Songwriter/Session Guitarist

Dee Payne Productions on SoundBetter

Music that just feels right starts with you, let's make songs for people to live to. My job is to help you score the most epic, beautiful, and memorable moments anyone has every had. With over 10 years of experience in the music industry I've worked with Grammy award winning producers and songwriters in hip-hop and R&B.

If there is one thing I have learned in from my experience in the music industry, it's less about your ideas and more about how you can connect with others. I would say my strongest skill set is addressing the needs of a song and conveying the intention of the song from the artist to the audience. Whenever I'm not writing lyrics I tend to find myself playing guitar for a litany of different people. Currently I've been working with Grammy Award winning producer Luke Crowder as a session musician and co producer. I have credits with Akeem Ali, Liana Banks, and more. Working with me gives you the space to fully explore your ideas and ensure your dreams reach those who need to hear it.

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