John Boch on SoundBetter

I help artists bring their tracks to life with real piano, Leslie, synths, and basses for authentic sounds. With 10+ years experience backing R&B, jazz, & gospel artists like Antwaun Stanley, Doug Sides, & Shana Wilson in Detroit and London, you can expect seasoned professionalism and musicianship on every session.

Even with great songwriting and production, tracks often lack a certain special 'something', especially in genres like soul, gospel, funk, or R&B.

MIDI tracks, loops, samples, and virtual instruments can sound great, but my clients often find these tools start to box them in, making tracks feel generic and canned.

This is where I come in, working with artists and producers to craft polished, album-ready tracks that feel fully alive.

With over a decade of experience as a professional musician and a studio equipped with a piano, bass guitars, Leslie speaker, and analog synths, I provide the skillset and tools artists need to bring their sounds into reality.

As an accomplished bassist and keyboardist, I'm prepared to take on a wide range of projects. My training includes mentorship from jazz legends, like Barry Harris, Geri Allen, and Bob Hurst. I've worked professionally in both the Detroit and London scenes with artists like Antwaun Stanley, Shana Wilson, Jax Anderson, Jack Hues, Deelee Dube, Doug Sides, and many more.

Alongside musicianship, I bring professionalism and communication to every session. I want to know your vision and help bring it into reality, integrating your instructions and feedback along the way.

    Came to John with 2 jobs and he absolutely nailed them both. Super blown away by the work he did. He went above and beyond in all the right ways and the music is so much richer for it!

    Musicians like John are rare. Super talented, but also INCREDIBLY communicative and intuitive. Talent is such a small part of the equation in the music business. John not only nailed the part but everything surrounding the job as well.

    With very little input needed John gave me exactly what I needed in his Bass and Wurlitzer takes for my song. His free playing style and adaptable musicianship made him the perfect candidate for these parts - blending straight-ahead indie rock with psychedelic and fusion influences to make the final pieces of this track come together with complete cohesion! Once again, could not be happier with John's performances and quick turnaround.

    John was the perfect fit for my project! His professional attitude and concise communication style was invaluable in pushing the last few missing pieces of my track over the finish line. John worked quickly with consistent and clear communication throughout and honestly I couldn't be more happy with my experience of working with them - and the work speaks for itself!

    I could not be happier with John. His bass playing is exceptionally technical, creative, and well executed. His parts were recorded well and he was able to find a nice balance for his bass to sit well in the mix on my track. He was open to feedback and willing to make changes to suit my creative vision. Additionally he was very professional and timely. I would most definitely choose John again to play bass/organ/piano when I need him.
