So you've got this incredible idea...But you need someone to snatch that beautiful invention out of the ether and pull it down to reality. From guitar parts to full-scale productions, I am here to take your musical dreams to highest level possible.
I'm Gene Micofsky, a professional working guitarist of 20+ years. I have collaborated with companies such as Netflix, Comcast, Comedy Central, Beats and so many more. I have shared the stage with artists such as John Mayer, Charlie Daniels, Little Big Town, Joe Nichols and others. An important thing to know is I am basically a one-man production machine. I have an arsenal of acoustic and electric instruments, and software instruments for days. In 2020, I partnered up with Dan Konopka of OKGo, on his new venture called Siren Sound. Together we have produced records for artists all over the world. Whether you're getting a single guitar or a full production, your song will reach heights you never thought possible!

Endorse Gene Micofsky- check_circleVerified
I hired Gene as a bass player. Not only did he come up with a killer bass line, but he also gave me great suggestions to take the song to an even higher level. I also received the track under different formats, giving me plenty of choice for the mix. Great communication and super fast result! Highly recommended!
Interview with Gene Micofsky
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Both! Analog sounds incredible, but modern day work flow often demands situations that digital just works better
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: I love bringing a piece of music to life. Its one of the most satisfying experiences
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: I would take an acoustic guitar and a note pad. I would either end up writing a million songs, or none at all. I guess we'll see! High probability I'm half-naked and shouting at volleyballs.
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I have been a professional guitarist for 20 years. I have been the music director for country, rock and pop bands on the east coast, west coast and south. In the past decade I have worked with companies such as Netflix, Beats, Comcast, Comedy Central, and many others. In 2020, I partnered up with OkGo drummer Dan Konopka as guitarist and producer of Siren Sound, helping to produce a ton of indie records from all over the world.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: American rock idioms (rock, blues, Americana) fused with production aspects of the film score world.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: My service is always in favor of the song. I have an unmatched work ethic for helping artists achieve that vision.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: I have always felt that a well-written song speaks to you and tells you what it wants to be. I bring personality and character to the production.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: I generally like to start by having a conversation with the artist whether it's for guitar session work or a full on production. It's important that I get inside their head, so to speak, and deliver exactly what they're looking for. Sometimes I even surprise them in a good way by giving them something they didn't think of. Either way, the work begins and I generally turnaround projects fairly quickly. The artist is a part of the entire process.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I have a highly efficient home studio setup, providing enough firepower and resources to create a full-scale production without leaving the house. That said, I also have access to a wealth of performers that often assist in filling out productions when necessary.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: If you accomplish these two aspects in a productions, everything else will start to fall into place: An overall definable identity (even that identity is a hybrid) and one unique production element
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: Singer-songwriter, rock, pop.
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: You will never walk away from a project we've done together unsatisfied with the outcome.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: Guitar, bass and other instrumentation. Production. Arranging. Complimentary life coaching (kidding! but not really haha)
