Hip Hop & RnB Music Producer

Jonathan Vaughan Reed on SoundBetter

I'm J.Reed, I've been working in audio since 2017 and I specialize in RnB and Hip Hop Production, Mixing, and Songwriting. My journey into music began while facing jail-time, before my 21st birthday. In 2024, I completed ICON Collective's 16-month advanced music production program!

I'm a music producer, engineer, vocal producer, and songwriter from LA. I'm passionate and skilled at music production (vocals and instrumentals), recording & comping, and mixing music. I started making music in 2017 back in Northern Virginia, before moving to Philly for 2 years where I worked as a Studio Assistant at REC Philly, and then I moved to LA to go to ICON Collective for 1.5 years, at the beginning of 2024.

In school I began to network and be mentored by incredible musicians, engineers, producers, songwriters, etc.

With a background in making beats in FL studio for 5 years, and working with rappers, it took me moving to LA to really begin working on my own artist project VONICS which is alternative RnB and Hip Hop. My favorite artists to work with are affluent singers and songwriters who need help with vocal production, creating an instrumental, and recording + mixing their dream projects! Before moving to LA, I worked as a marketing manager, SEO, and copywriter for 2 years so if you need help with branding and marketing, that's also value I can provide your project.

Daws: Ableton 12, Protools, Fl Studio.
