Brad Girard on SoundBetter

I am here to bring your ideas to life! One of my favorite collaborative ways to work is taking existing ideas and forming them into a banger -- whether it's a melody idea you have, basic lyrics, or just a few chords, I specialize in synthesizing those ideas into a radio-ready track.

I am a freelance songwriter, session guitarist/pianist, and producer. My favorite genres to work in are pop, RnB, and intimate acoustic ballads. However, I am open to any style! If you are needing assistance with sound selection for production, I'm your guy. If you've hit a writer's block on lyrics, I'm your guy. If you know you've got some catchy chords but you just can't find the right vocal melody to pair with them...I'm your guy! I love the collaborative process and can't wait to work together.

Interview with Brad Girard

Q: How would you describe your style?
A: Unique and catchy
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Don't work on one song for too long! You will wear out your ears and mind; work for a few hours then take breaks or come back to it with fresh ears the next day.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: Pop
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: Songwriting
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: Fresh concepts, interesting lyric ideas, hooky melodies, and unique instrumentation.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: I like to start with a chord progression and hum along a melody without thinking about lyrics. Then I will add variations into the melody for different song sections, and finally add lyrics towards the end.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: I am inspired by the pop songwriting heavyweights like Max Martin, Ryan Tedder, and Dan Nigro to name a few.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: The most common work I do is arranging/formatting ideas and chord progressions into a pop structure. I try to find something interesting about the lyrical content and formulate a good hook.
