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!

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

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.
