Michael Palma on SoundBetter

As a jazz keyboardist, I have recorded on popular albums such as "Swagism" - Ghost Note, and "Free Fall" - Melissa Aldana. As a pop co-writer, my credits include "Silver and Gold" - Yung Bae, "L.O.V.E." - Yung Bae feat. EARTHGANG, Jon Batiste & Sherwyn, and "Secret Sundays" - K.H. I specialize in creating original "vintage samples" for artists.

I’m a professional session keyboardist and pianist with 34 years of experience, 27 of them as a working musician. I’ve had the honor of performing with legends such as Wynton Marsalis, Esperanza Spalding, Melissa Aldana, Delfeayo Marsalis, Jimmy Cobb (drummer on Kind of Blue), Ghost-Note, Robert "Sput" Seawright, Paquito D’Rivera, Roy Hargrove, Nate Werth, and many more.

2 records in particular that you can hear me playing are on "Swagism" - Ghost Note and "Free Fall" - Melissa Aldana. I also have co-writing credits with artists such as Yung Bae and K.H.

I record in my professional home studio using an iMac 2020 (3.6 GHz 10-Core Intel Core i9, 96 GB RAM) and Ableton Live. My setup includes an Apollo Twin X interface, a vast selection of industry-standard software from UA, SSL, Waves, Izotope, and Slate Audio, and an extensive collection of synths, including Serum, Sylenth, Arturia Vintage Synths, UA Moog & Rhodes, and the Korg Legacy Series. I also have access to a Yamaha upright piano and a Steinway Baby Grand, though I often utilize high-quality virtual instruments depending on the project’s needs.

With my professional setup, I provide high-quality recordings with a quick turnaround and the flexibility to meet any deadline. In addition to piano and keyboards, I offer composition, arranging, production, and vocal tuning with Melodyne. Let’s bring your music to life!
