Bastien "BAZ" Brisson on SoundBetter

Multi-instrumentalist with over 15 years of experience with music production, composition, engineering, mixing, and mastering for A-list clients in independent music (NOFX, Fishbones, Rare Americans), movies (Warner Chappell, Primary Wave) & TV (Discovery Channel).

My name is Bastien Brisson, also known as BAZ. I have been a musician, composer and music producer for the past 15 years.

With a Master degree in jazz and musicology, I can play and record drums (20 years of being studio and stage drummer), guitars (acoustic & electric), bass, piano & keys, saxophone (tenor) in many music styles.

As a composer, I'm also capable of providing scores for small ensembles, large orchestras and big band. In 2017, I have been invited over to California to work with Fat Mike of NOFX after I'm composed, scored and conducted a 50 piece orchestra rendition of his song called "The Decline". Since then, I have been involved in many projects including the production of studio releases of numbers of Fat Wreck Chords related acts (punk rock), The Aquadolls (indie) or the Broadway musical Home Street Home to name a few.

As a music producer, I can design with the greatest care custom loops for your hip-hop projects, help to find the artistic direction that will make your song reach its full potential, or score the soundtrack of your video project (documentary, tv show, advertising and movie).

    Working with Baz was one of the easiest and most rewarding collaborations I've ever been a part of. He was quick, efficient and professional - with had an almost telepathic understanding of my goals. He is a true artist and brought my production and composition to life in ways that I couldn't have foreseen. I would gladly work with him again and if you're reading this you should start immediately. You will be glad you did.

    I have worked with Baz in my band (The Humblers) and during production and I cannot say enough great things about him and his process. He has an amazing ability to take the very stripped down songs and demos I have written and turn them into a perfectly produced product from start to finish. His communication skills are unmatched — he really speaks the language of music and has been able to help me realize my potential as a songwriter and performer. Cannot recommend enough!!

    Baz is a musician like no other. His abilities and talent as a composer, musical arranger, musician and producer are fascinating. I was able to work with him on recordings and he knew how to get the best out of each of us. a great connoisseur of music (punkrock, ska, rock, jazz, reggae, etc.) he has successful and relevant ideas. very attentive to groups, he also knows how to come up with astonishing arrangements! this guy is destined to shine! There will be two types of people left in the end: those who worked with him before he was known and the others...who will wake up too late once again.

    BAZ is an extremely talented and creative musician, producer and composer. I have worked with him on many projects over the past years and his work has always been stunning, innovative and very well executed. He's a fast deliverer, has remarkable taste and is very flexible when it comes to special requests. I would absolutely recommend to work with BAZ!!

    I was familiar with some projects to which Baz had contributed and was looking someone who could challenge my songwriting, help me out with arrangements and provide a professional production quality for a pop-punk project. I have loved every minute of the process and am thrilled about how it turned out. Baz instantly understood the direction I had in mind all the while adding his own touch and has been very responsive throughout the process. Looking forward to working on a new project with Baz real soon!
