Luke Rhodes on SoundBetter

Pop and R&B songwriter and producer delivering release ready songs for independent artists and media projects. Worked with 100 plus clients internationally as producer, songwriter and session musician.

I’m a pop and R&B songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist working with independent artists who want a modern, emotionally focused and release-ready sound.

My background includes over 100 completed projects as a producer, songwriter, mix engineer and session musician for international clients, alongside original music released under my own artist project.

I mainly work in pop, dance pop and contemporary R&B, with influences ranging from disco pop to modern urban pop.

I collaborate remotely with artists across Europe and the United States, working both from demos and from scratch ideas.

I can help with:
• Songwriting and topline writing
• Music production and arrangement
• Vocal production and comping
• Pop and R&B mixing
• Session instruments and additional production
• From drafts to release-ready tracks

If you’re looking for a reliable collaborator who understands both the creative and technical side of music, I’m happy to talk about your project.

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

    The recording is beautifully done, the acoustic guitar sounds crisp and professional and has a lovely tone. Not to mention, the timing is perfect and the recording really has character. I am very much looking forward to using this in a final recording and would definitely use Luke's services again.

  14. A: “Can you make it sound professional?” Yes, the goal is always to deliver a finished, release ready track, not just a demo.

  15. Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?

  16. A: That production is just about sound quality. In reality, it’s about shaping emotion, structure, and identity so the song actually connects.

  17. Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?

  18. A: What’s the goal of the song Who is the artist and audience Do you have references you love What stage is the project in When do you want it released

  23. Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?

  24. A: I’ve been writing, producing, and releasing music for over a decade. I started as a songwriter and artist myself, then gradually expanded into full song production for other artists and visual media.

  25. Q: How would you describe your style?

  26. A: Modern, melodic, and song focused. I aim for clean, emotional pop production that supports the vocal and enhances the story without overproducing.

  27. Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?

  28. A: I’m drawn to artists who balance strong pop identity with emotional depth. I enjoy working with performers who care about songwriting and storytelling as much as production.

  29. Q: Can you share one music production tip?

  30. A: Always prioritize the song over the sound. A great vocal performance and strong arrangement will carry a mix much further than plugins or technical tricks.

  31. Q: What type of music do you usually work on?

  32. A: Modern pop and pop R&B. I mostly work with artists looking for contemporary, melodic songs with strong toplines, clean production, and a polished, release ready sound.
