Manny Perez on SoundBetter

MUSIC YOU CAN FEEL! I will do whatever it takes to take your song up a billion notches. If you're looking for someone to pull out all the stops to make your song a smash, i'm the guy to see!

I offer a bespoke music production service. Everything from creating thoughtful arrangements, crafting hard hitting beats, hiring some of the best musicians to come in and play on your song, and getting it mixed and mastered. What matters is the final product.

I've been making beats for over nearly 25 years and have had the chance to rub a couple elbows in the music industry. I got my introduction to the industry working under the legendary Ty Fyffe, who helped me learn what it takes to make a hit record, which led to gaining a few notable credits (50 Cent, G-Unit, Fabolous, Ma Barker) and helping to craft a Grammy winning hit (Childish Gambino - Redbone).

Over the years, i've touched many genres of music and i'm equally good at all of them. I bring the best out of the song and the artist.

Quotes for production vary by song. Whether its programming a trap beat or bringing in a jazz ensemble, I will charge fairly for the amount of work needed on the song. Depending on what is needed will also determine the turnaround time.

I have an engineer I work very closely with, so production, mixing AND mastering can all be done in house.

I will receive 50% of the writer/publishing share for any work completed.

Would love to hear from you. Click the contact button above to get in touch.

Interview with Manny Perez

Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: The project I'm most proud of is my placement on 50 Cent's album Before I Self Destruct. At the time I was producing, there were a lot of naysayers, and that shut them up. I produced the track "The Invitation".
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: Vision and song first, followed by production.
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: Making some hot pop records to shop around.
Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?
A: Brand spanking new here, but there are a lot of awesome talent on here!
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: My promise is to deliver a hit record.
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: I have the freedom to make whatever I want!
Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A: Question: "You made that?" Answer: "Yes".
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: The biggest misconception is my ability to create so well in multiple genres. Someone could watch me make a track from start to finish and still won't believe that I did it!
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: I would say TOTALLY ignore my body of work. Just because you see a ton of hip-hop and pop records doesn't mean I couldn't produce a rock song etc.
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: A computer, fl studio, m-box mini, a mic, and a pair of headphones.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: When it comes to hip hop records, I make very sinister sounding tracks.
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: I'd love to work with The Interrupters because I LOOOOOVEE Aimee Allen's voice.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: One tip I can share is either be yourself, or if you're going to run with a style, do it way better than the person you stole it from.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: Mostly pop records.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: My strongest skill is being able to work in any genre, and all of them equally well! This usually hurts me, because I don't have a "sound" that people can identify with, but I sacrifice it for musical genius.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: I have a crazy talent of hearing what's not there, and then bringing it out in a song. It's usually the icing on the cake!
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: Currently I rock out with FL Studio and M-Audio Trigger Finger Pro. Anything else I need I would normally take into a studio and jam with some session musicians or hop on an instrument myself.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: To me, inspiration comes from many places... one day it could be Elton John or Pilot, the next day Vivaldi, Max Martin, or Lex Luger.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: Most of the work I have done has been hip hop and pop records.
