Hi! I'm a Berklee College of Music Graduate with a love for music that gets people on their feet and moving. I'm a guitarist, composer, and producer.

Versatile guitarist with experience playing genres from Jazz to rock to RnB and Funk. I want to give your track the extra pop it needs, no matter the style. I record remotely and can send stems wherever in the world you might be. I'm also a trained composer and producer, I can take your idea and make track from scratch in whatever style you might need.

An awesome player with an amazing set of ears. Connor's tone, musicality, and knowledge of many genres shines on every track he touches. Specifically my personal go to for pop and neo-soul, I've also played rock, hip hop, and Americana with him over the years.

Interview with Connor Gehlert

Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?
A: Ben Kling, for mixing and production. Steve Haan for all things Bass and Mastering.
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: Production on an RnB EP with a good friend of mine, it'll be coming out in the summer of '19.
Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A: Are you left handed? Do you play upside down? Yes I am and no I don't! Left guitars are manufactured as a mirror and I play those.
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: Their favorite color, a few of their favorite guitarists or songs for reference, and if they could provide a lyric sheet (if applicable).
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: Groovy and soulful, with a hint of sass.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Workflow is key, setting up your sessions the way you like them beforehand makes it easier to motivate yourself to get to work in the first place.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: Mostly Pop, Funk, and RnB. But living in Nashville has let me play with Americana, Rock, and Folk musicians as well.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: Efficiency, I'm quick to learn a song and come up with parts. Turn arounds are quick for me because of this.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I mic my guitar amps with a dynamic mic (which one depends on the project) and a Fat Head Ribbon, run that through a Clarett 2pre digital interface in to protools. My mic cabinet extends to a Neumann TLM 103 for acoustic and vocal tracking and a few others to track odds and ends.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: Anyone who puts out a consistently incredible body of work, whether it be recording quality, playing, or overall creativity in their music.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: An artist or producer contacts me to record guitar remotely at my home studio.
