some artists call themselves Producers, but are really Beat-Makers. There's nothing wrong with beat-making, but by hiring me you're working with someone with an extensive background in shaping music and having it translate in the best way possible across all platforms. You can check-out how I work through my Zoom Webinar Masterclass Series too!
I've been engineering records on a professional level for 6 out of the 14 years of my career so far. On top of engineering, I'm primarily a jazz vocalist, but also play the piano, drums, trumpet, and really anything from a sound designer perspective. I do this more for the artists with whom I work, not necessarily the money for all of the work I do. My specialty is giving the clients something they heard in their head very quickly, they just didn't know how to articulate their thoughts...I'll get you where you want: whether it's a radio sound, something intimate and close to home, or the next top hit on a Spotify Playlist.

Pascal is what every producer should aspire to be.
His ear, the ability to catch not only what's heard but what needs to be heard is immaculate.
Honestly couldn't recommend him more. So so so talented, and overall just a really nice guy (which is important for working relationships!!)
Got way more than my money's worth and I'm sure you would to. Pascal treated my project with care and love and I'm sure he would with yours as well.
Always dependable, ever enthusiastic about helping others with their sound, and incredibly easy to work with. So diverse-no genre is too out there. AWESOME PRODUCER
Interview with producedbypascal
Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: Destiny Autumn's single "Why Couldn't You"...what an amazing record. I was the Producer and Engineer and it was a rollercoaster of features. Go check it out. The progression of the song is phenomenal and by the end it opens up to an intense space!
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: Couple things: RnB/Pop record, Singer-Songwriter record, Jazz Saxophone record, and planning new EPs with artists. I'm also teaching Zoom Webinar Masterclasses, which you can find out more about on my Instagram @producedbypascal
Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?
A: Matt Crawford! Great colleague of mine and occasional business partner. Have both of us and you'll never go with someone else.
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Doesn't really matter...does it sound good?
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: You'll always be proud of the work and I'll never settle otherwise.
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: I love my relationships with artists and the gratification I get from seeing how satisfied they are with my work.
Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A: How much do you charge? I answer...let me give you something you're happy with first and then we can discuss the value of my work. Of course, there's some sort of idea beforehand.
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: Producer versus Beat-Maker...I'm a Record Producer. Extremely different sides regarding what it takes to do each thing.
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: What do you want to do with what you're sending me? For example: Is it just for you to have? Do you want to pitch it to labels? Release it for streaming? Etc.
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: Only go with me if you trust me. It doesn't have to work out between us, but I prefer to make sure that you as the artist are always respected and valued. That's why the connection is usually one to last :)
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: The most souped-up Mac I can get, the best internet router, my iPhone for voice memos, Cape Cod chips, and my girlfriend (not a piece of gear, but a piece of my heart...awhhhhhh haha)
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: Around 14 years, professionally for around 6 years.
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: Someday...I think Charlie Puth and I would really compliment each other in the studio. It looks like we have a very similar work ethic and the ideas would be solidified so quickly.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Reduction can be more of a production tool than adding something to your music!
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: All kinds. Genre is just as subjective as time itself haha
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: What I bring to your song and being able to communicate with you in order to sustain a strong relationship.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: The ideas that are in your head, you just don't know it yet.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: Quincy Jones; Michael League, Nic Hard, and Snarky Puppy
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: Produce records in the recording studio, then take it back to my home studio and mix! Other than that, gigs here and there: editing, tuning, aligning, transcribing, writing, etc.
