret or come up with ideas? Is there any specific artist you want to mimic the feel of?
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: Don't be afraid to be specific regarding your demands or your feedback. It's better to be crystal clear so you get what you pay for as a client.
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I have been freelancing as a composer/singer/instrumentalist for 25 years.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: All over the place. I have a stage persona for my personal voice, Sad Jack, but I'm well known for singing rock/pop with a slightly more forceful tone.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Keep drums and low bottom tight and well locked together. Then the rest usually sorts itself out mix-wise.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: Pop, rock and EDM.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: My head combined with my voice. I know how to sing and I know how to sing exactly the harmonies I arrange in my head. I have no problem doing a whole arrangement first and then read it from my mind.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: Mostly a carefully recorded and edited vocal package, expressing the feelings and style requested by the client. I usually suggest how background vocals can be made, present an idea to the client and then arrange.

A: Sing through the song, find the right type of vocal approach, arrange background vocals, send draft version to client, get feedback, polish up draft or re-record, check with client, send delivery package.
