Fryderyk HD on SoundBetter

Pianist, Keyboardist, Music Producer, Mixing Engineer

Multi-genre session/touring pianist, mixing engineer and studio producer with deep musical and technical roots — I’d love to help bring your visions to life :)

I grew up in Warsaw, trained in classical/jazz piano sound engineering and have spent years honing my craft across genres. Whether it’s expressive acoustic piano, cutting-edge sonic design, jazz-inspired textures, ambient soundscapes, modern electronic elements, neo - soul or funk grooves - I bring both musical sensitivity and technical precision to every project.

I’m equally comfortable creating polished piano and keyboard parts, producing full arrangements, mixing tracks, — from songs to visual media. My work blends influences from jazz, rock, fusion and electronic music into a sound that’s emotive, dynamic and unique.

I’ve studied at prestigious institutions like Berklee College of Music Frederic Chopin University of Music and have collaborated with major international artists in both performance and studio projects.

My approach is collaborative, flexible, and goal-driven. I focus on understanding artistic intent and delivering professional, emotionally resonant results that, I'm sure, will elevate your music.

Check out my work and let’s make something meaningful together — I’d love to hear about your project!

Interview with Fryderyk HD

Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: Recently I was asked to make piano-only instrumental covers of songs from the biggest artist in Poland. The recordings were played on the stadium just before her show - two nights in a row. Although I wasn't playing live on stage, I was incredibly proud of that. Sidenote: I was performing on that stadium just a week later :)
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: I am currently working on my second progressive fusion jazz album that I want to release this year. Apart from that I am producing songs for several artists in different styles - pop, indie, singer-songwriter, hiphop/soul. I also work as a touring musician and music director.
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: I love every work I do.
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: Music has no boundaries!
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: Do you have a clear stylistic reference? What are your deadlines?
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I started out as a classical pianist which laid a lot of technical foundations. I pursued sound engineering studies because I knew I wanted a path of becoming a music producer. Later on I started playing more and learning Jazz at Berklee College of Music in Boston. Nowadays my professional life is a hybrid of all these skills.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: Listen and adapt.
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: Bruno Mars. Because he is the king of music. Also I would love to work with such artists/songwriters like Ryan Tedder, Amy Allen. I love soulful stuff so I'd love to work with Olivia Dean, Teddy Swims. It would be an absolute blast and fun to be a part of projects like Snarky Puppy, Vulfpeck, Brasstracks or Lawrence.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Don't be afraid of mistakes. Or even approach them!
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: Music that is music :)
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: It's the ability to understand the music from various sides, no matter the genre. Whether it's theoretical, emotional or technical.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: All my skills ever learnt from countless hours of loving the art that I make, which is music :)
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I work from home and can record acoustic upright piano as well as grand piano which I can record with AKG 414 mkii and Chandler Limited TG. In most circumstances though recording with VSTs is enough, I own many piano libraries - Keyscape, Grandeur, Modartt and more. I own Studiologic SL88 GT mk2 that has a top notch keybed which emulates natural touch as close as possible. I have Nord Stage 4, Juno X, Prophet 6, Roland GAIA SH-01, Behringer MS1 mkii. When I want to go experimental - I put them through pedals (Chroma Console, Chase Bliss Mood, Strymon Bigsky and Timeline). For music production I also use Bass guitar, Electric Guitar and Acoustic guitar when needed.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: I love all music producers/artists who are crazy about both musical technical aspects of their art, such as Jacob Collier, Charlie Puth or Ryan Tedder. They are usually omni-buses and can do everything and seem like complete nerds. My type of people :)
