    Jan is an incredible producer that takes your song to the next level. You can really hear that he puts his heart into his music. And that’s what makes him stand out. I know we will definitely hear more from him. So, hire him now you still can, cause soon enough he will be taking over the world.

    Great guy, very open to suggestions ! Thanks to this, we were able to make big improvements to an already excellent mix so the mastered track was great. Very fulfilling gig. Really challenging b/c the mix of genres within the song. Real fun ! Five stars and looking forward for more collaborations in the future.

Interview with Jan Heymel

  1. Q: Can you share one music production tip?

  2. A: For every song or project, give it your all. And don't be afraid to throw away not-so-good ideas and start from scratch. Go into focus mode for hours without distractions. From my experience this is what makes good content stand out from bad content.

  3. Q: What are you working on at the moment?

  4. A: Doing a lot of jingles and creating an audio brands for companies. I also frequently do music for advertising films and ghost produce pop music for indie artists.

  5. Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?

  6. A: To make you happy and to get done what needs to get done in time.

  7. Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

  8. A: Just send me a message. I am very open to work on almost anything.

  9. Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?

  10. A: It's been a journey of over 10 years for now.

  11. Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?

  12. A: Hans Zimmer. I think I can learn a lot from him his unique and different approaches to create/enhance emotions through music.

  13. Q: What type of music do you usually work on?

  14. A: Film and electronic pop music.

  15. Q: What's your strongest skill?

  16. A: Melodies.

  18. A: My notebook, a keyboard, a laptop, music boxes and a generator for the electricity ;)

  19. Q: What do you bring to a song?

  20. A: Passion.

  21. Q: What's your typical work process?

  22. A: For writing music to picture, a good start is a good cup of tea and a blank paper. As soon as I dived deep into the movie, I switch over from paper to piano and start composing. Then I usually forget time and space and tend to work long hours without much breaks.

  23. Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?

  24. A: Definitely Hans Zimmer, but also film composers like Ennio Morricone or Steve Jablonsky. There are too many to count.
