Ben Fox Smith on SoundBetter

I was a grungey singer-songwriter signed at a young age with a band called Stony Sleep on Big Cat Records and then with Serafin on Elektra Records. I've made several albums in top studios around the world with producers like D.Sardy, John Cornfield, Machine, KK and Ian Caple... and I've toured with fancy people like Muse and Frank Black.

Some bragging and fun facts:
My biggest song Day by Day featured on a video game called John Madden NFL.
My single This Kitten is Clean was chosen as single of the week by Ozzy Osbourne.
I appeared on the Big Breakfast with Johnny Vaughn.
I played two nights at Brixton Academy supporting Muse. Almost broke my arm climbing over the gate to their manor because they lost their keys.
I went to school with Johnny from Razorlight and John from the Libertines.
I worked on two great films in 2024.
I now produce, record, mix and master professionally; mostly Indie/Rock.
I started producing my own records with a 4-track recorder and now have an excellent studio set-up with the highest quality guitars, mics, amps, pre-amps, plugins, keyboards and a piano. I have an alternative rock background and this is my speciality though I enjoy being unpredictable and experimental while retaining cohesion.
I'm also grade 8 piano and on course for a First in Music at Surrey University :)

    Stellar experience! Ben brought my song to life with his amazing vocals and brilliant guitars. We were targeting at a sort-of cover version of one of my old songs and Ben's contribution was literally breathtaking. Ben is easy to work with, fast, patient, and committed. Hire him!

    As an amateur, I turned to Ben for advice in a studio setting in recreating some songs as a passion project. What I didn’t realize was that I was working with a brilliant musician and guide through the musical process from concept, production, mixing and mastering at his studios. In addition, Ben is patient, shepherding a rookie like myself through countless takes, always encouraging and always kind and constructive with criticism. He is a veritable pleasure to work with. I encourage anyone to have a discussion with Ben on their musical goals.

    I am a Prog Rock composer and regularly call on Ben Fox Smith for whatever I may need for my often ambitious projects - some tight rythm guitars, vocal layering, Romantic piano work, mixing and mastering - he performs all these tasks professionally, accomadatingly and at great prices.
