                      Dear Rick....I just wanted to send a note to thank you for producing my CD. Your talent as a musician and your professional approach to arranging my music created incredible songs that I am extremely happy with and proud of. LUCY IANTORNO, client

                      Many people ask “What is a music producer & why do I need one?”. Good question.
                      Here are some of the things you can expect a good music producer to do;


                      • Help the artist/composer/lyricist choose material for a project
                      • Help the composer/lyricist crystallize his/her song form
                      • Help the artist/composer choose the best musical setting for a song
                      • Help the artist/composer find the right feel & tempo for the song
                      • Help the artist/composer pick instruments/musicians for the instrumental/vocal backing
                      • Compose and or play all the parts (the arrangement) which make up the instrumental/vocal backing
                      • Help the artist/composer to get the best recorded performance of the song
                      • Act as a primary or secondary “pair of ears” in all musical decisions
                      • Assist the artist/composer in finding avenues for the distribution of the finished product
                      • Inform the new artist/composer what the necessary next steps are towards a broader career in music
                      • Make good coffee/tea
                      • Have an easy going, yet clear & determined personality
                      • Be a great listener
