Phoebe Danskin on SoundBetter

Hi! I write, produce, and mix music for artists and for Film/TV. My main genres are electronic based pop, hip hop, hybrid cinematic, orchestral pop -- been doing it professionally for 15+yr. I've had placements with Toyota/Apple Music, Six Flags/Coca Cola, KFC, Maybelline, HP Inc, Meta, Mattel, Netflix, NBA, MTV, GT BMX, TBS, and more.

[Not currently accepting new collabs]

I am open and flexible, but most commonly I work one of two ways:
1.) A songwriter and/or artist hires me to produce their pre-written song:
--> Send me your demo and we'll chat about your vision! Please also send me some examples of reference material to give me some context as for where you're imagining production could be headed

2.) An artist, or other type of client hires me to write/produce an instrumental, or co-write/produce an entire track.
--> Send me some examples of material you like as a stylistic example and we can discuss workflow for the next steps. I typically transform tracks after all the pieces are in place on my own, with feedback from the client.

There's no better feeling than when clients are ecstatic with my work! Your project is important to me. I'm usually a quality-over-quantity type person, although I am also accustomed to working on tight deadlines. Let me know what type of timeline flexibility we have!

I work with multiple sync agencies on a regular basis and would be happy to pitch your music if the fit is right. Exploiting licensing opportunities means more $ and exposure for everyone :)

I don't usually work on songs that are entirely comprised of real players playing real instruments. I'm more comfortable producing modern material with a combo of electronic + organic type sounds.

Interview with Phoebe Danskin

Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: I am especially proud of my StickyBomb moniker (repped by Marmoset Music). This is where I fuse orchestral and EDM to create some of the most epic hybrid trailer music you can imagine.

Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A: Can you turn my demo into an awesome pro sounding song? Yes, I can.

A: Most recently, I've been working on freelance writing and production for sync licensing. History: Graduated from the Berklee College of Music in 2011 (Music production & Engineering + Electronic Production & Design). Moved to Los Angeles, worked at Paramount Studios, did freelance work for Maker Music, Waypoint Films, David Jost, Shavo Odadjian, Handcrafted Music, Deyan Audio, and Soundscape Productions.

A: Make sure your budget matches what you're asking, and the quality you're seeking.
