I'm not here to tell you how to make your sound or what you should sound like. I'm here to take the palette I've worked on for 10+ years and use it to facilitate your own sound, and make sure you enjoy doing it!
I've been writing and recording songs since I was in middle school, and I'm constantly seeking ways to make new and unique music. I specialize in music production and creation, however I'm a multi-instrumentalist and adept vocal arranger.
I love doing anything from just an acoustic guitar track to a full blown production, from the initial demo stages to the final mix. Most of my songs I've worked on end up with their own individual sound and feel, and I'm not one to recycle tricks or tropes.
To be honest, I view myself more as a facilitator than a producer! I'm here to translate your ideas into reality, and add a professional touch when needed. You have an idea of how you want your song to sound, and my job is to use my experience and skill to make it happen.

Interview with Sam Roller
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Both! It just depends on what color you need to paint that picture.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: I think I bring a progressive approach to song creation, and to production in general. There's no "one way" to record something, and I'm a huge proponent of trying things that are off the wall.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: I work out of a medium sized room in my house! I've been tweaking and adding new things to my set up since I started, and I'm always working to expand what is available to me. A lot of what I do is manipulating sound through creative plug-ins and DAW techniques.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: I do a lot of "start to finish" work, where we collaborate on where we want the song to go, and make sure to get it there.
