Reo Cragun on SoundBetter

Need an amazing hook, full song or Beat written? I am your guy! Highly experienced Songwriter/ Producer who specializes in Electronic music, Rap, and R&b. I have generated over 100 million streams on Spotify and have worked with the likes of Flume, Nipsey Hussle, Kid Ink, and have secured multiple placements (Latest NBA 2k22, Fifa 21).

I can Produce your song, Add Vocals, Songwriting, Mix it, Master it, and guarantee you a final piece of music that you will absolutely love! I moved to LA in 2015 and shortly after partnered with D2 Entertainment and10k Projects for my debut release “Growing Pains." Spring 2018 I was on tour opening for Billie Eilish on 26 dates of the “Where’s My Mind Tour, and In 2019, my first independent release came as a collaboration between Australian DJ/Producer Flume, on a track titled “Friends” It became “record of the week” on Beats 1 Radio. “Friends” was followed by a 4 track collaborative EP titled, “Quits” by Flume featuring myself that summer. That project has surpassed 50 million streams on Spotify and I have generated over 100 million streams on Spotify alone across R&B, Hip-Hop/Rap, EDM and Alternative genres.

I'm always looking to collaborate and write. I've been writing my own music, engineering, and also frequently producing my own songs for the past 7 years. Furthermore I have a studio at my house, so turnaround time is very fast 3 days max, but usually can be done within one or two days depending on the project.

    I truly believe Reo can’t write a bad song even if he wanted to. I’m blown away by the uniqueness of his voice and his vocal delivery, i’d absolutely work with him over and over again. He is also insanely fast and communicates throughout the entire process, which is a producer’s dream! Would recommend him in a heartbeat

    Reo has an amazing sound and great ear for melody. Nailed the vocal sound we needed for a track on pretty much the first go-around. Really amazed at the quality and speed of Reo's work! Super collaborative and open to ideas and feedback as well. Great person and hope to work with Reo again soon!
