Interview with Sammy Hakim

Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Less is sometimes more!
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I've got an sm7b and an avantone cv-12 that I use regularly. I run them through my apogee quartet and rokit 5's. I have a keyboard with midi capabilities and acoustic guitars which I mic up with sm57's.
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I've been working in music since I was 13 years old. My end goal is to help as many people as I can through songwriting.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: Any variation of pop music is where I find most of my session work these days.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: Lyric writing and vocals.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: A unique tone and perspective on raw emotion with technical finesse.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: With songwriting I usually feel the emotion of the topline or the room that I'm in and do my best to bring it to life with the lyrics and melody. If a client comes to me for vocals I do my best to ensure that I see their vision clearly and discuss what they're looking for with regards to tone of voice. Then I sit down and get to work tracking and editing each section until it feels right.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: These days I spend most of my time in songwriting sessions or working on toplines. With everything being virtual in the age of the pandemic, I often cut and produce the vocals on my own and send the song back to my collaborators.
