Tom Nicholson on SoundBetter

I will make your tracks 100% Better by using specialist analog equipment to get your tracks to the next level. I Mix, Master, and even more...I produce as well! If you need any tracks done, I specialize in House, Pop, Hip Hop, etc. Pretty much everything under the sun.

Music has been my main interest and hobby since I was very young. I have always been interested in learning more about the construction of music and also what's behind the music industry, as I want to go into this as a career.

It all started when I was attending middle school, our teacher was using a program called "Cubase" to record vocals and instruments, it looked very interesting! After that, I downloaded a demo version of it and then went crazy for music production. I was making hip hop beats and random little recordings until I found another program called "Fl Studio".

Why Choose Me?

I have worked with artists from labels such as Kontor Records, Spinnin Records, Selected, Enormous Tunes, and Sirup Music with over 10 Years of experience in Music Production.
