Nicolas Neidhardt on SoundBetter

Award-winning producer & composer with several #1 European hit single, specializing in premium Pop, Hip-Hop, and Epic Cinematic Hybrid productions that give independent artists a Massive, major-label Sound.

I am a Los Angeles-based, award-winning producer and composer with 40 years of international success across the US and Europe. As co-founder of RIVAL, I operate a state-of-the-art studio built for radio-ready, cinematic depth. My track record includes a #1 European chart hit, 7 seasons scoring prime-time TV, and high-end trailer productions for blockbusters like *Blade Runner 2049, Jurassic World,* and *Napoleon*.

My philosophy is simple: I treat your track with the exact standard of excellence required by major studios and labels. Whether you need an epic pop/hip-hop hybrid arrangement or a pristine, hard-hitting mix, I provide the 'golden ears' and elite instincts to get your song radio-ready.

**How I Work:**

1. **Discovery:** We dive into your demo or stems to align on your creative vision and commercial goals.
2. **Production & Mix Pass:** I build or polish your track using premium hybrid tech, elite orchestral modeling, and flawless analog processing.
3. **Collaborative Revisions:** We refine the track together until it matches exactly what you hear in your head.

    A top notch figure in the music industry whom I would highly recommend. I had a very tight project where we needed programming to be delivered on a very fast pace. Nicolas was able to meet all deliverables in higher than expected quality and on time. He has been extremely collaborative and accommodative for changes, and demonstrated a very highly collaborative spirit. It was a great pleasure to work with Nicolas and I can only assure that this will not be the last time.

    We partnered with Nicolas and his company on a tribute video for the late beloved director Jean Marc Vallee. Nicolas' amazing taste, talent, and skill were clearly demonstrated in his work, regardless if it's a major studio project or an indie community project. On top of that, his commitment to authenticity and making music with a heart is what our industry desperately needs. Simply extraordinary.

    Nicolas and I have been working together for about 9 years now and he has just been an absolute gem to work with. He is equally talented in composing as he is in producing.
    Always has the best damn sounds and works so much faster than anyone I know.
    From feature Films to songs to Major film Trailers.... He does it all.....Magnificently!

    It is always a great pleasure to work with Nicolas.
    He combines 2 very rare qualities that make him a unique professional partner: he is extremely precise and serious about work and organization, and he is also extremely clever and creative in the composition and production process. Nicolas adds that little touch so classy and unique...
    I can't imagine not working with him again!

    Nicolas and I have been working together for 5 years now. He is a great professional and a highly talented partner who always puts his whole heart into every project. He is an amazing producer/composer and a wonderful person to work with!

    by Andy Ross

    I have worked as a music supervisor on over a 150 films and commercials and Nicolas is always one of the first people I call when I have a difficult cue or song. Over the past 10 years he has bailed me out on so many occasions, on ridiculous deadlines and over so many different genres. He always achieves the sonic goal I am looking for, is a pleasure to work with and is a total professional. If you can explain it, he can create it!

    Nicolas is a great team player, talented producer and a great professional. It is always a great pleasure collaborating with him. His extensive international network, fluency in several languages and broad understanding of the music scene place him a head above most producers out there.

    I've been working with Nicolas for few months now. Everything has always been clear, precise and honest. His insights, goodwill and connections within the industry are truly appreciated. On top of that, Nicolas is a genuine musician/producer as well as a human-being. I highly recommend working with him and wish our collaboration to last.

    Nicolas and I have been working together for at least 6 years now. His insight, connections within the industry, musical and organizational prowess, and time/project management in the studio have all been extremely invaluable to our working relationship. On any given project, I know that everyone, from the artist to the studio personnel/musicians/writers, is in good hands with Nicolas on board.
