Skull Smith on SoundBetter

I'm always up for a new musical challenge, be it writing music for your lyrics, lyrics for your music, mixing a new genre, or lending my voice to your creation. I could write music every day of my life, and I could mix it every other day. Why wait until tomorrow to turn both of our pipe dreams into non-pipe realities?

I work (and play) with digital synthesizers and such to create empowering soundscapes.

At any given moment, music in some form is playing in my head. Thus, the process of composing and writing music has always come very intuitively. I've learned to produce and mix over the years (through a combination of formal training and mad scientist experiments), which has since become as enjoyable an experience as composition and writing. Come to think of it, I enjoy every part of song-building--even manual de-essing--so I welcome any new opportunity to jump into Reason and perform some form of musical alchemy.

As an artist myself, I strive to ensure professional, radio-grade quality in each of the steps of my song-building process. My vocals must be spotless. My music and lyrics must flow like a smooth river of peanut butter and jelly. And the overall sound quality must be pristine. I strive to ensure this level of quality is reached with the music of other artists just as I do with my own.

Despite having been born in the 90s, I've spent 20+ years listening to 80s music (surely you've heard of the 80s/20 rule), so that style of production is heavily ingrained.
