Why hire a music producer?
Are you happy with your current productions, or is there something missing?
Is your instrumental arrangement compelling, exciting and serving the song?
Are you thrilled with your vocal arrangements?
Have you got recordings and mixes that blow you away?
Are you fulfiling your creative and artistic potential in your music?
If you’ve brought your compositions and productions as far as you can, but they fall short of your goal, then engaging with the right music producer & arranger will help bring your musical vision to life.

What People Say
I’ve worked with Jim for several years now and he is an outstanding talent covering so many bases, multi-instrumentalist and singer/ vocal arranger/ music producer. He has everything to go far in this business. He is also such a pleasure to work with.
It was truly an honour to be involved in James’s recent album project. The songs and arrangements were terrific, clever and varied, and he’d used fabulous musicians, engineers and studios which made my job of mixing and mastering the record an extremely pleasurable process.
I have mixed a number of projects that Jim has been involved with over the last four years. My experience of him is that he is a very talented musician/programmer and arranger full of enthusiasm. Nothing is too much trouble. I cannot recommend him highly enough.
