Nelson (Nellz) Kyle on SoundBetter

I'm a very experienced engineer who has worked with many major label recording artists. I have produced, mixed and engineered records in multiple genres. My main focus here is to assist clients in getting the best product possible. I can perform any task necessary to achieve a professional product. Please let me know how I can help you.

I got my start in the industry over 15 years ago interning for Dallas Austin. From there I worked my way up to studio engineer and also began producing my own music and working with artists. Shortly after I partnered up with a Florida based production team known as "The Agency". Our work took us to LA and I have been here ever since. Over this time I have developed a very well rounded set of skills. I'm able to tune vocals, mix, edit, arrange, and produce full records. In the 10+ years in the industry, I have worked in every capacity possible. Working hands on with artists is my speciality. I can perform any task in the mixing, recording, and editing spectrum. I am here to provide you with the highest quality work possible to help bring your projects to life. Please let me know how I can help you, even if it's not in the job description. I also have an audio engineering degree and have experience working with video clients with sound design.

Interview with Nelson (Nellz) Kyle

Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: I have a single, "CAB" on Chris Brown's Breezy album. I created the loop the beat was based on and helped with the writing and production of the record.
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: Fast and Furious, SZA, NLE Choppah, NBA Youngboy, etc...
Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?
A: Riley Urick, Mickey Shiloh, Jordan (Skimmy) Suecof
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Analog is always the best for quality, but digital will always win for convenience. Also, digital is almost unrecognizable these days, unless you're making music for engineers and producers.
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: You will always walk away with the highest quality work I can deliver. I always believe in being the best problem solver in the room. You will definitely want to continue working with me.
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: Music is my life. Its all I know. I do this everyday because I love it.
Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A: Do you give the same effort with an A list artist vs. an independent artist? I always give the same effort no matter the project, because I love this and that's the only way I know to work.
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: Sometimes I can do things quickly, but you're not paying for the time I spend on the project, you're paying for all the experience that I bring with me. I do quality work.
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: What are you goals for the project? What are your inspirations? How can I fit in and help you achieve what you're looking for?
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: I'm not the cheapest, but I believe in quality. I get things right the first time.
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: The ones I own. It's all I really need.

A: I started as an intern in Atlanta for Dallas Austin over 10 years ago in Atlanta.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: Nostalgic
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: Drake. I love his writing style and I love hits.
