KdS on SoundBetter

Hello good people! I am a professional producer / mixing engineer offering quality production for a fraction of the price. My goal is to make the song you hear in your head, come out of the speakers!

I specialize in music production (beats), mixing, mastering, reference vocals, drum programming, live drum tracking, songwriting, etc.
No matter what you need, I'm definitely your go-to guy! I produce genres like... Pop, R&B, Gospel, EDM, Rap, Pop-Rock, Jazz, and I also produce music for sitcoms/commercials.
I've worked along side some of the greats, and like a sponge I've soaked up so much knowledge. I recently participated in a worldwide producer competition where I place top 15 out of 2000!
