Retro 60s Songwriter/Producer

L.A. Smog Music, Co. on SoundBetter

Obsessed with the 1960s is an understatement. L.A's Mario Garcia is a soul born of the modern day, but belonging to era long gone, but hardly forgotten. He brings groove, color and luminosity with sonic landscapes that transport listeners to a world where yesteryear and present-day exist harmoniously.

Crafted with organic and vintage instruments, we deliver a kaleidoscope of sounds that grab you from the first note. You can hear influences from the early 60s—Dick Dale, Howlin' Wolf, The Beatles—to the later 60s—The Doors, MC5, James Brown and everything in between. But! This is not a project built on purism; influences span all decades, genres, and styles; The Kids, Ramones, The Cramps to La Luz, The Frowning Clouds, MOOON, and countless more.

I’ll send you an mp3 rough mix for your approval, do one round of revisions for free if needed, then once you approve, I will send all stems as 24bit 48k wav files dry/raw, completely edited. Reach out to discuss!

*1 free revision round is included. Revisions are a handful of small changes, not a rerecording.
*Turn around times are from 3 days to 1 week based on availability. Expedite fee under 48hrs when available.
*The songwriting price is a fee and does not void my right to royalties unless we agree to a buyout.
