Music Production
Tell us what your goal is with your music and we’ll share with you the best pathway to get there. The project can be done in person here in New York City, online, or anywhere in the world.
Recording
You’ve finished recording your songs. Now you need them mixed to the industry standard. Let us help you maximize the potential of your music with the best mix possible.
Mixing
You have a microphone and an interface, why do you need to hire an engineer? Great question. Are your recordings the best they can be? If not, do you know how to make them better? I’m here to help you, whether you just need to record a vocal, a band, a choir, an orchestra, etc. Let’s make your recordings legendary.
Mastering
What is Mastering, really? It’s that ‘final polish’ that helps your song translate to every playback medium that your audience listens with. Don’t settle for an algorithm to guess what works for your mix, have an expert dial in the sound that you’ve dreamed of.
Coaching
I’ve been working with artists for decades, and I’ve seen the right way to succeed as one, and the wrong way to fail as one. So let’s get you sorted on a path to exist, and even flourish, with your songs, writing and career.
Artist Management
Sydney Lett
“Sydney is the first artist I have managed”, says, Robert. “I’ve worked with thousands of artists over the years, and I’ve seen what it is to be a real artist and why someone is an artist. Sydney is an artist for all the right reasons and it was clear that with focus and direction she could be truly be an artist for the ages. An excellent songwriter and master performer, she keeps proving to me that I made the right decision.”
In 2025 we recorded two songs with producer Chris Hierro, and the experience for all of us was magical. Proof once again that when you have the right people in the room the results can be legendary. Fast forward to Sydney’s first gig in New York City, at The Bitter End. Playing with guitarist Marc Copley and violinist Lorenza Ponce, the show was beyond what anyone expected, and was so good that we put it out as an album “Live at The Bitter End”.
Next up is Sydney’s first full length album. The songs are written, the album is titled, and recording has begun. The sky truly is the limit for Miss Lett, so consider this a heads up about an artist that you will be hearing about very soon.
