Jordan Ezquerro on SoundBetter

Hello! My name is Jordan, and I'm a producer, session keys player, arranger, and engineer based in Nashville. I am part owner/operator of an independent and multi-room recording studio as well, so my clients will have access to a recording space with all of the standard gear to will give your project the professional sound you've been looking for!

I graduated class of 2021 with a B.A. in Film Scoring from Berklee College of Music in Boston. My early background begins in orchestral writing and orchestrating, so I have a keen ear and sense of what will work together in a production, as well as a confident vision for the final product. In focusing more on song production and recording, I get a thrill out of developing the song from its early seeds of inspiration into its full potential and eventually the final product! Whether your musical idea has only been recorded on a voice memo or in a multi-tracked demo, I'm able to help artists develop their work into a full-fledged production that can be commercially released.

In addition to serving as a producer, I am also a competent keyboardist with nearly 20 years of playing experience. Primarily on piano, I enjoy playing in a variety of contemporary styles including R&B, pop, funk, and rock.

I have access to a multi-room recording space complete with highlights such as an Audient 8024 analog console, Sonor drums and isolation room, a 1920 Cable Company upright piano, three additional isolation booths, various microphones, and analog synthesizers. I typically work in Pro Tools or Logic depending on the project, and have an expansive library of virtual instruments and plugins for endless creative possibilities!

I'd love to hear about your project. Click the 'Contact' button above to get in touch.

Interview with Jordan Ezquerro

Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Never expect the end product to be exactly as you planned; you'll find that some things just don't work well after trying them, and you'll find unexpected things that work better instead!
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: Lately, most of what I've worked on has been in the realm of Americana/Folk and pop.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: Being easy to work with and a great collaborator! To me, these skills come before anything music-related.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: The work process varies between clients, but the first step is always getting to know them as a person - this is the most important step. From there, we can figure out exactly what they're looking for so that I can provide the best and most professional product possible.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: My studio setup (which is available to all clients) is a multi-room space complete with a control room, live room, drum isolation room, three additional isolation booths, and a production suite. Some gear highlights include an Audient 8024 analog console, Mac M1 Studio with Pro Tools and Logic, a collection of microphones, and various analog synths.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: Two people that come to mind are Max Martin and Robert Glasper. Max Martin has a perfected sense of knowing exactly what a track needs in the simplest way possible, and as a result, everything he touches can be understood by a worldwide audience. Robert Glasper is not only a world-class keys player, but a phenomenal producer as well that collaborates with a never ending list of other incredible artists. The way he approaches production is through large-scale collaboration, with multiple featured artists on every track of his later work.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: The most common type of work typically starts with singer-songwriters who are looking transform their work into a fully-fledged production. This can start with either a finished song that's in a demo stage, or something that's not quite fully finished and needs refining and additional input before the tracking of the final product can begin. From there, a game plan can be formed for the production steps, which always looks different depending on the artist and the genre. I personally haven't experienced any two tracks being exactly the same in the process, which is something that I aspire towards. This way, the work that I do does not sound "copy and paste" from artist to artist with a formula that's been repeated over multiple times.
