Paul Whalley on SoundBetter

Over 10 years experience, Platinum Award Winning and over 1 Billion streams globally. I have Produced, Written & Mixed songs for over 250 different artists across almost every genre. Nominated for the 2024 & 2025 Music Producers Guild "Producer Of The Year" & "Writer/Producer Of The Year"

With over a decade of experience producing and mixing for hundreds of artists, I bring a deep musical understanding and a passion for creating unique, artist-driven soundscapes. My career began as a session musician before evolving into full-time production and mixing — a transition that taught me the importance of both artistry and technical precision.

I’ve written and produced more than 250 released songs across every major label and numerous leading independent artists. Based at Tileyard Studios in London since 2015, my private studio setup offers complete flexibility — from in-the-box production to analogue mixing and mastering — ensuring every project gets exactly what it needs.

Classically trained with a Master’s in Composition from The Guildhall School of Music, I combine a strong grasp of music theory and orchestration with years of hands-on experience across genres. Let’s craft something that captures your story and takes your music to the next level.

Interview with Paul Whalley

Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: Various albums and artist development projects. Helping Artists find their sound and create their vision.
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Both! You can't beat the ease of revisions digital brings but having access to analogue gear, both outboard and synths, gives you a unique sound every time.
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: I love getting to work on so many different genres and getting to transfer skills across them, for example a drum mixing trick I learned on a rock record might be the perfect solution for thickening up a vocal on a ballad or Rap track.
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: I always love to hear your references, to truly understand what you're aiming for and to be able to speak the same language about a record.
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I began working in studios as a session musician. Originally doing arrangements for strings & brass on various records I gained a knowledge of Pro Tools & Analog recording before transitioning into Writing & Production.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Clean up that low end! Don't be scared of carving or worried if something sound weird on its own. If it sits well with everything else then that's the magic.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: Attention to detail. I love diving in on every little corner and finding those little fixes or hidden bots of magic that can make a record.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I have a large recording space in the heart of London with a mixture of many pieces of classic equipment and modern items that allow me to craft whatever sound is needed and make it unique every time!
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: Production & Mixing. Be that being there form the writing of a song or coming in at the end to bring the final touches to it, I'm always happy to try anything to final that last 2% magic!
