Mitch Froemming on SoundBetter

I grew up tending a poultry farm on the arctic plains of Minnesota. Fortunately, when your only friends are grass fed broilers you get really attached to your hobbies. Mine was music.

Why work with me? I’m obsessed with what I do. I’ve been writing and producing since I was 15 years old. I’ve written and produced songs featured on several prominent Spotify playlists including “New Music Friday Germany”, “Fresh Finds”, “New Music Friday Iceland”, “Pop Right Now”, and many more. I believe with all my heart that to succeed as a musician IT HAS TO START WITH THE SONG.

Determining if we’re a good fit → I’m not a one stop shop. I do my best work in the Pop and Alternative Pop genres. It’s where my heart is. I think there is a sweet spot where edgy and current intersect and I’m always searching for it. If you love catchy hooks and making music that pushes the pop culture envelope, let’s talk.

→ FREE TRIAL ← Up till this point I've focused solely on my own artist project "Future Friend" and am just jumping into the world of producing for others. It's something I've always wanted to do. I know you have a lot of choices on SoundBetter and trusting someone without lot's of reviews or a huge list of credits is risky. Because of that, I'm happy to start work on your project for zero dollars and if you don't like the direction we part ways...BUT...I'm pretty sure we're gonna make some mind blowingly irresistible pop magic together. Just a gut feeling.

Mitch helped me with the production of a chill pop track based on my vocal and guitar demo. I really like where he took the track, this is a genre he knows well and can deliver strongly in. The end result sounds slick and I've got what I need to finish it off. Equally important, he's a nice, easy-going, friendly guy who you'll enjoy working with - I can happily recommend him for production / co-production jobs.

Great, fresh music, well-crafted and nicely balanced mix. After a couple iterations we ended up with a great master that elevated the track to a whole new level. Superb communication also, Mitch was great to work with and i hope to continue serving him well on the future. Thanks Mitch !! It was super fun !
