Kay Petersen on SoundBetter

Music for international ads like Ferrero, Montblanc, Stihl and many more – now for your songs. Hamburg-based producer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist with a real studio (Neumann U87s, AEA ribbon, Neve-style pres). I turn rough demos into warm, organic, release-ready productions: indie, rock, folk, punk, pop. Fast, friendly, no surprises.

I'm Kay – producer, songwriter, composer and sound designer from Hamburg, Germany.

For years I've written and produced music for international ad campaigns (Montblanc, Rocher, Nutella, Coca-Cola, Hyundai, Nestlé). That taught me to work fast, hit a brief and deliver broadcast-ready quality on deadline. My heart though beats for bands and songwriters: indie, rock, folk, Americana, punk – the stuff I play myself in my band Bardowick.

What I do for you:
• Full productions from voice memo to finished track
• Arrangements & songwriting support (music and lyrics)
• Live instruments: guitars, bass, pedalsteel, mandolin & more
• Recording, editing, mixing

How it works: send me your demo and references, we have a quick call, I deliver a first version – then we shape it together until it feels like YOUR song, just bigger.

I also coach songwriting and production – in person or online. Let's talk about your song!

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