Interview with Adam Jarvis
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: Ideas, respect for the production, attention to detail, and determination to get a good result!
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: More cowbell!
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: I spent too long trying to do everything myself, so don't fall into that trap! You can learn how to do anything, and you should! But it takes a long time to get really good at all the different parts of making music. Give each of your songs the best chance to shine by working with people who can take them to the next level.
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: If I'm honest, it'd be an acoustic guitar and 4 crates of beer.
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I've been doing music in various ways for over 20 years. I started out as a musician playing various instruments, starting writing songs soon after and then very quickly started recording myself and my friends! Then I married the best singer I knew and started a band. She's still the best singer I know! Over time I started working more and more with other people on their music.
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: Anyone who's music is inspiring
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: I really love anything with a groove, so often that's soul, funk, pop, but I also love the natural sound of acoustic instruments, and I've been in rock bands in the past so I love music with some attitude!
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: I try to be ordered with it, but the best part about making music is when your subconscious takes over and you go into a kind of music trance.... at that point I have no idea if what I'm doing makes sense but it usually ends in a good place, so it's all good.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: Mixing, production, recording, and reimagining songs in new styles!
