Aratus on SoundBetter

I'm a Pop Songwriter/Producer. I've produced music for industry topliners including Selena Gomez writer, Shane Stevens and Rihanna writer, Rob A.

I have 15 years of experience composing and producing music in contemporary Pop genres. I specialize in Pop, EDM, R&B, and HipHop. I've worked with artists of all experience levels. I'll help make your song the best it can be.

It doesn't matter if you're starting with a complete song demo recording or only written lyrics. I have extensive experience producing instrumentals, writing topline vocal melodies, and lyrics. I work with artists 1-on-1 to turn their song ideas into competitive Pop productions. Tell me about your project, what you hope to achieve, and I'll deliver the production that realizes your vision.

Brian made this project super easy for me. He knew exactly what he wanted and explained it perfectly. I look forward to working with him again in the future!

Aratus is super talented and versatile and professional. He is an excellent songwriter and producer and remixer - with the right balance of credibility and commerciality, and is a delight to work with. My artists love to work with him too. I have worked with some of the world's best producers and songwriters for my multi platinum selling and MOBO Award winning UK girl group Mis-Teeq - and Aratus is definitely up there with them in terms of talent and professionalism.

Interview with Aratus

Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Melody is king. All instrumentation/production elements of a song should serve the main melody/topline.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: I have a conversation with the artist about the type of song they'd like to create. A shared vision emerges, and then I help them achieve their goal. Sometimes I'll start by producing music. Other times, the artist will start with a topline idea. I accommodate the artist's work process, enabling them to be their best.
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: Take the time to decide what type of song you want. Providing a reference song demonstrating the genre/style you're looking for helps tremendously.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: Pop, EDM, and R&B music.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: Music theory. My strongest skill is my ability to compose on-demand to bring the client's song idea to life.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: Max Martin, Zedd, Skrillex
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: I primarily produce instrumentals for topliners pitching songs to pop artists. I also work 1-on-1 with artists, composing/producing songs on-demand for them to preform based on their direction.
