John Mark Nelson on SoundBetter

My absolute favorite thing to do is to help artists create something they feel proud and excited to share with the world. If my experience and skill set feel like the right fit, I would love to do that for you!

John Mark has over a decade of experience creating, collaborating, and performing. He spent over five years writing, producing, and touring works under his own name, and now uses that experience and expertise to help shape the sound of other artists and writers. He spent the first half of his career contributing to the thriving Minneapolis music community, and recently moved to Los Angeles, after he was invited to work alongside acclaimed songwriter and producer Dan Wilson (Adele, Leon Bridges, John Legend).

John is the most fantastic producer I've come to work with, the results he produced absolutely surpassed my expectations. He has a brilliant taste in arrangement and sound engineering, his skills, knowledge and experience let him create astonishing results. Apart from that he is a very friendly person, super easy to work with, the communication was fast and thorough - he really listens to the client and makes sure that all ideas are well answered. I'm looking forward to working with him again.

John Mark is my favorite producer I have worked with. He cares for the songs you bring to him as if they are his own. He creates a space that makes you feel like what you have to offer is valuable. His patience and kindness make him so easy and enjoyable to work with. He has an incredible ear for arrangement, whether it's chord structure or sounds or melodies. He has helped me take some of my small ideas and bring them fully to life.

When you first meet John Mark, you might miss the fact that he is deeply driven and cares endlessly about his craft, simply because he doesn't wave it in your face. He is understated and invitational in his approach to co-creating, and his process is flexible and accessible. His genius lies in the fact that he is often the most talented person in the room, yet genuinely listens to and cares for every other voice in the process. I've never felt so challenged during a recording process, yet so thrilled with the results.

John Mark is an absolute joy to work with. He is intuitive, collaborative, and has an ability to find the true heart of each song he works on. You can come to him with a barebones idea or a more fleshed out song and he knows just what to do to bring it to it's full potential. He takes the time to listen to and explore your vision, and has the talent and creativity required to bring it to life.
