Ben Walding on SoundBetter

I am a multifaceted producer whose productions have amassed millions of streams, and have been placed on various media in the US and abroad. I had my start at large legacy recording studios in NYC before working on my own. Clients include Atlantic Records, APG, Universal Music Group, Primary Wave, TBS, and Netflix.

My broad love of music gives me a unique production style that will make you sound like no one else. I'm a trained classical violinist which gives me an intimate, detail-oriented side to my production, but I grew up listening to lots of heavy music--my breadth lies between those spectrums. I love to inject tiny influences from unexpected places and pride myself in the contrast I apply to the productions I'm a part of. When I can, I love to put pieces from the artist's personal life into the production, whether a voice memo, applicable found sounds, or other allusions to the song's meaning to the artist and the story being told.

I met Ben in 2013 and have not stopped making music with him since. Shortly after we met, I recruited him to be in my folk band and to be my friend. We’ve released two records together in the folk and alt-pop genre. He wears many hats including and not limited to sound engineer, songwriter, lyricist, classically trained violinist, expert guitarist and producer. He’s a vocalist’s companion, an insightful music director, and an avid listener of music. With a calm temperament and sharp ears, he’s constantly revising, critiquing, and amending his work in pursuit of only the best. Work with Ben!

Ben and I have worked together since roughly 2014/2015 co-writing and producing music and I can truly say he is a dream to work with. He’s efficient, professional, hilarious and all around extremely talented. His work is clean and his jams hit hard; and he is a classically trained multi-instrumentalist so he has the technical expertise to back it all up. Production aside, Ben is a great person- reliable and an all around pleasure to work with.

Ben produced eight songs for my LP in nine days. The speed and creativity he brings to the table is unrivaled in my experience. His proficiency in guitar, violin, bass, drum production, and even some light transcription work were essential to the completion of a record That fully surpassed my expectations. All the ear candy. The nastiest breakdowns. An excellent ear. And a lovely human to be around. I would hire him again in a heartbeat.
