Music producer. You bring the ideas. I'll make it sound amazing. I've worked with rock acts like RHCP and The Wombats and pop stars such as Girls Aloud and K-pop legends ShinEE. I also work as a curator for a record label who offer sync opportunities. Unlimted free revisions. I want you to be100% happy with the mix!
UPDATE - Some of Simon's (AKA WeatheredMan) work has recently hit #1 in 43 countries around the world (including US iTunes) thanks to his songwriting on the SHINee album "Don't Call Me"!
Just send me your ideas - voice notes/acoustic/half-finished are all fine with me - and we can go from there. I'm looking for new talent from around the globe to work with. Love a zoom to meet with any clients first - it's very important to make sure we can chat freely during the creative process!

This was my 2nd time working with Simon. He delivered the best quality production I've ever gotten from anyone for a VERY reasonable price. He's so patient on top of being immensely talented. His instrumentation skills are superb and he can nail any genre you want. My best experience so far on SoundBetter!

Simon is an absolute master producer, arranger and mixer. It was a struggle to find the right person who could take my song to the next level and Simon did not disappoint. He's also very friendly and patient in addition to his top-notch talent. I've already commissioned him to start working on my next song! Highly recommend!!!

Interview with WeatheredMan Music
Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: So the track that is on my listing by Tori Smith I'm currently really proud of because I think its exactly what I'm looking to do - great, modern, pop music but with real feel and authenticity. It just landed beautifully.
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Analog. But you know I totally appreciate the digital revolution...
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: 2 albums for a UK artist. Loads of sync work (both corporate and for TV/Film). Tracks for artists that are attached to my management company. More K-Pop work!
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Less is more people!
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: Approachability.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: Very much depends on the situation and what the client is brining in terms of ideas and inspiration. But you know...a few discussions, maybe an online rehearsal and discussion around performance, couple of days recording and a couple of days mixing...
Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?
A: Brent March. Top top producer.
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: That I won't stop working on the song until it's exactly where you want it to be.
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: Everything. It's the best and has always been my dream.
Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A: Just about my experiences. I've got tonnes of old stories about all of this as answers. But this isn't about me. It's about your song...
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: That it is in some ways glamourous. It's lovely but it ain't fancy...
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: What does this song sound like in your head?
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: That using someone on Soundbetter is a brilliant idea. I wish I had this amount of access to experienced and amazing producers when I was in bands! Speak to a few people. See if they get where you're coming from...
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: My Gretch Baritone guitar. Aston mic. Logic Pro. Black Box Saturation. Valhalla Reverb.
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: Songwriting for nearly 30 years. Signed indie bands through out my 20's. Producer for 15 years. Loved music since the womb.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: Authentic.
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: Right now? Billie Eilish.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: Alternative and independent music has been my staple for years but you know I've just co-written a track for K-Pop behemoths Super M so anything goes really. I just like it to have some soul and honesty...
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: Texture. Experience. The ability to successfully put together the client's vision for the song.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: Simple. Nice pre amp and soundcard. Lots of fine sounding instruments. And I'm very much a less is more producer in terms of plugins - I've got a few excellent ones and and I know how to us them well!
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: Jack White. Beck. Daft Punk. People who use technology to make something sound very, very human.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: I usually help work on the composition - both music and lyrics - and then produce, mix and master the track. All of this though is in total collaboration with the artist. I'm very much here to make sure the client gets the outcome they were looking for.
