Thomas Varner (Fear Fantastic) on SoundBetter

Agile young producer with experience in indie, alternative, and pop excited to help clients realize visions for their music!

As an artist of my own I have been burned by producers imposing their creative vision on my work as opposed to teasing out and emphasizing the parts I'd hoped they would...my hope is be the producer I'd wished I'd found for new clients!! That means understanding 1) what you are trying to make 2) who your audience is or could be 3) what you think your project still needs BEFORE starting to contribute myself. The better sense I have of these three, the fewer rounds of revision I suspect you'll ask for.

I specialize in all things indie, which means I'm used to working with loose iPhone recordings as well as more "polished" or traditional recording techniques. I have worked with artists directly, non-profits that focus on music education, and have clocked countless hours in the studios of myself and others. I am used to "meeting a client where they are at" and learning about where they are excited to go next!

At the end of the day I am another musician trying to survive off of my own skill set, and I will prioritize taking on clients who are in a similar position.

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

    I had a really great experience with Thomas. He's co-written and mixed all of the Kellan & Kevin original music and he's a joy to work with. Prompt, professional, and he guides you through the process in a kind and patient way. He's also great about suggesting fixes and bringing up interesting ideas throughout the song's gestation!

    I'm very satisfied with the quality and speed of work!
