Musicdecco is amazing. He delivered a perfect track on Fender Rhodes for our record; it sounded like a finished record. Very easy to work with; our highest recommendation. Thank you. E

Musicdecco gave me exactly what I requested (and had been hearing in my head) for my song. I wanted a vintage Wurlitzer adding warmth and groove and that's precisely what I received - and very quickly. He was completely open to ideas and the entire process went without a hitch. HIGHLY recommended for keys work.

Interview with Musicdecco

Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: Currently, working as a session musician and playing at a local church.
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: My promise is that my goal is to meet or exceed what they are looking for. That is 100% my goal.
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: I would just bring two: myRhodes and fender amp.
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: To be a professional keyboardist. Music is my passion. I have been doing this for over 40 years now. Wow. I am old!
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: Rock, country, blues with a slight classical flare.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: Be professional and adaptable!
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: I have two goals: the main one, of course, is to meet (or exceed) my client's needs. The second goal is to make sure that the keyboards bring out the quality of the song. I don't want my client wondering what they paid for. For lack of a better way to put it, and danger of being cliche, I want to make sure the keys give "magic" or "energy" to the mix.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: My workflow is first, listen to the song and discuss with the client what they are wanting. Then, record some samples and send to the client to see what they like or want changed. Next, I record the track of the entire song down. Lastly, I will send it to the client to see what they think. It is really a back-and-forth communication style with the client to make sure they get exactly what they are wanting.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: My studio setup consists of Studio One. I also have guitars, and numerous keyboards; the right tool for the job! My outboard gear include various compressors and exciters. The mic locker consists of ribbon mics, condensor mics, and plenty more for the right sound.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: The most common work I do is either organ or Rhodes/Wurlitzer electric piano playing. The most common genre I receive is rock and roll.
Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: I know this is cliche and sounds like a marketing line, but I truly try with each song that I do to be proud. I want to do the best that I can. The song is obviously important to the client since they are willing to pay for a keyboard track. It's only right to do the best and go that extra mile. That keyboard track will be on there forever!
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: I prefer analog because of the knobs and buttons. It just looks cool and fun!
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: I enjoy giving people back their song with a keyboard track that they love and makes them happy.
Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A: They usually ask if I use a real Rhodes and Wurlitzer. Which, the answer is, yes I do.
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: That it doesn't take long. But, to get the song and learn it (ie.: figure out the chords, learn the feel of the song) and then figure out something to compliment the song and actually record it, that can take hours.
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: What they are looking for. Be it organ, Rhodes, piano, the feeling and mood they are looking for...
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: I know not working with someone face to face / working with a complete stranger can be nerve-racking. But, I take this seriously (and enjoy it), so rest assured, I work closely with you to make sure you get the keyboard part that you want.
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: If I could go back into time, I would like to work with Rainbow or Deep Purple. I feel I could really grow and learn a lot from those bands.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: I normally work on blues, rock, jazz, country, and ballads.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: My strongest skill is being adaptable. If you give me a song, I will return it with a keyboard track that fits and sounds like it was made for that song.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: Benmont Tench of the Heartbreakers is one keyboardist that I really enjoy his work. Sylvia Massy is an inspirational recording engineer due to her artistic and creative ways to record sound. Jon Lord of Deep Purple and Tony Carey of Rainbow are also keyboardists who have inspired me.
