I've answered phones for, swept up studios, ordered lunch for, worked with, sat in on,written for, produced Pop Stars like Mandy Moore,(Crush) Willa Ford, (I Wanna Be Bad) LFO, (Life Is Good) Rich Cronin (Billion Dollar Sound) along with Singer Songwriters from N.Y.C. to LA. Got the recording deal, went on tour and the rest is really history.
Today I do what I do to help others. I have developed a skill set over the decades to empower and inspire artists through their own talents! Artist Development is what leads the work I do today. A Great Producer helps an Artist find the best THEM!

Interview with Tommy Cangemi
Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: Edie Carey's CD "Call Me Home" I produced, engineered, recorded, played several instruments on and co-wrote a few songs on it. I'm proud of it because, I pulled Sean Pelton (SNL) on the drums that we tracked over at Unique Studios in NYC, put them on my drive and moved my rig into a house on the coast of Maine that we stayed in for two months to record the CD. I asked T-Bone Wolk (Hall & Oats) to drive up and lay down some bass and more. Edie is the ultimate Singer Songwriter that LIVES THE MUSIC LIFE of writing, performing live everywhere and always touring. Her truth is all throughout her music and it was an honor to work with her.
