Have a song you wrote and need production for? I am fluent in guitar, bass, drums, and keyboard and only require a topline to start making your track. No topline? No worries, we can do the entire song together from scratch. I am super flexible with edits and will work with you from conception to completion to make sure you love the final product!

Interview with Brock

Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: I get to create something new everyday that never existed
Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: Whenever I write a new song that I like I'm proud. Little wins keep you going in this industry
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: I'm developing a few artists set to release in 2020 that I'm really excited about.
Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?
A: Yes! Zach Striar is close collaborator of mine and a raw producer especially if you're looking for hip hop/r&b beats
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Analog instruments, digital everything else. EQ can fix a lot, but analog synths and instruments just have a more human touch.
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: That I will put 100% effort into my work and will devote everything I have to make sure we are both completely satisfied with the finished product.
Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A: How much is your rate? Email me.
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: Time. Some great songs take a day to make, some shitty songs take a long time to make, and vice versa. There is no rule of thumb.
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: What's your goal and what's your timeframe.
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: Every producer, writer, topliner, etc. has their own style and sense of "what's good". It's important that lines up with you.
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: Oh lawd...uhm, probably a solar generator, my Apollo, my laptop, the SM7b, and my acoustic guitar
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I'm from MS originally and moved to LA a little over 8 years ago to pursue music. All-in-all, it's been about 13 years since I started producing and writing music.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: My main instrument is guitar, and I love records that have a dance feel. I gravitate towards that.
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: Adam Levine. I get compared to him a lot vocally, and I think it's time we settle the score (lol, jk, but seriously).
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: LA-2A
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: Mainly Pop, but I also have an extensive background in Alt Rock, EDM, and most recently K-Pop
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: I'd say my strongest skill is making a song catchy
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: Great songs to me are catchy, so I strive to make a song as catchy as possible be it with the vocal melody, arrangement, or instrumentation
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: Depends on what I'm doing. If I'm writing, I'll start with chords. If I'm toplining, I'll write melodies until I find one that really hits me. If I'm producing, I'll put on my headphones and got into the vortex until I come out the other side with a finished song.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I work off an iMac Pro and completely in the box. I have a range of guitars and run them through a Kemper for tones. For vocals, I use an SM7B or a Neumann TLM103 depending on the artist/singer and run it through my Universal Audio chain. I've got a full room fit for recording vocals and single band members - not a full band and no live drums.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: Max Martin is my all-time inspiration. His pop sensibility is unmatched and his career has been nothing short of legendary
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: I do a lot of writing sessions and work with writers, producers and artists. I have a home studio, so most of my sessions are hosted at mine where I'll produce as well as write
