I have worked with Sean for about 14 years. He is 100% dedicated to his craft. His audio quality and sound palettes are second-to-none. He is highly organized, always on point and delivers projects on (or before) the agreed deadline. Super easy to work with and communicates very well. I highly recommend Sean.

Sean is an incredibly unique and talented songwriter! As a drummer who has rehearsed and performed many of Sean’s compositions, I have experienced firsthand the subtle nuances he has crafted. Sean has innate abilities to perfectly construct a tune in a wide array of genres.

Interview with Sean Lacefield

Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: I worked on an indie film called Repo! The Genetic Opera for 8 solid months. Many of the people I worked with have become life long friends. I was able to work with people like Stephen Perkins (Janes Addiction), Ray Luzier (Korn), Tommy Clufetos (Ozzy, Alice Cooper, Black Sabbath, Ted Nugent), Sonny John Moore (Just before he became Skrillex), Yoshiki Hayashi (X Japan), Paul Sorvino (Good Fellas), Bill Mosley (House of 1000 Corpses), Sarah Brightman (Opera Singer), Shawn "Clown" Crahan (Slipknot) and there are so many more to list. This was an amazing project to be a part of, just look at the list of people I got to work with! I was hired as the sound editor but ended up doing many jobs for the film including co-producing a track with Yoshiki.
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: Six songs for artist and sync release.
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: Making music in a tiny town in rural Washington state, to the L.A. music and film industry for 18 years, to a little town in Western Montana 1.5 years ago. Kind of full circle.
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: Chris Stapleton- Because is lyrical imagery and vocal ability are second to none no matter the genre.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: Everything but Reggae music, and that's only do to the fact that no one has approached me with it yet. All music is great.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: Perseverance
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: I bring skill, experience and a desire to make the best music humanly possible for myslef and anyone I work with.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: Grinding, obsessing, striving for perfection.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I primarily work from home, especially these days. As a signed writer for Fr8 Train Music Publishing, I have the privilege of working at Westlake Studios in Los Angeles when a project requires it.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: Chris Spilfogel (engineer), Marcus Hill (songwriter), Joseph Bishara (composer), Chris Stapleton, Sophie Hanson (studio vocalist) and the list goes on.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: These days there isn't typical work. One day I am writing for an artist, the next I am working on sound design for a new catalog, the next I could be producing and engineering a metal album. Whatever work lands on my plate that day is typical, just the way I like it.
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Analog because it's amazing and digital because it's convenient. (And Amazing most of the time)
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: I will use every bit of experience and creativity to help you reach your outcome, regardless of the size or budget. Every endeavor deserves 100%, or do something else.
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: Creating something amazing from nothing. Even after all these years, the studio is still the most magical place on earth.
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: What's your goal? What's your budget? Now lets make those work together.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: If you do it because you love it, it will never suck.
