Tahlia Gabrielle on SoundBetter

Looking for high quality instrumentation, production, and/or mixing? I specialize in Christian, Worship, CCM, Indie, & Pop. Let's create a hit! As an indie artist myself, I understand what it's like to have a vision in mind for your song. I can help you bring that vision to life. I do remote production, live session instrumentation, mixing, & more.

My name is Tahlia and I'm a proficient multi-instrumentalist, producer, mixing engineer, and songwriter. I am the founder of Rhythm City Recording, a remote recording and production company. I am also the Production Director for Lighthouse Christian Center in Puyallup, WA. I have many noteworthy accomplishments in the music industry like winning international drum competitions, being chosen as a Washington State Ambassador of Music, and mentoring under multi-Grammy winning sound engineers. I have a huge heart for the Lord and I love to work like-minded artists that use their musical gifting to worship the Lord and bless His people with encouraging and relatable songs. Whether you are looking for a full production or just someone to lay down a live drum track, I'm your gal!

Check out some of the ways we could collaborate:
- Full-Instrumentation Production (live and/or midi)
- Partial Production (including vocal comps, arranging, programmed midi tracks, sound design, etc.)
- Mixing
- Songwriting and Co-writing
- Live Session Drum & Percussion Tracks
- Touring Drummer
- Podcast or Voiceover Editing & Mastering

One principle I like to set in the production process is to take influence from many of your favorite genres and create a sound that is completely unique, while still remaining grounded in your musical taste. Let's make you stand out!

Tahlia is a great drummer. I hired her to play regularly for my church and plan to hire her to record in the future. She's a pro.

Tahlia is AMAZING to work with. I have worked with her as a drummer and producer. She always does a great job collaborating with me and making sure my song is turning out exactly like I want it to.
