It was amazing to work with Chase. His voice and technics are super talented and top quality, also his way of working composing and recording was super professional very fast. Even the pre-mix that he created on the vocals deserves to be highlighted. Will work with him again for sure.

Interview with Chase

Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: Being able to tour and perform for audiences is by far the most fun part of the job. Music is a universal language and being able to connect with people at live shows is the most thrilling part of being a singer.
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: Apollo Twin X4, Shure Sm7b, Genelec speakers, my fender stratocaster, and korg SV-1
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: I usually work on Pop, EDM, and indie-rock.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: Coming up with beautiful melodies and lyrics that will reinforce the emotional character of your song.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: Professional vocals with melodies that weave together. I'm a music-theory-nerd at heart and love to explore progressions and vocals in a way that is lush and uniquely beautiful.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: When I record vocals I need to absorb the track so that I can have an emotional response that is genuine for you. A lot of my best work tends to be one-take performances. I typically will spend the first-day doing melody writing and blocking in lyric ideas until there is a rough demo. Afterward, I will work with you to refine this demo until we have a concrete lead take that feels cohesive. Then we will dive into the details by adding backing layers and harmonies to make the vocal lush.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: Lead Vocals. Lyrics/Writing. Full Instrumental Composition & Production. Session Keyboard Session Guitar
Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: "Losing my mind" by New City is of the coolest songs I've worked on. It's been streamed millions of times and on many presitgious spotify playlists.
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: New album.
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: My promise is to deliver everything they're looking for and blow my clients away.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: Genelec 8040C Mojave MA300 RE20 Shure SM7B Fender Jazz Bass Fender Stratocato (American 90's) Korg SV1 UAD Apollo Twin X UAD Ultimate Bundle (over $20,000 worth of UAD and Waves Plugins ).
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
